I'm not sure what was so funny about my post @AndyMagic, but the doors were not working on my 2021 or 2022 trip.

Doors on Safari?

Do we yet have an ETA as to when Test Track is set to close?

It’s a GM product, so any time now.

Nope. We don't even have a year.

202?

• Test Track theme refresh inspired by World of Motion and sponsored by Chevrolet

Hopefully it lasts longer than TT 1.0 as the superior version

I believe Tony Baxter was heavily involved in Star Tours 2.0 (might have been the final substantial project he had a hand in), so that probably explains some aspects of its success.

Tony's arch nemesis Tom Fitzgerald was the lead on the Star Tours 2.0 refresh if i am remembering correctly.
As far as i am aware, Tony was not involved in the re-do.

Tony's last major project he had a direct hand in at WDI before his 'retirement' was Disneyland's 'Fantasy Faire' themed area.

I’m honestly stoked for this. Does anyone have any idea when TT could close?

Nothing has leaked, but I would assume this is something they can announce in full at D23 and close in January and have reopen at the end of the year 2025 to be "something for the Orlando parks" in 2025. I don't think much else they have coming (ride wise) could be ready in 2025. It's not a lot, but it's SOMETHING.

The timeline for this is very different than what you propose…

Is it going to close sooner than that or later?

Indeed! Bob can no longer speak without mentioning the turbocharging of the parks.

Didn't they state in the call this week that alot of the "adds" are to be done by 2025? If so, I would assume this will close down pretty soon.

He said they’ll start in 2025. So we are still quite a few turbocharged lattes away. I’m going with raspberry mocha for Valentine’s Day.

Disney is never late closing a ride, nor are they early, they close a ride precisely when they mean to.

Hmm, maybe I misread it, but I saw it stated somewhere in the reports money was targeted for 2025, assume at least some of this would have been completed, but I can see where that can be taken as spending start in 2025
