EPCOT Test Track to be reimagined

[Centauri Space Station]

Its been a gradual decline. WoM had exhibits and actual shows, 1.0 had small side attractions and exhibits, then 2.0 had the little games.

It had plenty of a link. Your design competed against the others in your vehicle, then you could use it in all the post show exhibits/games. I don't understand why this element of the attraction seems to constantly be looked back on as "Well I thought my ride vehicle was gonna look like what I designed and it wasn't so this was pointless"

I found 2.0 post show far more substantial to 1.0. They had the factory and a small show to the side with car area while 2.0 had the test scores, commercial kiosk, racing game, car area and photo ops.

Introduce Figment to TT3 preshow and play Get Out of My Dreams Get into my Car by Billy Ocean during the ride.

Boom. I'm an Imagineer.

It was always fun making abominations against nature with that car thing lol.

Never did really work that well though. Good gimmick for its time!

That's what my son's would do.
On first trip or two, they did it as best a kid could do.
On our last trip, they were about 19 and my son Jack made the most absurd vehicle possible.

We too would make the most ridiculous monstrosity of a vehicle which was always good for a laugh.

Fun fact: the Cybertruck was designed by a 9-year old riding Test Track 2.0.

The car designing that had no actual link to the ride?

Yeah, they really have to avoid these set-ups that don't actually work with the ride system they're using. This concept of testing the design of a car by getting into a completely different car never really made sense.

I also put Dinosaur into that category, as the whole transporting a dinosaur back with you was very clunky as you were in a jeep which obviously couldn't fit a dinosaur. They threw in the line about enlarging the transporter field, but a) you had to be paying attention to get that and b) it would also raise more questions about what exactly was being transported back. Another case where the obsession with story got the better of them, at least in my opinion.

In short, just have the set-up and story make sense for the ride vehicle!

They have spotted the cars testing on the track for test track!

Looks to be black and silver.

If you look closely, you can see they're testing riders too!

Here's a photo of the rider walking out from the attraction:

Left Epcot through backstage today and I saw quite a bit of Test Track props being staged

We just drove under the track part of the track and I can confirm that the streetlights have been changed to rgbs - little red green and blue dots on each one

Did you see what types of props were being staged?

It does give a further sense of how much they uglified Epcot during the 1990s with all that unnecessary clutter.

 

[Disgruntled Walt]

Really seems like they're moving along very quickly. Any hope for early July?
