I liked the "nerdy" feel of the old Test Track. ; The queue was SOOOO much more visually immersive and stimulating. ; The concept of automotive testing flowed so much more with the old version. ; Lab testing was extremely educational because you learned what tests were done and why. ; My rehab would have been an update using the same theming while focusing on state of the art technology. ; The current focus is ONLY on the design aspect. ; Even so, the design has more to do with gamer-style design than real automotive design.
Having trashed the current version, I will slightly redeem it by acknowledging the fun and immersive-ness of the virtual design and on-ride testing. ; The interactive queue is great! ; It is fun to see how your vehicle performed compared to others in your ride vehicle. ; But, like Spaceship Earth, I think the virtual design is better suited for an after-ride area. ; The ride itself is not enhanced by this new virtual appendage. ; Perhaps the design aspect could have been added to the old concept of vehicle testing.
Cool points for the inside looking like TRON. ; Now there's an idea. ; Hummmmm.
At the end of the day, people will always ride Test Track for the thrill ride. ; Most people couldn't care less about the beginning once the ride vehicle pops out the double doors on its way to 60 MPH.
