Looking at the new videos of Test Track 2.0 is a better ride than the original Test Track, but World of Motion was fantastic. I know it cost lots to build rides with audio-animatronics, but that was the artistry missing in much of the newer rides. That is for another discussion. is it better? it is a completely different experience.

I think they changed it for the better because who doesn't like Test Track?!

Honestly, don't hate me, but it was a one and done for me. (But then almost everybody feels that way about one ride or another.) That just means one less person in line for you. World of Motion was a classic.

I didn't hate Test Track 1.0, simply as a ride... I probably will like 2.0 better for the Tron-like setting... But "for the better" is a matter of perspective... Test Track is extremely shallow in comparison. It doesn't teach anything about the history of transportation... It doesn't have a pulse... It was the combination learning, comedy and a catchy tune — "It's fun to be free"• that gave the whole thing life! And, at the risk of being repetitive (http://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/what-should-not-have-been-replaced.29964/page-5#post-5533559), it isn't as good a fit in "EPCOT", as originally conceived.
TT is more thrilling than WoM. Sadly, that makes it better to most of the people walking through the front gates.

World of Motion was fine, but at the end of the day it was one more mammoth dark ride when Epoct already had too many.
Test Track gave Epcot something it was lacking and arguably has more re-ridability.
I do miss World of Motion's post-show though, particularly "The Water Engine".

That would've been a great idea! Kind of like the "The Land/Soarin'" combination... Keep a bit of the old with a bit of the new. If they couldn't fit it in the same building, it would've been easy to make additions to make the two work.

I sorta disagree, I don't think there is a such thing as too many darkrides (magic Kingdom for instance). Darkrides are special because its one thing disney has that so few other places have. Universal, Sea World, Busch gardens, don't really have more than one or two if any. Six flags has like three in all of its parks combined. Theres a bunch of corney old ones scattered about but their cheap and in disrepair.
