They also showed very little of the ride path, so even if this is current it could be in a scene that just hasn't had much work done to it yet. There could be fully finished scenes by now for all we know (though I doubt it)
Something something Epcot community college joke
It sounds to me like this new version of the ride is going to be just a modern "World of Motion", and it also sounds like the entire outdoor portion is now going to be a show scene. No more closing during bad weather!
It says it will be outdoors still
Well, she did say she is a set designer, so she likely isn't doing the actual construction but brought in to make a video to remind people this is still happening. If she worked on Aulani which opened in 2011, she must have progressed through WDI over the last 10+ years.
But in all seriousness, I don't know what the point of that video was. Show us a couple of decent bits from the inside, not just a random WDI person being highlighted walking down the up-ramp after load.
WDI has been posting videos about the background of their imagineers more recently. That was probably more of the focus than actually showing the ride (since it looks like there’s not much to show in the building anyway)Well, I, for one, am glad to have the video reminder that this project was still happening. The construction outside didn't give any clues.
Show set designers don’t do fabrication or installation. By and large it is not an on-site role and when it is, it is in a supervisory capacity. Stock images of architects on site will still show them in a tie because 20th century architects would wear a suit to site visits. The design team is not the construction team; they’re different roles with different responsibilities.
why did this feel unnecessarily mean lol
Probably because it’s the only ride recently announced that isn’t replacing anything beloved
Don't forget 'wrong'.
Unless there is quite literally another queue after the pre-show that you still have to wait in... Test Track and ToT would be those (especially if a side of ToT breaks down or if there's weather delays in Test Track)...
I wouldn't say Test Track isn't beloved... For me, personally, it's the only ride I can remember that took forever for me to be tall enough to ride when I was a little kid. Getting to finally ride it after watching my father and sister ride it so many times is a core memory for me. And the ride as an attractions itself (test dummy version) is a favorite of mine.
because half the people here are unnecessarily mean and needlessly rude because “I miss old Disney”
I’m more talking about 2.0 Test track 1.0 was certainly beloved. But it’s harder to make the argument that 2.0 was as beloved as 1.0 and other Disney attractions considering how mixed its reception was. I have a lot of nostalgia for it since it was the ride that got me into Epcot as much as I am now, but the amount of people who feel the same way is very small.
Superior version that fit Epcot more
