News Test Track to be reimagined

[MM311]

Any chance Guardians goes to Stand-By once Test Track closes?

Now, if they can only make it sound from the outside like they’re actually testing cars and not jets…

 

[Surferboy567]

I’m mostly curious if any part of the track is enclosed. I’ve always loved test track so excited to see what they come up with.

So on one hand this is going to push capacity issues at EPCOT even more while it's closed. On the other hand Test Track is always down so will we see any real difference?

I think it has to, but then we have been saying that it should for a long while now.

They better be playing It’s Fun To Be Free

So happy they're getting rid of the canopy and replacing it with something nicer that doesn't completely block the front of the Transportation building.

Concept art looks great. Good they're getting rid of the awning.

Now if only there were a pavilion in that general vicinity that was open to allow people to "play" in with various interactive forms of entertainment.

Oh Well...

Not since the removal of the wand have I been so happy to see something torn down at Epcot.

 

[DreamfinderGuy]

It wasn't for the track but for the massive looooong lines that were going to be outside for ALL of the traffic the ride would get

It was for that later on, but initially it was just to house the Test Track preview center. It was always intended to be removed before the ride opened, last minute choice to keep it.

No track covering.

Yep, can see it in the concept art. I wasn’t expecting it. Not sure what few were.

 

[Horizons '83]

100% this.

This failed so badly and was removed so soon after debut, my brain has already forgot it happened lol

I never went to Epcot when it was there

If only there was some other pavilion in Future World East to compensate for Test Track's closure.

Maybe something inside, like a big dome, that wouldn't close during a thunderstorm

Maybe a thing with not just one ride, but some shows too, for those that aren't tall enough or get motion sickness

Maybe with something to keep kids active if they want to run off some steam

Something with healthier food options as well

IDK, just throwing it out there...

This just occurred to me, Ford Magic Skyway began with Dinosaurs, perhaps with the closure of countdown we’ll be getting a dinosaur scene on Test Track?

As someone who always skipped the Design Studio portion of TT 2.0, I'll be glad to see it go. I hope that the new version can have a preshow of some sort more akin to the original. That was really fun and they could probably put in some nods to World of Motion in there.

I'm sorry, but a kid on the Internet said Late July because of his source with front line CMs. You're clearly wrong!!!

If it doesn’t come from the lips of the guy who works the dinner shift at the All-Star Sports food court it’s not true!
