As a General Motors employee, one of my favorite perks we get comes from our close relationship with Disney. We sponsor Test Track and our CEO sits on the Disney board. We basically get VIP treatment at Test Track if we show our employee ID and we get really nice discounts on park tickets. LOVE IT!
I thought Chevrolet sponsors test track tho?
@@lifeisshrt7929 Chevrolet is owned by General Motors. Our brands are Chevrolet, Buick, GMC & Cadillac.
@@lifeisshrt7929 omg pls do not tell me your this dumb
@@lifeisshrt7929GM sponsors test track with there chevy brand
I'm happy that the tent is going, definitely gives that bit of "World Of Motion" originality again.
agree, love the new concept.. Just one thing, I 'd hope they would incorporate a liltte bit of that original ORANGE colour theme in it, as well .. ;-) Otherwise GREAT!!
ITS FUN TO BE FREE!!!!!!!!!
I’m excited but worried about this. The current version of test track is very underwhelming compared to the original. Test track 1.0 was my favorite ride at Disney growing up and it was a large part of what made me a fan of Disney parks in the first place. I hope test track 3.0 is more like the original and less like what we have now
I think it will be amazing. History of automobiles again, probably with a futuristic EV segment about the future of the car. Very much in the spirit of Epcot.
The goal is to move forward not backwards. The update will be nothing like version 1.0 which in my opinion was the worst version so far. Hopefully more show scenes and some easter eggs from World of Motion.
1.0 was my favorite as well!
It's using the World Of Motion
I believe in one of the announcements they said they are paying homage to the World of Motion as well. Out of any of the recent EPCOT updates, this is the only one that actually is “EPCOT”
Love seeing happy, optimistic Brayden. Love even more that Disney is giving us something to be happy and optimistic about!
Negative videos get more views though. I’m sure it will be coming soon
Until he finds out it reopens with a virtual queue only or you can of course LL your way onto it...
Disney isn't giving us this. A corporate sponsor is. Otherwise boob Iger would be putting more duct tape on it and calling it brand new.
This ride needs to be faster than my Uber drive on I-4!!!
There's a hell of a lot of positivity and excitement coming from Brayden in this one lol. Cheers!
Positive Brayden is infectious, you can't help but get excited with him. With the negative stuff, he's just being real and he has good range in his reporting, but yeah its great to see him excited about something.
I would like to see them ditch the design your car, and bring back some World of Motion vibes and make the queue and indoor portion of the ride more about history of transportation and how it advanced over time before the high speed loop.
I agree this wastes too much time, but my kids did love it.
i'd also be happy if the design your car actually did something intresting
design your car thing is boring and just slows the line down even more
I was saying this to my mom the other day. you can keep the exact layout but each "slower" portion of the ride is a different important era in automotive history ending with the speed test scene where on either side is concept art of what could be in the future. then you do the launch and exit the ride where the show floor has models of the vehicles you just saw concept art for.
And you would be wrong
One of the few remaining attraction updates that doesnt involve some generic disney movie theme. This is great
I’m more excited for this than anything else Disney announced- or what is rumored!
And yes, bring back Bill and the Preshow from the original!
This is one of the rare, and i mean RARE, Disney announcements that I'm actually happy about. Im cautiously excited about this one. If done properly, meaning like classic Disney and not current Disney, this can be incredible! Im not getting my hopes up until i ride it myself because I DO NOT trust modern Disney at all though.
Glad the canopy is going. Still missing the fountain of Nations.
true, that would be the next thing needed to be fixed, asap..
"BuT bRaYdEN yOu SaId tHeRE wOuLD bE nO wAlLs!!!" 😂😂
Hopefully they bring back “It’s fun to be free” as the theme song
cant wait to ride on the cybertruck!
Please get rid of that design car crap. Bring back the test dummies!
I agree, it is just a que time waster.
Can’t let Walcot lose its name!!
I hope Disney will add on elements of world of motion
This is so cool. Cant wait to ride this version when it opens😊.
I Love the look of the outside Test Track update. I would love it if the inside brought back some of the "story" the World of Motion and Test track 1.0 had. the current version is just a cool ride, the theming and story are so reliant on the tech working (which it rarely is), that it is not that enticing. I still love the ride, it is a really fun ride system.
They need to bring back the awesome music from World of Motion: It's fun to be free!
Mind boggling the only way we get something “new” are re-themes while Universal sits back and laughs. 🤦🏻♂️
Impressive. Definitely will be looking forward to future updates. Not often do I get to say that about anything Disney related anymore
I felt test track 2.0 was a huge downgrade over the original. Here’s hoping this is a move in the right direction!
Braden, are they covering the outdoor portion of the high-speed loop, so that this can run in inclement weather?
