i went to epcot a few weeks ago to ride test track and you should of seen my face when i walked up to the ride baord and it said it was closed. I asked the CM and he said it was indeed aclosed and he had no idea when it would be back up. so, i walked right over to it, and low and behold, it was OPEN and i walked RIGHT ON. the only 'wait' was when we were watching the pre-baording video.
i do agree however that there should be MORE outside and LESS inside, or if you are going to have the same amount of inside/outside then make the inside at least a little more adventourous. like... so you arent going SUPER SLOW down the hilly parts... a little speed would be nice!
