EPCOT Test Track to be reimagined

[FiestaFunKid]

Project out the rest of the decade, nothing new coming to Epcot. GotG will be the LL Single Pass forever.

Imagination, Nemo, 3 Cabs, and Mission Space are all aging, not to mention the cancelled SE update. Gotta hope they have something within the above at least in the works by 2029.

Normally I would assume because it’s “new” it would be only boarding groups or LL with no standby.
But, if crowd levels are low enough maybe they will have standby open?

Because it’s Disney, I am assuming it will reopen with no standby, only boarding groups and LL

I don’t know about VQ but last I’d heard, it was set for LLMP.

Just because the screens look better doesn't mean they stopped applying them too much or using them as a crutch above all else. Battle at the Ministry is actually a great example of that, and I think we're in for a bad time at Test Track if it uses half the amount of screens that it does

I guess agree to disagree. It sounds like you don't like BATM, while I found it one of the best rides I've ever been on, while doing a perfect job of implementing screens. I don't think they're used as a crutch on that ride at all, and definitely improve the overall ride. Whereas what I was trying to make with my point: I think in the past it got out of hand and screens were used as a crutch, like you said, but with BATM it is implemented very well.

I’m not saying they will. Just that they could. We can see the cars testing are not going appreciably faster or slower than before.

I have it on good authority that this will be the average speed throughout the attraction for TT 3.0:

"Test Track is a thrilling, high-speed attraction now designed to maximize throughput and revenue-earning opportunities"

 

[HauntedPirate]

It's a 26 year old ride, I would really hope it's not VQ or ILL

Every ride and attraction is viewed through the LL lens now. It will likely have ILL.

Which makes sense. LL is all about attraction demand. And demand will be high regardless of how old the original ride is.

They'll be happy to get another Tier 1 Multi-Pass ride back online.

I would imagine nothing substantial at Epcot till Epcot's 50th. Even that will probably be nothing more than SE or Imagination, if were lucky to get even one out of that.

They're leaving a ton of LL money on the table right now in AK and Epcot. Both parks lack attraction depth, and I'm shocked we're not seeing more to flesh both out. There's no value in the Multi-Pass at AK (we'll see if Tropical Americas changes that!), and only minimal at Epcot. A new Test Track is great, but it was always popular. Would love to see some weight shifted to the West side of the park.

Imagine a roller coaster through the aquaculture room in The Land. All to the thrilling beat of a 4*Town hit!

Definitely will look at it with a LL lense but doesn't mean ILL. Adding it as a tier 1 LLMP adds more value there and let's them increase the price of LLMP/sell more of them

I just can see Epcot having two ILL rides and can't see them moving it from Guardians to TT

Robért's my favorite. He speaks French!!

Test Track has been part of the Lightning Lane system for years and was never an ILL offering before.

But now it's "new."

 

[WDWBryan]

I can't see them using VQ for this but could be wrong. I think most of us saw the VQ as the last free option. Dissuading the need to buy LL if VQ is offered. This ride also has a single rider line. Would they keep it closed or would it be a mess with everyone trying to use it who don't have a VQ

 

[ToTBellHop]

But now it's "new."

So was TBA.

 

[Mr. Sullivan]

So was TBA.

I think this is a bit of a different scenario though. I do actually consider TBA a completely new ride because its a completely new experience just reusing an existing and system. This is still Test Track. It’s just a new version of it.

Right. And neither will have ILL.

 

[Mr. Sullivan]

Right. And neither will have ILL.

Oh I agree with you! I was just saying that of the two, TBA would’ve been more likely and TT is an absolute no.

 

[FigmentFan82]

If screens are implemented well then I have no issue with it. Like others have said, there kind of wasn’t too much there to begin with anyway so filling in the space will be good

A proper redo of Spaceship Earth’s decent would be wonderful for Epcot’s 50th.

Get on that, WDI.


Regarding Test Track 3.0, interested to see what the ride experience will entail.
I was a fan of 2.0, and disliked the original.

Hoping for a postive blend of all the features most enjoyed with the prior experiences along with the rumoured ‘retro twist’.

We shall see…
