Test Track 2.0

Is it just me or has nothing really happened on the outside. I am going of memory from 2010 and a few pictures but it almost looks the same.

Not a lot yet, no. But the banners are down, and the sign is gone.

Outside is basically just getting a paint job anyway. I wouldn expect a massive amount of cosmetic changes unless we see the scaffolding coming down.

I would be very surprised if they didn't add lots of colored lighting to the exterior. With the Tron-like concept art they revealed, this has the potential to be gorgeous at night. Epcot is one of my favorite nighttime parks.

WS is lovely at night, but FW has always just been kinda "meh" for me at night save for Imagination and SSE. Lighting packages for FW would be very much appreciated.

Agree JS, FW always seems sooo....well dark at night to be honest, versus the MK its very lit up at night as well as DHS.

Well, FW does (officially) close at 7. They want you in Restaurant Showcase.

Last time I went all the rides were running until 9:00 and Disney's website has Future World listed as 9 to 9 now. They now rely on people just getting done by 6:00-7:00 to go to world showcase. All these new fastpass machines aren't there to just look nice.

I know that's officially but last time I went all the rides were running until 9:00. They now rely on people just getting done by 6:00-7:00 to go to world showcase. All these new fastpass machines aren't there to just look nice.

FW "closes" at 7, even though only 2 things (JIIwF and UoE) actually close then.

Agreed, there is really nothing to FW at night it's just kind of blah. A missed opportunity IMO. As for TT, please get rid of that damn scaffolding Disney! Please!

The scaffolding makes it look like a temporary concert stage. Maybe they can book the Crash Test Dummies for the Grand Re-Opening.

That changed late last year. The only thing that "closes" officially at 7 is Innoventions.

Lots of interesting things are happening at Test Track. Going to be an interesting few months till the exterior is finished. Dunno when we will hear those cars again though.

Disney seems to make it look like sometime early December. Have you heard otherwise?

Later than that.

 

[CraigM]

Later than that.

Really? How much later?

 

[JungleSkip]

Really? How much later?

I'd guess before summer 2013. March/April time.

Did something delay them? Everything I've heard keeps pointing to December 1, 2012. If it is looking like an additional four-five months, I wonder if something slowed them down.
