Really want them to have a section where you watch clips from Tron surround your vehicle again, if anything just to make people who hated TT 2.0 mad

On the canopy.
Yes, it doesn't harm Test Track to the same extent a similar canopy would harm Haunted Mansion.
But that doesn't mean it doesn't generally hurt the aesthetics of Test Track.
The building is just generally better without it.
It's just clutter.

SPEED TUNNEL!!!!

Yeah if only Speed Tunnel meant enclosing the outdoor track. But I know it was said that’s not the plan.

 

[Incomudro]

Yeah if only Speed Tunnel meant enclosing the outdoor track. But I know it was said that’s not the plan.

Close the outdoor portion of the track?
That's the best part.

 

[SingleRider]

An option to only enclose it during bad weather would be ideal. But we all know WDW won’t spend the money on that.

 

[James Alucobond]

Close the outdoor portion of the track?
That's the best part.

I don’t mind going outdoors at all, but I dislike the unobstructed backstage views. If they can mitigate that, I’m fine with whatever.

 

[TTA94]

Yeah exactly. Enclose the backstage portion and leave the rest open.

 

[DreamfinderGuy]

Yeah exactly. Enclose the backstage portion and leave the rest open.

Enclosing 90% of the exterior track just to leave the tiny sliver of it that's on stage unenclosed is perhaps the dumbest thing they could do to Test Track. No operational benefit at a significant expense

 

[Sneaky]

SPEED TUNNEL!!!!

WHERE?

 

[Earlie the Pearlie]

Yeah exactly. Enclose the backstage portion and leave the rest open.

Here’s a way Disney could do this and save money: some sort of simple, overhead structure would perform admirably. One that doesn’t cost too much to install, but would do the job of providing coverage. Maybe some sort of tent. Say, even a canopy! It’s too bad they don’t have any big ones they’re not using anymore…







(this is all sarcasm)

Ahh I get it now. They are going old school movie set style. You have 3 layers of background around the track. The foreground, middle ground, and lastly the background aka wall projection. Disney use to use this sort of thing with horizons and world of motion. I guess we may see some of that again. The nature scene photo now makes sense. They will use tree effects for the illusion of zooming through a forest. The close up trees will give the illusion of going a lot faster unlike before where everything was a lot more open thus giving you a clear idea of just how big the distance was. The animated mountain scenes projected on the walls will make it so it all looks like outside when in truth its still inside. They may also use a similar effect on the ceiling to ensure unlike previous versions it feels less like a ride in a gutted building.

I can't wait for more information about the new Test Track 3.0 in D23 This month!

 

[Coaster Lover]

Yeah if only Speed Tunnel meant enclosing the outdoor track. But I know it was said that’s not the plan.

On one hand, having a speed tunnel video effect while you are already traveling 40+ MPH could really enhance the illusion of speed... on the other hand, Test Track is already loud enough on its own, I can only imagine how loud it could be within the tunnel if they were enclosing the fastest portions of the ride.
