News Test Track to be reimagined

[MisterPenguin]

Never underestimate budget scrooges. We are only into the early stages and if cost overruns occur they may try to cut this one back.

There's an internal contradiction here.

A "budget Scrooge" wouldn't spend anything.

But then you mention "cost overruns," which means they are indeed spending quite a lot.

Disney does indeed usually go overbudget. That means they spend more than they wanted and more than other theme parks do. But it does mean that if one part of the project is running over, it gets scaled back, or, some other project gets cut.

But they still (over) spend the money. Not hoard it like Scrooge.

Shouldn’t take them long to demolish the sets from v 2.0. Wasn’t much there!

I'm excited for the day the ugly blight canopy starts to come down.

It’ll be like the BAH thread all over again!!

Neither did 1.0

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

I guess I don't get why people want to get rid of it? It doesn't make the line longer and kids seem to love it. My kids still debate who made the better vehicle. It's integration into the ride itself was a little suboptimal, but letting kids spend 5 minutes making some nonsense was a great distraction from the wait.

I can't wait for the new Test Track 3.0! and maybe to shop in the new Test Track 3.0 if it will reopen!

More details to be announced at D23!

I can't hardly wait for more details to be announced at D23 next month!

Wish the same could be said for something else over at MK.

I'm torn. I liked the visual of 2.0 but the story of 1.0. I think 3.0 will nail it on both counts. Glad it's being updated.

I meant the canopy. Both are better at their own things.

Oh! Yeah. Good riddance.

Hopefully our purple friend is next. He deserves the sun to shine on him again. I can’t wait for the BAH thread: figment edition.

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.

That's not what I was saying at all. I don't want it replaced. GM paying for it is great. I want Disney to invest their own money into new things! The main issue is everything Disney has come out with in the past 5+ years has been utter trash so even when they do spend the money the output stinks.

Sadly, I don’t think seeing the canopy being dismantled will be as satisfying as it was to watch the wand or BAH being dismantled.
