News Test Track to be reimagined

[Tuvalu]

For some reason, this thought popped into my head this morning. This thought might be completely out there and entirely wrong. Will they add Cars IP to the new updates on Test Track?

The new update will be a tribute to the Horizon. At the same time, I wouldn't be surprised if characters from Cars also appeared. Epcot's goal is to introduce more intellectual properties to the park. Adding a Cars Land wouldn't make sense since we already have the Test Track. Therefore, the story would be different.

Additionally, this ride is closing in the middle of the summer, and we have the D23 Expo in August. I could see them making this announcement. Cars characters might become a part of the whole Test Track while also subtly referencing Horizon.

Guardians did the same thing. I remember when this attraction was first announced. They said it would pay homage to the original Epcot, with Star-Lord visiting Epcot during the 80s. However, we only got a photo of Peter standing before Spaceship Earth.

Also, take a look at CommuniCore Hall. They have new artwork featuring classic Epcot attractions. It is a lazy reference to say you are keeping with the spirit of Epcot.

Not Horizons. World of Motion.

Oh gosh. I cannot believe I did that. Just woke up and didn't have coffee. But still. Argh. Disney World Fan Card Revoke! My mistake, thanks!

It will be nice to see that big ol' canopy in front of the building finally removed... I'd imagine that should happen relatively quickly...

No Cars IP infusion in the main ride.

Remember when I said I heard about a post-show thing with AAs? That might have a familiar tow truck, but like, that's just one source that told me that. And it's been my most unreliable so...

i wonder if they are going to move quick on the outside to be able to move the walls back. I guess there’s now big incentive to beside aesthetics.

Sounds like a tv jingle from the 60's.

Are they the right font and style for the era and place?

We need to make sure the Imagineers research what Autotopia looked like in 20XX.

I know it's not THE WoM font but, DAMN that looks similar.

Isn’t that the new EPCOT font but italicized?

It is! It's just the color choice and the font is making my lizard brain go "yes... it's like the ride I never experienced and closed 9 years before I was born"

Wall-less Epcot was fun while it lasted.

Hoping that part of the work here is to make the planters/areas in front of the pavilion more like the new Hub space. It's a far better aesthetic compared to the pink concrete walls/planters.

So, what's the over/under on the "design your vehicle" aspect returning? If anything, I'd love to see it removed (or pushed completely to MDE) just to give more interior queue space and the option for a more interesting interior queue...

I think they’ve implied heavily that that part will be cut entirely. It was fun the first few times, but I feel like it almost seemed campy by the end of 2.0’s run.
