EPCOT Test Track to be reimagined

The chances of outdoor track enclosure are low but never zero.

I imagine it's staging for things they're moving into the building from that point so that they're not setting materials directly on the track.

That would be less down time in the rain. I'm all for it

way out of budget but imagine a massive indoor section with a model of Epcot in the middle of the loop made to look like its really far away

Maybe the canopy will be redeployed over the outdoor section!!

That'd go a long way in keeping the ride going in Thunder 1 conditions..

They should inclose it. Then they can use screens to make it look like you are driving fast through different areas. Maybe a track, or just change up the video for different parts of the country.

According to the concept art, the outdoor sections will not be enclosed.

Site which cannot be named is showing the center part of the canopy down.

Those images made me gasp and squeal with joy. I'm so happy.

This part of the announcement was curious to me...
"Enjoy a joy ride through scenes focusing on onboard technology, customization and personalization. Followed by a trip through a scenic outdoor route reminding us all of the joys of driving, taking in the world around us and spending quality time with friends and family."
Umm.... there's NOTHING "scenic" about the backstage parking lots you drive through. So, I've been curious if they might add some show elements in the loop.

Because the scenic outdoor section is the section of concept they showed with the trees indoors.

It will be interesting to see how the acceleration outside will be approached. The previous versions had a device that made it make sense (barrier test, power test), but I’m not sure what the lead up to the doors will be.

Something like "and now, with help from Chevrolet, a GM Company, we race towards the future! " VRRROOOOOOOM!

If F2BF is off the table, please at least return Kimballum to his proper home!
