This isn't an intensely done queue like Star Tours. The only good thing about the queue in the Standby Line on TT is that it is out of the Central Florida elements and air conditioned.

Originally Posted By EPCOT Explorer >>>I hope they remove all the clutter in front of the test track building.<<< Same here. >>>Plus, they really can't make the TT queue any worse, really.<<< Yes they can. Starts with a "C" and ends in a "ars".

Because, to me, it's a long line, filled with clutter, and noise, and aggravation, and I'd rather wait in line for SSE on BOTH sides. LOL. At least you get to look at the building.
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo I do very much like test track, and its queue (though I preferred world of motion), as well as being a huge fan of LMA and it's queue. I think it is a good fit for epcot and is edutainment. But I am a car guy. My great grandmother was an airplane mechanic in WWII, my grandmother had a Harley when I was little. My uncles restored hot rods and let me help when I was little (ok, hold tools). My mom was the only female manager in grand auto California in the late 70's. My first job when I was 14 was clean up boy at a classic car garage. In college, I was a panel beater in the summer break (and at weekends a children's entertainer and bar tender). When I moved to the UK, we lived in luton where GM have their UK hq. I had some great memories of touring the plant and learnt to drive on the milbrook test track (there is a picture of that facility in the briefing room of epcot's test track). The whole attraction is an amazing set up of the real thing, only run by computer. I really think it is awesome and do applaud Disney for their efforts. Making it interactive could be even cooler.

Originally Posted By RoadTrip I guess it depends on your background. My grandfather owned a Ford Dealership... I spent many days as a kid back in the shop watching the mechanics work on cars... always loved it!

Originally Posted By EPCOT Explorer ^ We don't know yet, but there are rumors about it either being more futuristic, or either hearkening back to WoM. No idea how true these rumors are. But they are out there. I'm excited.

The assumption that there's one camp who is in the right by "pointing out the obvious" while the other camp are by definition "apologists" is just plain rude. Everyone has an opinion, and every opinion has merit (well, almost every opinion). Some people like WDW the way it is, see nothing wrong with it, and defend every move the company makes. They're not apologists in any way - it's just the way they see the World. Agree, don't agree, but don't label them with a derogatory stereotype - it's uncalled for. And don't claim the high ground because you think you're in the right while everyone else is wrong. That's just as rude.

Therefore, disagreement signifies a lack of comprehension of the "rightness" of the opinion. There's nothing wrong with stating an opinion with great conviction. And it is better to support that opinion with anecdotal and factual information. But when someone is equally sure of a conflicting opinion, and offers supporting information, it doesn't mean they don't understand. It may mean they simply disagree.

Can only imagine TDO was brainwashing Cameron into thinking interactive queues will be the end all be all for Avatarland. But i love that Rohde is livid.