It makes a lot of sense that GM wants to change it to something greener and in line with World of Motion to promote their EVs. GM is creating one of the largest EV lineups in the world so they want to promote that to get people to buy them
This is the only current Disney refurbishment that I am totally on board with so far. I'm glad that the Country Bears are getting new animatronics, but sad about the old songs being removed. I'm happy about the refresh of the Haunted Mansion queue at Disneyland, but worried about the size and style of the exit gift shop. I'm happy that New Orleans Square is expanding at Disneyland, but upset that they're not giving Tiana's the exterior that was shown in the concept art. So at least there's Test Track to keep my spirits up! 😊
Yes I’m ready. Needed an update big time and I’m excited for what it’ll look like!
I'm doing my first solo trip in Sept, so I'll guess I'll miss it. Darn.
I still miss original world of motion...so much more creative than just a ride...thanks for great update
I'm trying to remember here- and my brain is telling me something illogical. Did they actually tear out the whole communicore East and West and then basically put them back? And that was 4 years?
Only west, but yes.
I'm very excited for TT 3.0! The canopy being removed from the exterior, as well as the other exterior updates, make the entrance look fantastic! I like the ride vehicles and the theming.
All of these improvements seem well-worth the wait. Thanks for bringing this update, Brayden!
Great vlog, full of fabulous information. Thank you.
You’re spoiling us! Thank you for the great videos Brayden.
I was lucky enough to go to Epcot in the mid 80s when I was a kid after it opened and it was epic. It made a lasting impression on me. And I remember test track being so cool.
I loved the original version of Test Track. Excited for the new updated.
As always, Brayden is the best!!
Brayden, great job as always. Thank You!!
I love the original test track!!! Bring that back!
Exciting! BUT, if test track can get a sponsor, there isn’t ONE tech company that’s willing to sponsor their wares at the Imagination Pavilion? Why isn’t Disney shmoozing them! Walt knew how to talk a company into a good deal!
Can you smell that pixie dusters !!??? It's 7 years of walls for underpar performance of Test Track 3.0. 😂😂😂
Excited!!!
I'm stoked! I was so worried they would try to retheme this to Cars or something. I'm glad GM sees Chevy as the IP for this and kept up the funding.
Boob Iger will take credit for this but the only reason it's getting done and this kind of money is being spent on it is because it's sponsorship money outside of Disney paying for it.
I was coming to say this same exact thing!
I came here to say the same exact thing!
As usual Brayden - full and comprehensive Disney news that is second to none.
Something to think about - Marry Barra, CEO of General Motors, sits of the Disney board. Wonder if her presence has any influence on how this ride is turning out as it seems to be a lot better than stuff Disney has done lately especially things like Journey of Water.
Glad I am going before it closes
I would hope that this closure would prompt them to remove the virtual queue on Cosmic Rewind
ACTUALLY SAD TO SEE TEST TRACK 2.0 GO!
Ugh I’m going in September i guess i gotta wait a few more years to ride again, im bringing a friend for their first visit looks like they’ll have to wait 😢
Looking forward to this update. I loved v 1, but not sure how much of that is nostalgia since it was during my first visit to WDW or if it was that much better, but it was fun. Im happy to see world of motion mentioned as an inspiration though as it's moving forward while paying homage to it's beginning. It overall looks much better so far in the concept art as you explained it.
I just hope it'll be ready by October 2025! That's when my dad's first trip ever will be. Really excited, such a fun ride. Love the new vehicle look.
so I hope this project will only take up to a year max because I love test track I always get excited when I go on my Disney trips to ride that ride, so I’m kind of sad that it will be closed when I come
I’m very excited about this update for the ride. Omg imagine if the original pre show returned.
I read somewhere that the entire track will be covered to remove rain delays. That's a major improvement if accurate.
Does this mean we might get a hybrid of Test Track and World of Motion with the returns of animatronics?
I like modernization and “progress” for Disney most of the time. Makes sense and was always part of Walt’s vision. I do wish however they gave more nods to the heritage of those rides (like WOM) for the long time loyalists.
I’m so glad the reworking is really happening. Test Track 2.0 was absolutely atrocious. The new entrance looks particularly good.
I'm concerned about the wait times for the reason of the park during summer season. I understand the contract but Epcot needs new attractions 😢
At least they aren't planning to close an entire land for years like they are at Animal Kingdom.
I’m actually excited for this one.
Oh no! Were there in August. My kids will be distraught.
I hope the DESIGN YOUR CAR is still available!!! Its my favorite.
You know it’s not good when you spend over $1 billion on a theme park upgrades and all you have to show for it is some water features that stop working a few months falter opening. Now shut TT down for a year. You just turned Epcot into a 1/2 day park like AK and HS. Nice job Bob. How about doing something with that nice gold pavilion near Test Track. You know it had 2 attractions in it. Maybe get something new in there.
Trash take
Exactly. Too many linear thinkers not realizing that EPCOT NEEDS crowd eating shows and attractions. A new show in Imagination Theatre at the least.
Oh great, I’ve been trying to go back to ride test track as my favorite Epcot ride and now it’s gonna be shut down while I’m there
I thought I heard, or read, somewhere that this refurb included inclosing most or all of the outside portion so that it can run when the weather gets bad??
