I think that Disney should build another park with all the old attractions they removed and call it Vault Disney World!!!

I rode this with my Grandmother and we both liked it. She would never have ridden test track. See... breaking up the family is just what Walt was against.

I was stuck at the 6:21 mark when the ride broke down.

Watching the video of Old San Francisco Market Street was a treat!

Home...the city by the bay!

Jennsky...I really appreciate your time in posting this! It really takes me back. It really does seem like yesterday. I remember the first time I rode that,and was thrilled by the technology at the end of the ride.

Wheeeee!

I appreciate this more as an adult now, than as a kid 15 years ago.

@BeatlesAnthology He also said, "I love the nostalgic myself. I hope we never lose some of the things of the past."

You can use a quote from Walt to justify pretty much anything, as long as you cherry-pick the right one. Replacing things is fine, as long as you can be sure you're replacing it with something better, that has at least the same artistic integrity as what you're replacing.

@mickeyminniegoofy Walt was all about PROGRESS. He did not want his parks to become shrines of the past, if a certain attraction was aging and becoming dated he would want it to be replaced with something more relevant of the times. Walt would be ashamed if someone visited Epcot and than 20 years later came back and saw the exact same dated attractions from decades before. Walt always said he wanted his parks to change and evolve over time and stay modern.

Has anyone heard that RUMOR...I repeat, RUMOR that the name World of Motion might return after Test Track gets a refurb next year?

@mickeyminniegoofy Walt also said that the parks were not meant to be Museums but rather a testament to human ability innovation and imagination

I saw "World of Motion" as the "Pirates of the Caribbean" of EPCOT Center. Character & humor driven with Audio-Animatronics a la Marc Davis, & a catchy song by Baker & Atencio. It's a shame that so many wonderful AA's had to perish in the name of a "thrill ride."

I used to work at this attraction and then I was on opening crew of the Test Track. I liked WOM, it was a classic.
