Full video. It's a marked improvement that has taken a bad to mediocre ride to a good ride. Can't wait to see it in person next month.

EDIT: Hm. Apparently the video is now "private". Sorry about that.

Bad to mediocre? Why would you rank the old TT that low?

Got to ride twice today. I enjoyed it. I think it's big improvement over the original.

Nonexistent sets or theming, a lousy premise, and the ride itself was generally nothing special.

Sure, the ride was nothing special and the premise wasn't the best, but nonexistent sets or themes? They were there.

The vast majority of the ride was in a big, open warehouse with nothing to look at.

Definitely impressed. And I'm sure the effects only look better in person.

I'm impressed they made Test Track look good.

The unfortunate part is it's still the same track and nothing has changed save for the loss of the block tests.

The only really unfortunate points are:

- The exterior save for the new sign and marquees (but NOT the canopy or the cutouts on it).
- The costumes.
- The lack of music/effects along the outer loops.
- The show building reentry (though it's apparent that they tried).

Everything else is absolutely true Disney E-ticket quality and I cannot wait to ride because of it.

The lack of great, booming audio after the well done interior sections make it seem very unfinished and the contrast once outside is startling. On-ride audio for the "Power" portion of the ride wouldn't have been that hard to add during the attraction's lengthy downtime. :shrug:
