News Test Track to be reimagined

[Disgruntled Walt]

I think (hope) this TT work is just glorified redecorating and the ride system/vehicles/track will stay the same.

That line about a "leisurely outdoor drive" was the only thing that gave me any pause about whether the fast part would stay. But they'd be nuts to change that.

I will never not think that Tiana as it happened in our universe was doomed from the start by multiple factors. But i do get what you intended to say about downtime. I worry slightly too.

It's a reocurring trend with new attractions. Frozen Ever After & Rise of the Resistance also experienced significant downtime when the opened, so much so for Rise that they introduced the Virtual Queue. Hopefully Test Track won't face a similar downtime when it ropens, except for the obvious weather

Well the definition of “leisurely” to some could be driving high speeds. Lol.

Pretty much need speed with the banking

As fast as we drive today, I feel like a 65 mph drive is pretty leisurely!

Yknow, I think new versions of attractions “inspired” by the originals is better than actually getting the originals back. For as cool and nostalgic it would be, it kidna would be a step back, unless updated somehow. Whats gone is gone forever. Im more rooting for a spiritu successor for horizons and gmr someday. A quote I saw somewhere perfectly encapsulates my feelings on the desire to bring a ton of defunct Epcot back: ““deep down people dont really want the same thing from the past again, they really want new things that made them feel the same sense of wonder the original things did”

Disclaimer: classic Epcot is Cool , and I LOVE all the defunct rides dearly.

Well put! I miss that sense of awe

The older you get the harder it is to feel awe in something.

Again, they were referencing the part shown in the concept art aka the former hill climb test section.

That's why its' so rewarding to experience these things with kids.

What do you mean, again? When did Disney ever explain what they were referring to? Must there always be snark?

We once were out on the banking during a 10 minute ride stoppage. Leaning at that angle was not exactly comfortable and wouldn't be much better if moving slowly.

Ultimate Disney experience is to visit what you love and see a first timers reactions, kids are full of wonder

Probably our best trip was our second trip.
Our first trip, our sons were six - and though it was great - they didn't meet the height restrictions for many rides.
The following year we all did Everest, Dinosaur, RnR, ToT, Test Track...
And the best part was none of us knew the rides (well I had been on ToT years before) or ride systems ahead of time.
We were all experiencing them for the first time.
I remember all of us gazing up at Everest as the cars traversed the gap wondering "Can we do this?"
Waiting in the queue for Aerosmith and watching the launches - "Are we up for this?"
I remember my sons and I running up to the entrance of Test Track as the cars whizzed by.
They were so excited at that sight and sound!

Exactly why I avoid spoilers for new rides. The first time you experience something when you don't know what to expect is always the best way to experience it. I realize there is an accidental double entendre in my comment.

My problem with this is that I only go to Disney every other year and being an active participant in this forum it's hard for me to wait until I see a ride in person.

This is what I will experience with my 8, 6, 4, and 3 yr old niece and nephews next summer. I can't wait. And I haven't been to WDW since 2017, so there's a lot of new stuff for me, too!

That pattern of attendance does have its advantages over more frequent visits. You miss lots of the interstitial drama between announcement and realization as well as a plethora of walls.

Next you are going to want me to walk through the Germany pavilion without going into Karamell-Küche.
