If only there was some other pavilion in Future World East to compensate for Test Track's closure.
Maybe something inside, like a big dome, that wouldn't close during a thunderstorm
Maybe a thing with not just one ride, but some shows too, for those that aren't tall enough or get motion sickness
Maybe with something to keep kids active if they want to run off some steam
Something with healthier food options as well
IDK, just throwing it out there...

This just occurred to me, Ford Magic Skyway began with Dinosaurs, perhaps with the closure of countdown we’ll be getting a dinosaur scene on Test Track?

As someone who always skipped the Design Studio portion of TT 2.0, I'll be glad to see it go. I hope that the new version can have a preshow of some sort more akin to the original. That was really fun and they could probably put in some nods to World of Motion in there.

If it doesn’t come from the lips of the guy who works the dinner shift at the All-Star Sports food court it’s not true!I'm sorry, but a kid on the Internet said Late July because of his source with front line CMs. You're clearly wrong!!!

I love the Design Studio portion but I don't think it should be "required" to get on the attraction...a separate area...like they have at the exit, honestly, is fine.
The other issue is that a lot of the screens never update during the ride anyway, so you never really see proper info about how your design is doing anyway until you get off of the ride.

We rode last week, and only one screen in the entire attraction displayed my girls' creation.
The screen at the reentry ramp as atrocious burn-in as well. Scrap the whole lot of them.

Removing the canopy? All sins forgiven, Imagineering is back, #neverdoubtediger ;-)Disney has shared a new rendering for the Test Track reimagining. Test track will close beginning June 17, 2024.
I’ve been of the mind that there is more money to be made in the epcot food and drink booths with Guardians VQ. Gets people in the park and buying high margin treats while they wait for their call time.

I've never been on Test Track 2.0. I've only been at WDW a handful of times since it was changed and never bothered with it. I don't really remember why, but I assume it's because I had FP+ for other attractions instead and didn't think TT 2.0 looked interesting enough to wait an hour to ride. Now I'll never experience it!
And I can't say I feel like I missed anything, so I'm excited to see how this new version turns out.
Do we have any inside information on what exactly they're planning to do? They must already know if it's closing so soon.

I know that this part of TT is much maligned, and I don't disagree with that mindset in principle. But I do know my kids will be devastated. TT is one of their favorite rides, and they *love* the design studio. At least we will be able to go on it one more time since we will be there in a little more than a week.
I don't often agree with you, but in this case, you're spot on.

I heard there's a crew of dinosaurs looking for new housing...
His news was certainly EXCLUSIVE!

The concept art definitely seems like they're enclosing the outdoor portion, but that's just my perspective.

I hope with 3.0 they either lean more into the EV aspect or lean into a romanticized retro car journey. The concept art with the forest gives vibes for both, so we’ll see.
Love the current soundtrack, but now that we have real Tron, might be time to pivot.
A smooth car ride with classic oldies playing throughout would really lend itself to a chill, fun experience.

The art doesn’t show that.

I am genuinely curious what the story is. Pulling back from WOM seems to indicate the whole “test track” element may be downplayed? They are keeping the name so I’m curious how they blend those two.
