  • Опубликовано: 20 апр 2012
  • A complete look at the original Test Track attraction at Epcot in Walt Disney World. This video shows you the outside, takes you through the whole queue, shows you the pre-show video and then takes you on the ride. The ride video is a mix of a DSLR and GoProHD cameras. Then we take you through the post show area and show you some thumbing outside the attraction.
    The attraction closed in April 2012 to be redesigned and reopen in the fall of 2012.

    The original version made sense and was awesome. It actually felt like an R&D facility and test track. Current version feels like some designer just got lazy.

      In the old Walt Disney World Explorer computer game, there was a previsualization preview of the ride that depicted such a thing, so that might be what you’re thinking of. I know other snippets of that previz showed up in other promo material like the WDW travelog for 1996 too, so it could be something around that time.
