Yeah, I know it sounds fishy.Well, that is certainly one take
Tuna can you say?

I agree. Pretty disappointing that they are "reaching into the past" for inspiration.
I certainly hope so...Did you ever ride World of Motion?
Both buildings are themed, guest-facing structures. I consider that pretty equivalent.So wait, your comparison is about something blocking the view of a ride building, and having zero effect on the actual ride itself, Vs. something blocking the view of the castle, the main purpose of which is to be viewed, have pictures taken in front of, and view projection mapped shows during fire works? You think there anywhere close to an equivalency there?
Which goes to the main point Alya and I have been making. Even opinions/thoughts need to have some context. I like a certain type of ketcup, and Disney doesn't offer that type in the park. It bothers me (likely more than it should) but i would never bring it up and complaint about it on a board because its unique to me, and such a minor thing, that its just not worth discussion. I am not saying people aren't free to discuss what they want, and of course i can always just scroll right by, but its still just nick picking about irrelevant things.
One building the outside of the structure is almost the point of the structure. The other is simply a box where the ride is located. To me they are very different things.Both buildings are themed, guest-facing structures. I consider that pretty equivalent.
Here, lets take the Haunted Mansion and say we slapped a big fat canopy over the entrance to the point it blocked 75% of the mansion facade. Would you like that? It has zero effect on the ride itself, but that doesn't make it visually pleasing.
I could do this all day with other attractions. If you're going to have some covering over the front entrance, it needs to be themed and a permanent installation. The canopy at Test Track was simply just a cover for display GM cars and a big poster while test track was built.
This 90's concept art shows more of what the attraction should have always looked like:

As for those "irrelevent" things, taking time to address those "irrelevent" aspects is what elevates Disney above Six Flags. For example, you could argue that area music is irrelevent to park operations, but having seriously plusses the experience.
The only reason I would be so nitpicky over something simple like this is 1. I really want these parks to look the best they possibly can, and 2. There has been to much disregard for the "irrelevant" things in some areas lately in my honest opinion.
Nope. My first visit to WDW was in 2005. I see WoM closed in 1996.Did you ever ride World of Motion?
I couldn't agree more. World of Motion was definitely the least architecturally successful building at Epcot until maybe the Festival Center.Might as well add my hot take:
I don't care about the canopy.
Because I never cared for the building's architecture and aesthetic.
Yes, I recognize that there was architectural intent in order to portray a theme. I see that.
I just don't think they did it well, or even pleasing to look at.
From across the lagoon, WoM looks like a tuna can without the paper label.
Round, shiny, and cylindrical. That's "motion"? Maybe part way there by being round.
But 'part way' doesn't make me love it. So, canopize away!!
But what do I know? I'm just a pixie dusting shill who defends everything Disney does.
I'd say a chance for sure. With this being a sponsor funded project, they tend to have their ducks in a row ahead of time and move faster IMHO because no business is going to drop millions of dollars on an attraction update if they don't.Looks likely my family will be making our return to WDW during mid-July of next summer...any chances this is open by then?
I totally get what you’re saying and all but this is a funny quote considering we’re talking about Test Track, the sponsored attraction that was delayed by two years originallyI'd say a chance for sure. With this being a sponsor funded project, they tend to have their ducks in a row ahead of time and move faster IMHO because no business is going to drop millions of dollars on an attraction update if they don't.
Counterpoint: the canopy is objectively ugly. Even if you don’t care for the base building, at worst it’s still fine looking.Might as well add my hot take:
