News Test Track to be reimagined

[DW Aficionado]

I think they should make it into a CARS themed ride. I know it's not the best park for it, but the track is there and it could be fun

 

[SilentWindODoom]

Everyone's excited for Wonders of Life coming back with emotions. I'm just here in shock that we coulda had Guardians without losing Energy? Space is my favorite ride in the park and I'd have taken that in a heartbeat.

How long is this expected to take to complete?

 

[ToTBellHop]

Based upon the box office predictions, I’m excited for the Inside Out takeover of WoL and for Living with the Land with Deadpool & Wolverine.

 

[ToTBellHop]

How long is this expected to take to complete?

Somewhere around a year. They’d like to reopen next summer but sometimes you don’t know til you start. RnRC is taking longer than originally anticipated.

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?

Maybe I am forgetting, but what does GM have to do with Universe of Energy? The farthest back I remember is Exxon for UoE.

 

[DCLcruiser]

I don’t want to spend more than 5 minutes, but I do like explaining the driving and energy dynamics to my kids and they love trying to focus on a specific metric to max out.

I totally get why other people don’t enjoy extra opportunities to stand around in the line. Would be nice if you had the choice to do the design or skip it.

Sounds like you're not into drawing or design? I used to sketch cars all the time.

While I know that there is a kiosk in the car-show gallery after the ride (which can be accessed by entering the exit), I don't want to waste LL strategy time on it. What I really want is the ability to design the car on the MDE app, and then have it saved to my magicband. So, I could spend my free time designing a car, and then get to the ride and just tap/download it to the kiosk.

The Land has been relatively spared, proving that it is the perfect Pavillion and without flaw.

Ah, the golden child.

Most of the Universe of Energy Dinosaurs are clones of the dinosaurs seen in Disneyland Railroads Primeval world section which are originally from GM and Disney’s New York World Fair pavillon. That Pavillion is the original inspiration for the Peoplemover, World of Motion and Test Track.

Disney’s Primeval World was part of Ford’s pavilion, not GM. GM had a Futurama ride based on a similar attraction GM showcased at the 1939 fair.

 

[Haymarket2008]

Any chance this could be thrown into th Evolving Epcot subforum??

 

[Rich Brownn]

Oh the stuff I've heard....

Before it was set to be demolished, Innoventions had a Big Hero 6 layover toyed around with. Mission Space was going to be rethemed to Guardians before they settled on the coaster and using UOE as the sacrificial lamb. Wonders of Life-Inside Out plans, but yall probably knew about this.

The Land has been relatively spared, proving that it is the perfect Pavillion and without flaw.

And the Land pavilion is the one place they removed and IP and replaced it with a non-IP (the movie)

Aha that’s right. But if I recall the ford pavillion was a source of inspiration for World of Motion right?

8 year old me rode this in 1964 and I still remember riding in actual cars (convertibles) and that clear tube that went outside the bldg at the start of the ride.

 

[Sorcerer Mickey]

I’m concerned if it does really well at the box office and they decide to shove it into Imagination once again (with Figment alongside of course). Let’s hope Wonders is indeed earmarked for a potential Inside Out attraction and plans to shove it in Imagination will remain dead. Of course Wonders makes the most sense for an Inside Out attraction but as well all know, Disney will never commit to anything that makes that much sense

I mean, Imagination has a functional ride in it already, while Wonders is just sitting there rotting away. Why would they not add capacity?!

Theoretically yes that makes the most sense. Thing is, it makes too much logical sense for them to do it so they won’t. Not saying Imagination will turn into an Inside Out attraction w Figment, just that I wouldn’t be surprised

 

[Tha Realest]

Figment is a protected species. He's safe and will remain safe.

He’s been a functional hostage for two decades.

If that’s “safe,” I’d hate to see marked-for-destruction.

He deserves to be locked up. He sabotages a tour of a scientific research facility so he can invite girls he just met back to his place and “fly [them] to the moon and back.”

What a perv.

Every new grain of sand I hear about this refresh thru the grapevine really gets my gears going.


I still have not heard a solid answer if Fun To Be Free is returning by the way. I keep asking and get nothing.
