I actually think test track 1.0 is a better more coherent attraction than 2.0. I’m not a fan of the whole “interactive queue” to build your dream car and the interiors were even lazier than the original. At the least the original looked very industrial like your actually in a GM testing facility The 2.0 version is some vague your IN the computer program that designs cars thing.

neither one is as good as World of Motion though

I am too. I was a big fan of WoM and I also really liked the original test track. Test track 2.0? Not so much. But the idea of combining parts of WoM and the original test track could be amazing. It's all in the hands of the imagineers. I am unfortunately not with you on the care to Tiana's. I don't think it meets what it should have been. That said, I'm sure GM has a lot of say because it's their dime. So I'm hopeful that they do it right. Of course they approved tron track so it's anyone's guess how this goes. But of all the re-dos, this is one I have the most hope for.

Its funny. The one ride that gets the right attention and is still aligned with original Epcot Center is the one ride that still has a sponsor. Maybe Disney Brass should go back to that model for the rest of the current Future World attractions save for GotG. That ride belongs somewhere else.

It's not that Disney isn't trying to find sponsors. It's just large corporations figure they can get more for their buck elsewhere (Internet, streaming, etc.)

If they are, they are not actively pushing it. GotG got done without one. Not sure they pushed it for that one either. SSE redo was going to get done without one before Covid. It seems like if the program is still there they just don't bother to push it because they are fighting evelyrhing you say.
That said, with SSE now covered in LED pucks, a sponsor should be easier to get because they can update their messaging or create mini advertisements easily and connect that to social medial. Not sure why Disney had not capitalized on that for any screen related technology.

I think that would be a bridge too far honestly. I would Disney wouldn’t do that. If the SSE ball started projecting a Nike checkmark I’d be realllllllly disappointed.

I seem to remember G.E. also being projected on the geosphere with lasers at the end of their sponsored night shows.

Worse still was the seven minute long Kodak commercial you had to sit stand through to get into the Magic Eye Theater. Or the Living Seas pre-show that was also just an add for United Technologies.

Nooooooooo. Was this a one time thing? How often did they do sponsored night shows? Did they stop cause people hated it?
