Following the recent removal of Test Track's canopy structure earlier this week, the iconic marquee sign has now been mostly taken down.

The front of the building is largely cleared of elements from Test Track 2.0, as efforts focus on creating a more streamlined and modern entrance area for the reimagined version of EPCOT's original thrill ride.

I can assure you that I have never considered the phrase "I'm an accountant, not a marketing guru" to be putting myself down! :p

Honestly, my kids were never interested in the interactive options - they wanted to go check out the cars and be able to sit inside them when it was available.

There were times that we have been in the market for a new vehicle and used the post ride showroom to check some of options GM offered. We never rushed out of the park to local dealership to buy one but have seen vehicles to consider - and vehicles to cross off the list.

So you’re saying I have a chance?!?!

An impulse buy of a car at epcot seems about as likely as a guy proposing to a disney princess and actually getting a yes. Shockingly enough even people of other careers have often had better ideas than those who are in that career so don't put yourself down. It happens all the time in truth.

I wonder how many people go to Disney and sees the ride is sponsored by GM and are like let's go buy a Chevy. Probably enough for them to sponsor the ride.

That seems like a terrible decision from a marketing standpoint for GM. The previous version with the interactive stuff and photo ops actually caused people to spend time in the post-show area. This will...not. But then again, I'm an accountant, not a marketing guru.

Yeah….. I was hoping what I saw wasn’t the finished product but feared that it might be. Even the vehicle displays were much better in 1.0 - can’t remember much from 2.0 cause I didn’t ride it much. Haha

https://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/test-track/news/23jul2025-general-motors-debuts-new-vehicle-showcase-at-epcots-test-track.htm Just as I feared. I was hoping for something memorable but all we got is equivalent to a car dealership disguised as a ride ending. At least the last iteration gave you a good reason to stick around after the ride is over. This one just convinces you to leave as quick as possible. Now this definitely reminds me of old school world of motion. :facepalm:

🤷‍♀️ Not the faintest idea.

It’s not impossible. I’m convinced he increased the popularity of living with the land by 60 percent.

Same here, he's just got a unique but fun vibe to all of his videos and he isn't your typical Disney youtuber. Also I hope he single-handedly convinces Disney to bring back the DL Peoplemover
