EPCOT Test Track to be reimagined

[Disgruntled Walt]

He does post inaccurate info at times. His income is the clicks, so, like many other vloggers, he's desperate for content and reports everything 'he hears,' even if it's from unreliable sources or people that make suppositions without any basis for accuracy.

His "late July" was based on frontline CMs working TT. That's the kind of news just about anyone can share (and often do). Front line CMs do indeed sometimes get a heads-up with info regarding the attraction they work at. But... this isn't deep insider information.

And his CM sources were still off by over a month.

Yeah and some people here thought TRON would be open by December 2022. Lots of people are wrong all the time.

That's why we vet them.

Good day.

Good day to you as well

Not sure if this has been mentioned or if there are any rumors but is there a plan for the post-show areas? I assume Chevy will still showcase their cars, but the area is pretty large and would love to see something of substance in the post-show areas.

A little birdy told me that the WoM influence is mostly going to be in the post-show..

He didn't have a robot sidekick named Tiger per chance?

 

[splah]

I hope they remove the anti lock brake swerve section. Rode last week and could have done without the spinal realignment

I thought it was Tyger...

I heard murmurs that there's going to be a show like that in the post-show. I dunno if they're returning but I think Bird is still in archives?

Bird isn't in Disney's archives, he's in BRC Imagination Arts' "archives" (the company who produced the show and manufactured the figure)

Nothing a little Disney money can’t fix!

They would build a new figure lol, no sense in bringing back one from 40 years ago which has already found a new permanent home. It would probably cost less to make another one than it would to negotiate for the original back.

Just to clear the air, I don't believe Bird and the Robot is returning. I heard rumors of the post-show getting a show like that (with AAs), but other than that, expect the WoM 'influence' to be minimal.

I have no word on if the song is returning or not. I'm placing 51/49 odds on the song returning.

Interesting. Disney choosing to explicitly say they’re using WOM for inspiration in TT3.0 and then confining any traces of WOM to a post-show Easter egg or two seems like one of the worst promo strategies they could go with. A sure fire way to make many people feel underwhelmed in the final product, regardless of it’s actual merits.

I still think adding back the song, more robust sets, and a light-hearted narration are table stakes for saying you’re referencing WOM. Anything else is a wonderful bonus.

Get rid and build journey to the centre of the earth like they have in Tokyo and what uses the same technology

 

[aladdin2007]

lets get back on track about test track.

 

[EeyoreFan#24]

I hope they use some of the budget to make the ride system support the new version. I feel they hamstrung themselves a little with 2.0 by not changing the ride system and following the same requirements.

I get it’s an old system and changing the tempo and programming might not be easy, but I think they need to do something with the infrastructure itself. If they want to set apart from the last too.

I've heard sets are planned to be 'somewhat' better. I cannot comment on narration.
