News Test Track to be reimagined

[peng]

A non-IP based redo feels like something that would happen if hell freezes over, thankfully we actually got one for this ride. Looks better than tron track already.

Just keep the simcar racing game at the end and I’ll be happy. Me and my brother got so much fun out of that on rainy days.

Now, just imagine if we had sponsors for all the other pavilions with as much interest as GM.....

Got a good chuckle out of me:

Because Test Track is just a way better ride than World of Motion ever was.

Someone has to say it.

If you believe that. then thank God you are not in charge of making any decisions at Disney.

 

[ToTBellHop]

Cautiously optimistic. Sounds like an improvement over 2.0.

On a side note- has anyone else been on Test Track within the last 2 years and had parts of the old ride audio cut in and out?

Could’ve sworn I’ve heard “Alright, let’s” then cuts back to TT2.0

I thought I was crazy last weekend, glad to hear someone else heard it too.

As a big car guy, I really like the current version with car design as the focus. Hopefully this version will still allow that, but in a more realistic way. EVs should be front and center.

I’d assume the queue will feature WoM artifacts? I don’t really remember it.

Isn’t the forest curve in the ride already? Or was that the previous version about car testing?

Hasn't it been theorised that Test Track 2.0 was essentially proof of concept for Tron? Personally I liked it more than TT 1.0, but excited for 3.0

It is but its the literal cardboard cutout trees. Back in 1, they were green with some lighting. In 2, they're black with laser projections on them. This looks to be actually removing the cutouts and installing real prop trees which is a win.

I wasn’t going to watch the EPCOT panel tonight but I will now because I hope they’ll go into more detail.

Kinda wish this would happen to me. Would be cool if it included the Gary Owens WoM audio too lol

If they remove the canopy this will be an instant win

 

[Animaniac93-98]

I guess now that there's a real TRON ride in WDW, there's no need for an off brand imitation

The park might fade into obscurity if you were in charge. Surely you recognize that the vast majority of people would much prefer Test Track over World of Motion.

They are not bringing World of Motion back. Hints of World of Motion into the next realm of Test Track is a win. World of Motion was expensive to maintain hence why it's not here anymore. It didn't fade away because it wasn't popular.

Test Track was the most expensive ride they’d ever built.

The vast majority of people would probably prefer they bulldoze Spaceship Earth and put up a roller coaster too. That doesn't mean it would be a better/higher quality attraction.

Although as I said above, Test Track was pretty good! Just not as good as what it replaced.

Personal opinion here but, I think a Back To The Future ride could work perfectly in Test Track. Although it's a Universal Baby so clearly not possible legally...but just a pipe dream.

“Fun to be Free” performed by Olivia Rodrigo is going to rock.
