I've been to EPCOT countless times, ridden Test Track so so many times, these experiences feel so fresh, I feel like I could navigate the place blindfolded... and yet when I really think about it the last time I went was probably 2006. I was in high school then, I'm in my 30's now, it doesn't feel like I've changed, surely if I shave this beard I'd still look like my graduation photos right? It's so strange to consider that there is a whole long lasting incarnation of this ride that I never experienced, I sure hope I get to do this new one.

Looking a lot better! One perhaps minor gripe is that I wish they could find a more graceful way to integrate those cameras into the environment. On this pavilion and the Mexico pavilion, they really stand out. I know that may seem minor, but it's the kind of detail that Disney built their reputation on taking into account.

that new awning looks really really good. So so so much better than that terrible canopy they had for years... This is aestheticly a small but major change for the better.
