Since I used to work at test track I'm super interested in the re-do.

Heres a new pov!

I have to say they really needed to do something else to the track in my opinion. The rooms with the hot and cold air seemed to be transformed into just like every other Disney ride... where it seems to be all about the scenery and education, not the feel of the ride-- that I think Universal does a MUCH better job at.

Disney, stop making rides have all these slow boring parts that are unexciting. Every ride is turning into a tour and not a ride. ..And for all you soarin' fans.... soarin' sucks, Idk what kind of person would wait 20 minutes for it.

BUT I'm super competitive though and I love the idea of having the rankings of each person in the car, that's awesome and I would really get into that.

I just hope the smell hasn't changed because I love that old test track smell.

Anyone else like the old test track better?.. based on the video of course

I rode it today. I hate the new version. The stupid tron lighting gets old after the first room.

Looks stupid. The old version was better. What exactly is this supposed to simulate in this new version. The old version a test center for cars. This new one is just some dumb tron thing with stupid hollywood beeping computer noises which bug the crap out of me that they think thats what computers sound like.

"Scanning simcar for optimal eco-efficiency..."
Oh wow that adds a lot to the ride. It's so much fun to ride into a green room where nothing happens and then ride out with a computer that says your car makes Greenpeace only pester you once a year versus once a day.

I actually like the overall style with it, but they should have added way more depth to it. The car needs to have more action parts... it needs to be a performance test. And for the non-performance parts, it should be a nice effect like the dry/cold rooms on the old one. Seriously - an eco-efficiency room? What does this add? Time.

Yeah, seriously, I thought it was garbage. RIP old test track. They took all of the cool stuff out and added nothing.

Having watched videos of both the old and new i'd definitely ride the old. It seems more... complete? as a theme.
