I always enjoy seeing PM’s answer fan questions. Thanks for taking the time to do so. On the flip side of that I wish the answers were a little less PR-ish. Either way I can’t wait to see the end product.
My little brother has always wanted to be an imagineer at Disney and he has been busy building virtual roller coasters thinking of ways to improve the ones already at Disney. What’s the best way for a kid to get on the right track to be an imagineer? How did you become one?
This was wonderful! I missed the beginning, but was very excited to see I could read the whole chat. Thank you for that! We are very excited to see the new re-imagined Test Track. We’ll be there at the beginning of October and then the beginning of January! I have it on my schedule for our January trip already :). Thank you again for the great chat!
Will there be an option to opt out of the design stations and just ride the ride?
This is awesome, so glad it’s the last day of my vacation and I have off!!
Will Bill McKim make a triumphant return with the new Test Track, or has the character been removed?
How many possible iterations of the ride will there be? I’m imagining a “Choose Your Own Adventure” version of Star Tours 2.0, in which there are, for instance, 5 decisions to make, each with 4-5 choices for the guest.
Will the track be similar to the old track or will it be completely different?
Rumor has it that this will become a “design your own” kind of experience. Will there still be a ride, or will it become a simulator like the design-your-own at Downtown Disney, or Mission Space?
Also…related…is anything to be done to make the lines move faster — shorten the wait?
Is the exterior of the building going to see any changes?
Any chance that the new Test Track will be open before the end of November? We will be there from Nov 15-23rd and really hoping we get a chance to see it during out stay.
How will the new Test Track tie into the cohesive narrative of Future World?
Is there a chance of this sort of updating work extending out to other areas of Future World?
What I read about the new Test Track is that it’s making us believe we get into the virtual testing, like getting into a computer (not unlike Tron). But what happens when you leave the building? Do we get transported to the real world or will the outside get a digital makeover to?
What steps are taken during a refurbishment to make sure it will be a long-lasting change? The old Test Track started becoming dated near the end – how do you determine the most important changes to make, to make the update ‘last’?
I was wondering, I’m not much of a thrill ride fan, will the changes you make to the vehicle allow your ride to be smoother/ less thrilling?
