News Test Track to be reimagined

[norrsund]

Primeval Whirl was put into seasonal operation in summer of 2019. I'm not sure when it operated after that point but it was announced that it wouldn't reopen once the parks came back from the Covid closure and was subsequently dismantled.

Primeval came back for one last time during the 2019 holiday season. I think I rode it for the first and last time in early December 2019.

Looking forward to this update, i still listen to the attraction music from the original theming, I'm kind of exited by this closure , just hope we don't have to design stupid cars anymore before we ride, I've just seem POV of Tiana's splash mountain, and it looks pretty great to be honest, so if they can give the same love to TT, should be a winner.

yeah no....but should be fine with GM funding a lot of it.

I am too. I was a big fan of WoM and I also really liked the original test track. Test track 2.0? Not so much. But the idea of combining parts of WoM and the original test track could be amazing. It's all in the hands of the imagineers. I am unfortunately not with you on the care to Tiana's. I don't think it meets what it should have been. That said, I'm sure GM has a lot of say because it's their dime. So I'm hopeful that they do it right. Of course they approved tron track so it's anyone's guess how this goes. But of all the re-dos, this is one I have the most hope for.

I’m glad this getting sponsored and also it’s cool how this is a non IP attraction getting some love.

Fun Factoid: If GM didn't renew, they were fully game to reskin Test Track into Cars.

That would have been almost the worst possible outcome.

Cars? That's too obvious for an IP overlay.

Surely Zootopia or Coco were considered first?

Let’s hope this latest rendition of the attraction stands the test of time so they won’t get any ideas later on down the line

The IP will be Chevrolet like it is now.

Amateur. Suger rush was the number one choice if sponsorship fell through.

...why am I not surprised?

I heard it was going to stay a car test range, but now it's a boat ride for some reason.

I heard about that also! Both were on the table but none really got above a 'in case of fire' case scenario.

Because a GM exec (CEO?) is on the Disney board lol. That's likely the main reason the companies have such a strong relationship.

I've probably said it in here, but I like the car design motif of the current ride. I could spend an hour designing a car...3 minutes (is it less?) isn't enough.

 

[TTA94]

So the track layout is not changing correct?

 

[Captain Neo]

Since it’s taking inspiration from Disney’s history with GM are they going to have a scene or two with the Universe of Energy dinosaur AAs or World of Motion AAs?

Last I heard, nope.
