I'd wager they have to replace the panels instead of repairing, which doesn't quite feel in the cards... but who knows

I think GM continues to sponsor a ride at that location, but will it still be Test Track in 15 years is a more interesting question. I mean, it's a great ride system, but if they really are going to build RSR somewhere on property, maybe GM will be ready for something totally new and fresh in 15 years. If GM does drop the sponsorship, I think Disney keeps the ride chugging on for years to come, but if GM is still putting out the money...

Would be hilarious if it goes back to being an omnimover after 3.0. Would be the first one since... The Little Mermaid in Florida?

As of rn yes, but we’ll see what Encanto brings.

Currently it's rumored to be a water ride but a water omnimover would be hilarious.

Huh... That level of city model isn't half bad and if it were put in the loop you'd be going fast enough that they could very well put the City of Progress in the middle of the final loop without having the spend a lot.

I was hoping for the next generation of the slot car ride system (maybe something that can do a bit of a drifting effect or something with more on-board effects?) but yeah... a back step to another omnimover would be kind of funny!

I genuinely think GM in is in for forever. If they wanted out, they would have done it in 2009 with the bailout.

We've got a closer look at the doors on the side of the building now.
The second photo shows what looks like the backside of the "OnStar" screen from right before the capability section.
This isnt a new hole, but actual doors that have been there since World of Motion (see below):

Those hinges definitely look 40 years old. Need some WD40

I assume that's how they pulled off the heat room in TT 1.0 - Just crack those babies open for a few seconds. Hello Florida.
Blog mickey came to a similar conclusion in their article: https://blogmickey.com/2024/06/equi...ld-begins-reimagining-of-test-track-at-epcot/
