Peak incoming

The chances of outdoor track enclosure are low but never zero.

This part of the announcement was curious to me...
"Enjoy a joy ride through scenes focusing on onboard technology, customization and personalization. Followed by a trip through a scenic outdoor route reminding us all of the joys of driving, taking in the world around us and spending quality time with friends and family."
Umm.... there's NOTHING "scenic" about the backstage parking lots you drive through. So, I've been curious if they might add some show elements in the loop.

Because the scenic outdoor section is the section of concept they showed with the trees indoors.

It will be interesting to see how the acceleration outside will be approached. The previous versions had a device that made it make sense (barrier test, power test), but I’m not sure what the lead up to the doors will be.

Something like "and now, with help from Chevrolet, a GM Company, we race towards the future! " VRRROOOOOOOM!

If F2BF is off the table, please at least return Kimballum to his proper home!

We're going to have a view we haven't had since 1995? 96?

94. They put up the preview center (the original purpose of the canopy) within a few months of WOM closing.

World of Motion did not close until 1996

Going to look so much better when it's all gone

I’ve never even liked the WoM facade that much, but it already looks many times better without the canopy. Hopefully the new entry looks great when complete.

NA NA NA NA, NA NA NA NA….

How much exposition does a ride about cars really need to justify putting the petal to the metal?

Hopefully they come up with some shade.....

God, the canopy might be completely gone by end of the month. Crazy.

WOM closed in 96.

Wow the canopy has been up longer than I’ve been alive… a new experience for me

Driving through a Mountain Pass on I-70 or I-90 and then hitting a flat section and nailing the gas to get rid of the frustration of the truck you were just stuck behind that was going 35 MPH?
