News Test Track to be reimagined

[Andrew25]

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.

Dang are they adding the yellow minions theme in it too?

You'd have to ask Dan Povenmire

That new logo on the walls looks AWESOME

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.

In the new version, you won't be designing cars -- you'll be building them! It's straight to the assembly line of this actual GM plant for you! Get on the ride faster by meeting your quota!

I hope that the design portion doesn’t return. It became my least favorite portion of the ride with the whole bottleneck once you left the design room. I would almost rather have the space become switchbacks.

We did have fun designing cars and came up with some crazy designs over the years. I will not miss it, though.

Yeah it was fun the first few times but it definitely overstayed its welcome.

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

They are using 'temporarily' pretty fast and loose.

 

[dreamfinding]

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"

God, I experience lizard brain syndrome so much

Does it though.....?

Looks all of the same to me.

Unfortunately, it isn't the new EPCOT font. Which is a missed opportunity. I liked the uniformity of the attraction marquees from days past.

 

[EagleScout610]

I wonder if the cast got to ride last night.

 

[TrainsOfDisney]

So how much is a sponsorship like this where you actually get to move Disney to do something thematically appropriate for the park?

Maybe we could get together and sponsor the Imagination pavilion!?

Now's the (perfect) time to take GOTG off the virtual queue.

Most guests (including me) would just ride Test Track (single rider no wait!) nearby while waiting for our BG to be called. But now that isn't an option anymore..

 

[EagleScout610]

Was TT holding crowds that well? Yesterday, which was a Sunday, had Soarin' at only 20 for most of the day and Figment around 10.

See, that would be a good call. That is simply too much to ask of operations.

I will be elated if that sticks around. I don’t think it will, so I’m waiting for the program to leak.
