News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[Br0ckford]

Talked to my source again, and they mentioned that their team's work on the project is lasting at least till mid-January. If you knew what this person were working on, you'd agree: I don't think you see the general public on this ride before 2023.

Any chance I can pre ride? I'll sign a waiver. I'll risk it. I just want to ride the dang thing.

Gotta say, I'm really liking the look of the curved pavement wall elements.

Sure -- just go to Guest Relations and let them know you're available to serve as a crash test dummy.

Nice to see that New Tomorrowland floods the same as Old Tomorrowland.

Other than the pavement raising the level up to the drain opening they usually seal the drains so they don't fill with dirt and debris. Too soon

It's almost as if they built a theme park in a swamp

And that's the second story of a complex built in a swamp.

Why is a rooftop flooding?

From what I've see this ride doesn't look like it's that great. It seems very short for the amount of waiting you'll have to do. Kinda like 7 Dwarf's Mine Train.

its a 1 minute launch coaster, like space mountain, velocicoaster, or RnRC

VC actually has some decent length to it for the kind of coaster it is and it's way better than TRON or RNCR could ever dream of being.

I didn't see Velocicoaster the first read was slipped in with the others but other than being a launched (multi) coaster it has nothing in common with RnRC. Why is space in this group? Kind of like picking up a handfull of stones and saying they are all the same

Yeah, not all coasters are equal.

Space Mountain and Velocicoaster are significantly longer.

I feel they could have improved it from the previous version.etc....., but it is cheaper i'm sure to reproduce the same thing.

I've been on the Shanghai version (which this should be a carbon copy of)...and it's a blast! One of those rides you want to ride again immediately (if your head can take it).

Just had a thought. The impending completion of Tron should give a green light to the reopening of the railroad.

However, it goes through Splash. Wouldn’t the e extensive closure of Splash mean a similar closure of the railroad would have to occur?

My guess is no for a couple of reasons:
1) The "structure" (and "tunnel") already exist for Splash; Tron was (literally) built on top of the existing tracks.
2) If Splash really is more of a "re-theming", then they probably are not going to do much re-routing of "track"...which means they won't be modifying the existing structure (much).

Tron should have opened before GOTG, since at least GOTG has a great preshow (when working), great ride elements and a longer ride.

Tron is just a few helixes and a rather boring queue.

I've said this as well.

Even though I don't think GotG looks especially great, it's certainly a more impressive attraction top to bottom than TRON. It was very poor planning to not get TRON open well before Cosmic Rewind because it's going to be very underwhelming in comparison.

I still think RnRc has great theming, both before and during the ride. Then again, I rode it during its soft openings, so it’s special to me.
