Disney Parks Blog to hold live chat to discuss new Test Track at Epcot

Posted on 19:41 by john mical
For those wanting to know more about the newly revamped Test Track at Epcot, the Disney Parks Blog will hold a live chat on Aug. 27 to answer many questions.

The 1:15 p.m. chat will be with Melissa Jeselnick an assistant project manager with Walt Disney Imagineering. She has been with Disney for 8 years and has worked on Phineas and Ferb Agent P’s World Showcase Adventure, Star Tours: The Adventure Continues, The Haunted Mansion, Space Mountain, Toy Story Midway Mania, Pixar Street and Soarin', according to the Disney.

The Test Track closed on April 15 and is supposed to re-open on Dec. 1.

Under a new long-term commitment from GM, the Test Track will be highlighting Chevrolet cars.

As part of the makeover, there will be a “Chevrolet Design Center at Epcot” immersing visitors into automotive design. Amid Chevrolet concept cars and model vehicles, guests will be able to work at interactive design and styling stations, where they will be able to create their own custom concept vehicles.

The guests will then buckle into a 6-person “SimCar” ride vehicle and put the design through its paces on the hills, switchbacks and straight-aways of the Test Track circuit. When complete, riders then move to a post-show area filled with special effects and be scored on how well the custom concept vehicle did.
