News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[jaxonp]

Noted.

I mean... I've been on it probably 20 times or so give or take.

 

[jaxonp]

I think Hagrid's would disagree with you but for the rest - yeah

Really no comparing the two. Hagrid's blow it away. Visually, Tron looks neat. The ride isn't great and is over before it starts.

People will like it because:

a. its new
b. it looks cool
c. its "fast"

then everyone will get off and talk about how short it was just like they do in China, lol.

I was comparing the seating position on motorcycle coasters, on Hagride I want front row.
No question it is miles above Tron in design

 

[J4546]

Its gonna be a very popular ride, (that happens to be based on an IP i love) and I think it will add a ton of ambience to Tomorrowland, hopefully the start of a massive TL update.

 

[Kamikaze]

Tron will be a great addition...ive often looked at the one in Shanghai and thought how visually brilliant it looks.

Yes it isn't a huge thrill rollercoaster, but that's not the point of it.

But it's very much an attraction which comes alive at night, so for 90% of the parks opening time it won't be worth riding.

And this is just another example of why you should never form opinions on things solely from a video.

Hagrid's only looks like a motorcycle coaster, but it has traditional coaster seating, unlike TRON.

Yes enough with the negative nancy’s the ride visually looks great and it will add new energy to Tomorrowland.

It looks like a warehouse with a canopy. And it doesn’t seem to be visible from much of Tommorrowland.

The motorcycle seat is a motorcycle coaster. You don’t need a back restraint to make it a motorcycle coaster.

This is information I didn't necessarily ask for but cool, I guess?

Not really. Straddling the ride vehicle is a notable difference.

I think a lot of people are just looking at pictures of Shanghai and assuming that's how it will look at WDW.

And sure, it will look like that if you're standing in the right place. But unlike at Shanghai, it's not the centerpiece of Tomorrowland. It's back in a corner. You probably won't be able to see it at all before you get past the Astro Orbiter.

It shows how little thought they put into the placement.

Where should they have put it? (Serious question)

I'm not sure where else in TL they could have put it? People currently complain about the show building being seen from the monorail now, to have it the other side of Space Mountain would bring it even nearer?

 

[WondersOfLife]

Any addition is good. It didn’t replace anything. It’s pretty. Space Mountain is right next door if you need a longer ride time. And we’re getting Guardians. Nothing to complain about for me.

Or I think more what people are getting at is that they could have altered the design.

Well there is that and that's fair enough. Perhaps they looked into it and there were too many obstacles?

 

[ToTBellHop]

I just want them to finish the design. My goodness this is taking a long time! Let me find the announcement…

Good grief!

The space between Tomorrowland and Main Street, USA, approximately where the Main Street Theater was to be located, is where the attraction was initially slated to be placed way back when it was going to be co-developed by the Magic Kingdom and Shanghai Disneyland along with Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. Space Mountain wasn’t just dropped into Disneyland once the decision was made to add that attraction. Space Mountain and Tomorrowland were adjusted to work together as part of a larger experience. TRON should have had it’s design adjusted to integrate into Tomorrowland, not just be a thing over there.

The obstacles were money. They were trying to add stuff quickly and cheaply. It’s the reason Ratatouille was also grabbed and dropped into a weird spot.

I think Tron’s design works well for Tomorrowland. If we need to complain about something like that we need to look at the speedway.
