EPCOT Test Track to be reimagined

[WowFactor]

So not a chance of riding it in July?

I think language for this has shifted from "Summer 2025" to "Late 2025?"

Nevermind, language is at "Late Summer 2025". I feel post June-Mid September is my bet.

I'm still putting my money on August.

Did you see what types of props were being staged?

Only saw a faux tree on a pallet.

At EPCOT right now, nice to hear the cars going around the track. They are pretty quiet compared to before but could be at reduced speed, etc.

Can they control the Speed of the Outdoor Track??

Well, they're obviously gonna make it slower so the song plays for the whole duration. /s(?)

Can Gary Owens be resurrected for narration purposes?

I think “before the first MNSSHP” looks likely at this point. Lets hope testing continues to go well.

For the last time, please stop complimenting people on their masks only to learn they actually just have ugly faces.

Nono, you're thinking of Horror Nights. Mickey's starts late April.

Serious question....was the sound a result of the speed or sound generated for effect?

I distinctly remember Test Track having a loud roar when it zoomed through the main loop around the pavilion. It was music to my ears.

Then you'll like this loop it includes the sound of the cars as they go through the outside loop..

Late Summer....in Disney-speak isn't that sometime in November?

Every time they talk about this attraction I feel like I somehow know less about it than before (from a recent Orlando Sentinel article)

Disney sure loves using “storytelling” as a buzzword these days. I wish they’d explain HOW this new version is based on World of Motion rather than just being vague. Are there humorous show scenes with animatronic characters? Is it the history of transportation told through scenes? Or is it just a series of themed outdoorsy sets with no characters, instead just playing “It’s Fun to Be Free” everywhere? I’m worried it’s the latter. I feel like they would be advertising new animatronics or throwbacks to old scenes instead of just a generic forest scene.

Bring back the Sea Serpent!

If AA's were involved In this version we would have heard something and at least had it displayed at an expo.....Somehow, I feel this is going to be yet another projection heavy attraction and the promo scene they keep showing looks to be the high speed turns segment showing minor scenery..Which keeps us guessing why we've not seen any newer images yet..
