Beginnings of Tomorrowland Revamp?

So shove it somewhere more suitable and less obtrusive.

Or just shove it.

If we get Tron I'd want something better than the coaster at Shanghai. The people here who have been there and ridden it said it's not all it's cracked up to be.

The problem is the main selling point of any Tron ride would be ridding a light-cycle. So if it's not a coaster then it would likely be a simulator and frankly I would rather the coaster.

There's other vehicles that could be pitched just as well.

Looking forward to whatever gets done, just as long as the Speedway is changed to something that's more exciting.

Would TRON really be a consideration next to SM or could it replace SM.. Sacrilege......

They're not pulling Space Mtn.

Depends if you're thinking of the short coaster from Shanghai?

Of course not.

The sad part now is they present Move it, Shake it now at night and a lot of guests probably are satisfied with that... which in turn disincentives TDO from getting a new night parade at WDW in any timely manner.

The lighting for the night version of Move it, Shake It is awful.

Wasn't there chatter of a Tron attraction taking over Buzz Lightyear?

 

[Flynnwriter]

When is WDW going to replace the ride system and track for space mountain? It feels like it is falling apart. Are they waiting for an accident to close it and replace it? It is In desperate need of a full redo.

The lighting for the night version of Move it, Shake it, Celebrate it...

(Or lack thereof...)

There always seems to be a lot of people who want to see the Tomorrowland Speedway removed. I get its not "exciting" for the adults but lets not forget the kids who the park was also built for to enjoy. My children couldn't wait till they could drive the cars and yes I had my fair share of whiplash riding in those things.But lets not forget who the speedway is geared to...the children.

So is the rest of MK and, increasingly, all of WDW.

The issue is the average guests love the dance parties with the characters.

I assume the average guest would enjoy a new ride even more though. Tron coaster in the parking lot, anyone?...

(oh btw Tron 3 is back on the table with Jared Leto slated to lead http://www.nme.com/news/film/jared-leto-tron-disney-reboot-2001736)

The "average guest" gravitates to nearly any and all in land entertainment. I haven't seen the character dance parties generate any more of a crowd than a more thematically appropriate band in Harambe or Streetmasphere along Sunset or Hollywood Boulevard. Just because the "Average guest" watches something, doesn't make it appropriate or even profitable.

Thank you for repeating what I said in my follow up replies.

So you're saying a Tron attraction that ISN'T the Shanghai coaster is being looked at?

"Better" could be a better coaster.

Take them to a go cart track. Same exact thing and much cheaper. I think there's one at Fun Spot though I've never been.
