News Test Track to be reimagined

[Bocabear]

If you are suggesting it becomes the main theme, NO. great big beautiful tomorrow should NEVER be replaced. Now is the time I suggested as exit music and exit music only.

Main theme for COP...yes I am saying that... It was the song of the attraction on it's addition to WDW...and WDW specific... Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow was for the World's Fair and Disneyland... I would love to have WDW's own original song back....the song of my childhood...

ATP I feel like cop without the great big beautiful tomorrow song is like tiki room without the tiki room song.

I guess it depends on what you grew up with... I started going to WDW in 1971 when the park first opened....from the 1975 opening of COP until 1993 THAT was the song...

Good they are doing a refresh, but how about something NEW. Stop just replacing old rides with a re-skin. Add new things and more capacity.

The unreliability was definitely a big downer for me. I’m still unsure how folks would get some of the high performance scores they got on the car design, especially with the limited time you had to do the design

Because the settings to build the highest score were online a long time ago to Google in advance.

It will keep going until GM has financial issues and/or collapses, just like all the others.

Sponsorship in next iteration - Tesla robotaxi!

Wait, when did cosmic take the spot from mission space orange?

Cosmic is the first ride to make me barf.

It never meant that though. With Epcot it meant throwing out a lot of concepts to appease the sponsors. It meant delays and cutbacks. It also (IMHO) meant less timeless attractions if you go back and look at what the imagineers originally pitched before an outside interest had any influence. It only barely worked for a time and that time has long since past. As others have pointed out, that model of investment doesn't work anymore.

You mean more family, more timeless, more Disney?

Test Track is a popular and successful attraction. It’s getting a refresh on GM’s dime to set it up for the next decade. There’s not an option here where Test Track is replaced entirely or GM sponsors an additional new build attraction.

Looking forward to finding out a bit more about what they're planning. The mention of it taking some cues from WoM will be interesting to see. What I can't work out is how they'll tie it all in to the double brake test. They awkwardly ignored the first one when they switched over to trontrack. With the update they either need to rework that section so it doesn't do the brake test or make it apart of the show again.

I just hope they get rid of the pre-show and expand the indoor queue a bit.

 

[FigmentFan82]

Yeah I'd be very fine if they got rid of the whole design studio thing. It had it's time and now I think we're ready to move on from that. At least I am. I'm trying to think if anything of significance could be done with that space for the attraction itself or if it could only ever really be the queue.

My guess is that pre-shows are going to be included with all E tickets going forward. It allows Disney to sell LLs while still expecting to be in line for 15-25m (“it was a walk on all the way to the pre show!”). I don’t want to be right and I don’t think TT “needs” a pre-show, but if there is going to be one, I’d prefer an interactive pre-show like the car design studio as opposed to the standard more passive ones we’ve seen pop up over the past 10 years.
