Should make a larger version and put it in the loop outside as you zoom around.

There really should have been an exterior show set on the loop rather than a cast member parking lot and backstage views.... A giant city of the future model filling that whole outdoor loop would be so cool... then instead of a crash they could be launching you into the future... which would be a great wow moment...not just for the speed.....

VR or the augmented reality visors like they use for the Mario Kart attraction?

And how about... Enclosing it so it doesn't have to close every 30 seconds in the summer?

That is not a bad idea either....And they need to be practical sets, not VR glasses or projections... Build an amazing model....a fantastic futuristic cityscape that we fly through in our electric vehicle of the Future... I am tired of everything being based in the present... Give me something optimistic and hopeful about the future to dream about...And how about... Enclosing it so it doesn't have to close every 30 seconds in the summer?

heads up this was from one of my "blood on the saddle" leakers. so, PHEW this is a bullet dodged
OH THANK GOD. At least that wasn’t true. Oh how I wanted blood to be true…
What about that figment budget rumor? Was that from a “blood on the saddle” leaker?

Nah, it's a source I'm keeping tabs on.
I wonder if they misheard Figment budget and it's actually the budget for IO in ME....
15-30 million for the magic eye? Holy MONEY! Is the mishearing thing a resonable assumption?

Well that amount is certainly too little for a ride redo in 2024 money. It does make sense for a theater show.
If they use it, I hope it's reorchestrated. The old timey original recordings were, IMO, awful with 1950s style close-harmony advertising jingle sound with a heap of musical gimmicks.
Modern Disney has mostly done a great job with orchestrating music (the Princess and Frog hot-mess during Harmonious being the big exception). So, it's possible for it to turn out really good if they get the right people on it.
New song for the new Test Track!!!...
What can it be that calls me to this place today?
This lawless car ballet, what can it be?
Am I a baby pigeon sprouting wings to soar?
Was that a metaphor?
Hey, there's a Dollar Store!
Look! I'm rhyming; my spirit's climbing
As I'm called through this fog of mace
To this place called Slaughter Race
Welcome back, watch your head
Hate to see you end up dead
Let's get this party rollin'
Is that appliance stolen?
We have...
Fallen wires
Dumpster fires
Creepy clowns
And burning tires
That great white in the sewer
You'll be happy that you knew her
Dogs and cats, they sure taste great
With a side of license plate
Some find us deplorable
Well, I think you're adorable
We may be a motley crew
But our hearts ring true
And just for you: a face tattoo!
(Oh, oh, oh, Slaughter Race, oh, oh, oh)
My heart's in flight, and, wow, it's a blast
Feels like my dreams are real at last
No trace of a frown upon your face
Flying so fast
Setting the pace
Livin' the life
Loving the chase
Now is the time
Here is the place
This Slaughter Race!
I know I should go
But home feels so slow
These roads are paved with dreams
(Happy dreams, not creepy clown dreams)
What would Ralph say
If it turns out I stayed
In this place called Slaughter Race?

I doubt they're going to just install a version they already made for World of Motion. It'll be a new rendition. They didn't even recycle the original One Little Spark when putting it back in Journey into Imagination.
::mentally prepares for torrent of hateful replies::
I personally would like to see something upbeat, optimistic, and high energy— not exactly Mickey’s Mix Magic, but something similar that makes you want to dance along the way you would in a car when you’re on a road trip with friends and your favorite tune comes on.

They might mostly do a good job with 3.0 but they can’t resist the urge to throw something in that will get under the Epcot die hards skin
.So, full disclosure, I was an EPCOT purist furious about the decision to replace the iconic Maelstrom with FEA… and I am still a little sad about it TBH…but I had to decide if I was going to be flexible and continue to enjoy EPCOT (my favorite park worldwide) or fixate on the changes I have no control over. I am an enthusiastic enjoyer of Cosmic Rewind but might not be if Frozen and Ratatouille hadn’t broken my spirit.They might mostly do a good job with 3.0 but they can’t resist the urge to throw something in that will get under the Epcot die hards skin
I also am a DLR local and didn’t get to visit Epcot much before 2004, so I’m not actually familiar with the original attraction song…but I did listen to recordings of it and it’s hard for me to imagine that most people (or GM’s marketing team) actually want the versions I’ve heard as is?
The revamped jingle will be a medley with Whole New World.They might mostly do a good job with 3.0 but they can’t resist the urge to throw something in that will get under the Epcot die hards skin
