Chevrolet and Disney designers worked together to create the new attraction. It gives guests the change to design their own prototypes while waiting in line. They can send the designs to social media platforms to share with friends. The EN-VChevrolet EN-V 2.0United States of America, 2012 > present1 photo

“At Chevrolet, the diversity of talent on our team allows us to consistently produce sophisticated, refined and detailed design – but we don’t typically design through the eyes of a 12-year-old. Working with Walt Disney Imagineering, we were inspired to see our brand story from a more youthful perspective and really opened the parameters on how to approach this design challenge," said Jeff Mylenek, GM designer in charge of merchandising. 

While the rest of the ride is being updated, the ride itself is staying basically the same. Riders will get in a car, truck or crossover test vehicle and go through a simulation of how Chevrolet tests its cars on a test track. 

The upgraded ride opens on December 6.