Can't wait to see the new version! Hopefully, it won't take as long as they are projecting. Or worse, longer!
This looks fantastic.
I’d love to see more from test track, for a ride that introduces a bit of thrill.. it’s all too quickly over for me.. personally I would like to see them weave in a dip that caused some air time and possibly a skid pan style 360.. before heading back in..
I’m so excited it looks beautiful! Even for the ugly canopy!! As an ev driver I can’t wait to see what they come up with 💙
No walls... 1983. Very exciting - Hooray!
This is my son's favorite ride...sadly...we won't be back at WDW until July.
This is the first thing that Disney has done in years that im genuenely excited and hopeful for and feel like it will actually keep the thematic integrity of Disney
I loved the theming of the original test track and just how detailed it was, even in the queue, which was incredible. I hope this test track goes back to those roots and learns from the mistakes of 2.0. Just wish it wasn't going to take a year.
Are they keeping the legendary soundtrack
“Plus-ing it” I see what you did there….
Wow there's a lounge? Wow never noticed
My late father was a GM engineer, and even worked on setting up the battery production line for the EV1. We went to the lounge once when it was version 1.0. We were escorted in a special entrance, had snacks in the lounge, then boarded the ride backstage before they came around to the main queue. It was pretty cool, as a kid.
Closing a popular people eater in JUNE! Brilliant.
Since Test Track will be closed for a year, they need at least some small attraction to makeup for some of that. Is there a chance they could ever bring back Honey I Shrunk The Audience to the Imagination theater for it's 30th anniversary? That theater at both Epcot and Disneyland has been limited to showing Pixar shorts and movie trailers for the past several years, it's sad.
Is this gonna be like the old world of motion with the new test track vehicle
It blows my mind how much these theme park projects cost. $100 million for a ride reskin??? That is wild!!!
Here we go again.
TEST TRACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome...Mt. Fuji ride, New Imagination building show, and Mary Poppins ride will eat up the crowds normally taken up by Test Track.
Yeah, so glad they decided to do Tony Baxters version and not just skimp on Chapek’s indoor carousel. - The Germany pavilion is amazing now as well finally, thanks to the River Cruise. I can’t believe how great Epcot is now. Just a few months of nightshift constructing new attractions and it’s on par with Disney Sea. Attendance is at a new record. So proud of Igers Disney Company.
6:45 I bet it doesn’t hurt to have Mary Barra on the BOD…
The only way Disney gets things right is when they are working with another company. They can’t get it right if it is just them.
My family has not liked 2.0 from the beginning. Cheers to 3.0 and a better experience. Now if we can only get Gary Sinise back to Mission Space!
I really don't understand how a "retheme" will take a year?
Get rid of designing cars portion. Makes the line drag. Put it at the end of the ride for people that want to do something like that.
So, their spending $100 million on the same ride, just different scenery and an awning? And GM needed Disney's creative to design this? Sounds like quite a few folks are going to be pocketing a few million from GM.
I think its also a marketing push for electric vehicles. Ya know, the thing no one is buying.
Exact same thing when test track got refurbed in 2012.
Well, I have heard the outside run is going to be enclosed so that would account for the budget.
@@gregg5958 I guess for rainy weather?
@blackfox1320 That makes sense since the ride always goes down whenever it rains.
My only issue is the timing… loosing an air conditioned space in the middle of summer may create some crowing at other venues, When you’re looking to escape the Florida heat.
I seriously doubt GM shareholders would be ok with GM spending $100M on a ride at Disney... Are they sharing in the costs? We need more details Brayden.
I’m glad I got to ride it before it closed. It won’t be open next time I go. Then I might be done going to Disney for a while. My kids want to go to Universal
People are used to test track being broke down so they won’t notice much of it being closed down.
Gotta admit I haven’t even done Test Track since being an AP Holder the last couple years. I did it as a tourist a few times and never again. It’s the Disney version of Fast and Furious. An update would be nice.
Sounds fantastic. While I didn’t hate 2.0 like others (it just seemed like a more modern, sleek version of what OG Epcot used to be), I also thought it aged faster than 1.0 did. And the computer sim design of the ride seems redundant and more cheap now with Tron currently open. And we’re finally getting rid of that canopy! Thank the maker!! I really do hope that design-a-car part goes, too. It’s a waste of time, and it makes the long lines and ride operations slow down more.
8:32 then again they did close the entire center walking path of the park for multiple years…
brayden looking good! 😀
Hopefully they fix the ridiculously jagged whiplash inducing breaking system.
as someone who never got to experience this ride before and im about to go tomorrow, this title scared me lol
Solar eclipse tier of no walls!! 😂😂😂😂 Good stuff!!
If they play It’s Fun To Be Free on this I’ll probably cry
I’ll be honest…I can miss Test Track. It’s not one of my favorites, so if they close it and make it better, I’m ok with that and I will look forward to the new one. The concept art looks cool, so we shall see.
Damm I'm going for a week to Disney starting on the 17jun. Oh well I've riden Test track over over 50 times and my son over 20 😆
