Does Test Track need a re-theme?

[ChrisFL]

Using Chevrolet as a sponsor seems so stale as well. The brand is boring. No cachet.

They pay the bills and not many other companies still want to sponsor attractions so....

Yeah it would be nice, but it’s not really necessary. It’s still very popular and it has a sponsor. So long as Chevrolet is giving them money they’re tied to the Test Track theme and there’s really no need to change it up since the wait times are usually over an hour.

It does need something. Agree that RSR is amazing by comparison. The TT2 theming has nothing to do with the track design. The original was far more cool - for it's time. But, things like anti-lock brakes and corrosion resistant door panels are no longer new technology. But - demonstrating those product advances was the purpose of the entire ride. Just slapping Tron theming over the TT1 track is just jarring and doesn't work at all. The whole indoor track needs to be re-designed and the outside track needs to be covered so it doesn't get shut down by lightning.
Also agree that it doesn't need IP - except maybe Cars. But then, how does Cars fit in Epcot? It doesn't.

Actually, the first version of Test Track was more about the history of transportation as I recall and you rode in the typical car on a track like many other amusement park rides. It then changed to the Test Track format and then was again redesigned about 10 yrs ago as others have previously mentioned.

Of course, World of Motion was an EPCOT Center opening day attraction and the first attraction in that building. When Test Track replaced it, the entirety of the World of Motion attraction was removed and Test Track was built.

I think absolutely!! Wreck it Ralph deserves an attraction, Suger Rush would be amazing, keep the car design aspect but change the theme match the cars in the movie. Kids would love to ride on peppermint wheels and Candy cars! Add a few animatronics or maybe a headset like Mario Kart at Universal. I can smell it now, so sweet!!!! What other themes would you suggest??

This is a great idea . I’m trying to think of a better location to keep TT …
how much space would this need considering how they shoehorned whatever that Nintendo attraction is at Hollywood Universal in California? Has anybody walked past RocknRoller Coaster lately ? They put in a temporary Cars attraction back there but I‘ m not sure if that is even Open still . What’s going on with Little Mermaid building and that gift shop ? If you think about it Disney probably has lots of locations that are kinda empty . Or a retheming for the Autopia at MK !

L ast time I saw that parade it was a candy crush character driving it !

If re-themed, does it still fit into Epcot.?

Wait, what fits into Epcot now?

The Car Of Tomorrow.

I just meant like radiator springs wont feel right in Epcot, so it would depend on the theme.
