Test Track refurb???

[The Empress Lilly]

That looks great. Very sleek, very EPCOT-y. I marvel at how it is both retro and contemporary, awesome design.

Where were these people all this time? Why couldn't they have been in charge during the Epcotalypse of 94-99!?

Does anyone know how this driving table works? Is it holograms, projections, or what?

Does anyone else like this carpet as much as I do?

I'm not terribly fond of it, but that's a minor nitpick to what otherwise looks good.

i have no idea. Maybe there's a screen in the middle?

Yeah, I always thought that concept art was interesting.

That all looks fantastic.

i find it weird that there's so much room in the postshow. The old one wasn't that big and i have no idea where that racing thing came from.

 

[towerofterror8]

are there any pictures of the ride itself?

 

[towerofterror8]

That all looks fantastic.

i actually think it looks kinda boring. The old one was all bright and loud. This looks like the opposite.

I know! It used to be short and cramped, like you were being forced to get inside a GM car. Now it looks like, opposite New Fantasyland, even the post show is filled with substance, and it is so roomy looking! I think I can now officially declare Test Track my favorite and the best Future World attraction! Mind blown!

I think it looks much more interesting than the old one.

i guess the car maker machine and all the cars just made it really cramped. But i don't know how it's so open. It can't wait to see it

i don't know. I just think it's too little of action and humor. The old line had lots going on and the preshow was funny. I think this is much more serious, but still fun.

They are in Warren, MI ... and they do stuff like this (and more) for just about every Auto Show, every year.

The preshow definitely won't have the same McKim spunk. The posts how looks great though.

Well...it looks great, which is important. But I have to wait and see how much fun it is to spend 5/7/9 minutes designing a car after the third or fourth time.

Anybody still exited to do the personalised & interactive SSE video? Or would you swap it for some old-fashioned 'obsolete-because-not-interactive' immersive storytelling?

Do you think there will be a little something in the ride hinting to bill McKim.

Looks fantastic. Keep in mind, the work lights are on in these pictures. Under show lighting it will look unreal.

Meh. Bright and loud is for IoA. EPCOT, FW, is about careful design, flowing lines, subtlety, elegance through restraint.
