*GM Test Track*
As construction continues rapidly on the GM Test Track, vehicles are
being cycled currently.  Advanced word says that the unique thrill
attraction will be running the cars through regularly (the show
design will not be completed, however) in time for a press walk-
through this coming September.  Slated to open in Spring of 1997,
this alliance between General Motors and Disney will feature a
journey in test vehicles that undergo harsh weather testing, various
road surfaces, close encounters with semi-trucks and finally, a
harrowing high-speed trip around the test track that circumnavigates
the outside structure.  Stay tuned for more details!
**Universe Of Energy**
This revamped attraction was supposed to open this past June, however,
 preliminary tests sent things back to the drawing board, reportedly
something that wasn't quite right about the Ellen Degeneres Audio-
Animatronic figures inside the ride.  Ellen's face is being re-
designed, hopefully in time for the 25th Anniversary of Walt Disney
World.  To make up for the delay, the original UOE has been re-opened.
