If you don't you get 20 demerits. 5 more and you can't go to WDW...........EVER
Would you have kept the concept and updated the movies or did it have enough charm to continue running as is?
I think they could have updated it. The Alien scene I always thought was out of place and could have been updated to a more popular movie series or genre.
At least Alien kind of looked cool in a classic way. I'm not the biggest fan of the movies either, but it was a good part of the ride IMO. Tarzan was way worse and they did Fantasia no justice.
The removal of Test Track 1.0 was a travesty in many bad decisions for EPCOT.This is so hard, but if we're only counting rides:
10. Living with the Land
9. Peoplemover
8. Cosmic Rewind
7. Test Track 1.0
6. Toy Story Mania
5. Runaway Railway
4. Dinosaur
3. Flight of Passage
2. Big Thunder Mountain
1. Space Mountain
*If all of the Rise of the Resistance effects worked consistently, I would probably put it at number 9 and Living with the Land would be bumped to honorable mention.
They did Fantasia no justice because that scene was never supposed to be for Fantasia. It was meant to be the twister that brings Dorothy (and the riders) to OZ. I don’t remember the specifics of why it happened, I think MGM had an issue with how much time was spent on their property but I absolutely might be mistaken. Regardless they had built a circular room already with a funnel in the middle with a screen built into it and needed to put something there.
Ah yes, I remember reading that.
Highly disagree, it was completely out of date and had horrible ugly industrial aesthetics from the 90s that looked like Innoventions circa 94-99.
The concept was infinitely better; learning about how cars worked was on theme for EPCOT. That could have been updated with newer models and features over time. The fact it was out of date was Disney's fault, as usual.
No, designing a concept vehicle and learning from actual car designers how it works was the superior experience. The aesthetic of a 90s mechanic shop was ugly.
In its day I enjoyed TT 1.0 a lot. It wasn’t until about 2008 I started noticing how dated it felt. The narration and the temperature rooms i will give you. The abs test was just a warehouse with a few cones. The darkness of 2.0 and cutting the rooms so you can’t see the track and whole first test added to make it more intimate and also the illusion that you were going to go straight with the yellow outline and then surprising you by skidding off worked better than seeing the clear zig zagged track right infront of you.
Completely disagree. You must think the queue is the ride because nearly everything you're talking about is pre-ride. Most of what exists on ride has almost no connection to what you did in the queue. It also is repetitive and boring after designing 1-2 cars.
No i completely disagree, see my post above. The horrible warehouse aesthetics were completely covered, the track wasn’t completely visible the whole time, the future city, better use of the plain cardboard trees, etc.
As do I, see my post. I've ridden both so many times, I can't count. Test Track 2.0 is horrible.
