Test Track 2.0

What's interesting about the above set of photos from Behind the Thrills is that they are the same set that was sent to OrlandoInformer. You can check out BTT's full photo gallery here:

Can someone remind me, how are they gonna know which car is ours/ the one we designed? Is there a tracking system? Like a card or something that is scanned? It doesn't look like there's a set spot for each person, I mean, it doesn't seem like computer #1 will match up with car seat #1... Looks like a bunch of computers all around... So how do they match it up? (I hope I'm not making my question too convoluted)

That's funny! But in all seriousness, RFID'ing everything is CREEPY!! :look:

 

[BJCool]

Yeah, so "anonymous source" apparently sent his pics to as many fan sites as possible as even Attractions Magazine has posted the same photos as OrlandoInformer and Behind the Thrills.

It's definitely a completely different look from the previous queue. I mean, you can't even tell what used to be there. I like that.

Yeah, this person basically sent the same set out to anyone who would listen. But putting that aside, everything looks very nice so far, a bit of an 80's EPCOT Center vibe in some of the pics actually.

Totally! I'm digging this queue SO much more than the previous one! Sleek!

So apparently the Operating System that the Design Center runs on is Windows 7 Enterprise. I don't mean to be "that guy" that's getting picky over little things that don't mean squat, but this is Future World and from that information, the Design Center is already running on an old OS.

Or it was the newest OS when designing the attraction.

If they really wanted to, I'm sure they could've gotten ahold of Windows 8 in advance to incorporate it in.

Nothing wrong with Windows 7. It's a great OS and functions much better than windows 8

I'm not saying there is. I just found it weird that they didn't use Windows 8 for the OS, seeing as it's the newest OS.

I'm glad they didn't worry about troubleshooting an unreleased OS. And I don't think it really matters anyway.

 

[Nick]

I don't think it will matter either. I personally prefer Windows 8 to 7, but I don't think it would've had a big impact on the Design experience (thus why they probably deemed it unnecessary to use 8).

 

[ThemeParks4Life]

I'm glad they have 7 instead of 8. Remember how they were trying something new with Vista? :look:

It is kind of like arguing what brand of TV monitors they used. No matter and ideally the guests never find out.

lol, ideally yes...unless the Design Center completely spazzes out and an error screen pops up on all of the screens.

Am I the only one that's not too jazzed by the queue?

Probably not. I think it's a huge step forward though. What don't you like?
