News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[gerarar]

Why would they not have taken out the "ramp" between the pathway and the Speedway. Make it such that instead of the ramp, there is wall up against the speedway and you basically double the width the pathway.

If they took out the "ramp" in that area, I guess it would look weird that the ramp stops and resumes again after the new walkway.

Also probably it would lead to another Speedway closure, and I guess they can't afford that rn. Should've done it way back when the Speedway did close for the track readjustment.

This ride is so absurdly badly placed that my working theory is that a Disney VP was having an office affair with a subordinate and, when their spouse walked in on them, they panicked, claimed to be working late on a new ride, and as proof grabbed the miniature Tron building from the HKDL model and shoved it into the WDW model at random. Then they had to build it or face an expensive divorce.

I don't think the train will be in the tunnel long enough to make any inside theming worth it....

Also, to the left of the tunnel is the pathway walking tunnel, well, the second one, the other one is where the red arrow is...

The wall to the left of it is a retaining wall that will presumably be filled with dirt for landscaping.

Well, heck! That's not even enough time for a good "oooooooooo". *grumble*

But will a dinosaur fit in there?

Maybe. But, I'll try. I will definitely try...

 

[JohnD]

They can put up a much bigger sign!!

I think we'll just have to wait for nature to take its course and let the trees grow and block the building. May be a while. . .

 

[ToTBellHop]

Well, this guy thinks it'll be open by October.

So I don’t know that it will make October because they delayed before restarting, but it is definitely this year, now. Previews during October certainly aren’t out of the question. Could just be CMs at that point, though.

 

[JEANYLASER]

I hope January Previews!

 

[ToTBellHop]

I hope January Previews!

It’ll just be open by then. Book a Lightning Lane!

Do you think there's any chance they would be able to open the railroad by November, even if TRON isn't ready to go yet?

Yep.

 

[Disney Glimpses]

I hope January Previews!

It would be a significant miss if previews didn't occur by the end of October, even with the delays.

 

[JeffyDiz]

I predict October 1st virtual queue, personally.

For the WDWRR? There will be a crowd of crying fanboys and fangirls stretching from the park entrance to the TTC, I’m sure. Thank goodness they built those bridges.

I should clarify... I predict VQs being for Tron on October 1st.

October 1st, 2023.

We shall see! Money talks, Disney lives by it, and it's nearly ready. Expect them to rush thru the home stretch so that they are *only* one year late

They can slow walk the opening as long as they want. Look how long they dragged their feet opening 'Ratatouille' !

Hopefully they can use the time to make it bulletproof so it is not plagued by downtime
They need a workhorse because they are going to take space down for a track replacement as soon as......
Right?
Sorry for the edit penguin
