I have to ask: what keeps GM/Chevy coming back to Epcot? The parks have lost a lot of sponsors over the years, but what is it about GM/Chevy that keeps them coming back?

The pres is on the Disney board, and I think that showroom is big for them displaying product.

They must have guests who actually look at the display Chevys after the ride and they have statistics of guests or people by word of mouth buying their cars.

I’d love to know those statistics. Not a GM person myself (Ford), so I’ve never stopped to discuss a vehicle with the sales team at the end.

I gotta say this is really the only project I’m looking forward to right now, after being underwhelmed by the final product of TBA I need them to give us a solid win. I’m really hoping for some 1:1 recreations of some of the vignettes from WoM, and if not then some whimsical set dressing in the same vein as those vignettes. The forested section of the track is a welcome addition but I’m hoping that’s just a singular stretch of track. Hopefully that’s just because the concept art was an early rendition of a “TT with physical sets”, and less of a literal translation to the final product. Whatever it ends up being I’m more confident this will be an upgrade from the previous 2 iterations, the stakes are much lower here

I still maintain that people will be extremely happy with this refurb. Three days left til it closes folks!

Any idea if AAs will be part of it?

Test Track Adventure,,,I joke but it's the only word Disney likes using anymore.

Test track: rise of the forbidden expedition adventure

We just need some more physical sets. 1.0 was super dated by the end of its run, but the sets it had were a lot of fun even near the end. My biggest gripe of 2.0 is there’s nothing to look at besides some funky blue lighting

That's a cute name ngl. I love it.

In regards to sets/AAs: sets will be more intricate than 2.0, no word on AAs.

At least with Test Track temporarily closed, the diners in Space 220 don't have to listen to the roar of Test Track cars going by every 30 seconds!!!!

Wait can they actually hear it inside?! That seems like a big immersion-breaking blunder

I couldn’t but honestly I was really focused on determining why my server vanished.

GM lounge reportedly had it's last today before refurb.

That's not TT it's the space ship's servo rockets firing to keep it in position, how would you ever hear an Epcot attraction in space? Sound abhors a vacuum.....

 

[Mickeynerd17]

What are the odds GM gets a temporary lounge space during the refurb?? My guess would be the SSE lounge.

It was a joke. A dubious “insider” claimed it was a problem before the exterior walls were even finished.

This is quite literally going to be what I track next because it’s Test Track.
