News Test Track to be reimagined

[Joel]

So, what's the over/under on the "design your vehicle" aspect returning? If anything, I'd love to see it removed (or pushed completely to MDE) just to give more interior queue space and the option for a more interesting interior queue...

In the new version, you won't be designing cars -- you'll be building them! It's straight to the assembly line of this actual GM plant for you! Get on the ride faster by meeting your quota!

I hope that the design portion doesn’t return. It became my least favorite portion of the ride with the whole bottleneck once you left the design room. I would almost rather have the space become switchbacks.

We did have fun designing cars and came up with some crazy designs over the years. I will not miss it, though.

Yeah it was fun the first few times but it definitely overstayed its welcome.

I know it's not THE WoM font but, DAMN that looks similar.

They are using 'temporarily' pretty fast and loose.

 

[dreamfinding]

It is! It's just the color choice and the font is making my lizard brain go "yes... it's like the ride I never experienced and closed 9 years before I was born"

God, I experience lizard brain syndrome so much

That new logo on the walls looks AWESOME

Does it though.....?

Looks all of the same to me.

Unfortunately, it isn't the new EPCOT font. Which is a missed opportunity. I liked the uniformity of the attraction marquees from days past.

 

[EagleScout610]

I wonder if the cast got to ride last night.

 

[TrainsOfDisney]

So how much is a sponsorship like this where you actually get to move Disney to do something thematically appropriate for the park?

Maybe we could get together and sponsor the Imagination pavilion!?

Now's the (perfect) time to take GOTG off the virtual queue.

Most guests (including me) would just ride Test Track (single rider no wait!) nearby while waiting for our BG to be called. But now that isn't an option anymore..

 

[EagleScout610]

Was TT holding crowds that well? Yesterday, which was a Sunday, had Soarin' at only 20 for most of the day and Figment around 10.

See, that would be a good call. That is simply too much to ask of operations.

I will be elated if that sticks around. I don’t think it will, so I’m waiting for the program to leak.

 

[James Alucobond]

Would’ve been really nice to have a functioning thing in the WoL space right about now.

 

[Vinnie Mac]

Shocked to see how many people weren't really rocking with the create a car thing. I really loved that part and it makes me sad that it might be going away

 

[The Leader of the Club]

The create a car thing was also a pretty solid revenue source. I worked the TT shop during my CP and we would always have a fairly steady stream of guests purchasing the cards.

I would have liked it more if each member of my party could design their own car. We were always grouped together on the same number so it didn’t become a competition for us. Yeah, we could have used the design kiosk in the post show but I always forgot about that.

Over in the DAS thread, Len just posted that Sunday is the slowest day and Monday is the 2nd highest day - on average - in the month of June. I think those numbers were specific to MK but probably work for all the resort to an extent.

Epcot is cooked if the higher wait times are truly due to the closure of TT.

I mean, it doesn’t help that Spaceship Earth has been down all morning, the entire Land pavilion has been closed for a bit for some reason, and it’s an extended evening hours day.
