We're flying from Gatwick on May 3rd - how about you?

Our second Saratoga Springs adventure!

Hope I'm reading it wrong. I don't understand how you can 'create your own custom vehicle' if its not going to be a simulator

The way I see it, the ride will operate identically to now, but there will be some interactive elements that riders will program in beforehand.

Yep, that's how I read it too. You'll get some time with some fancy screens in-queue which somehow will automagically be relevant to your vehicle by the way of some in car screens or a part of the pre-show something like that.

I'm sure the ride will be the 'same' in essence in that you'll still go on a 'Test Track' but with some in-queue entertainment to enhance the overall experience. I'd imagine the cars will have Chevrolet branding and may look different too...but it would NOT be a different ride in the same space. Call it Test Track Remixed, if you will.

My only thought would be that a 'car' is for 6 people...what if you're a party of two? Do you not get to contribute or feel a part of the process if you get lumbered with a party of 4?

Guest Guest	Any idea WHEN in April Test Track will be closed? Had a look on WDW website but it shows no closure dates for it. Hoping its not closed when we're there as we just LOVE this ride & will be gutted if we miss out on it
