I think the entire purpose of the outdoor section of the attraction was to show off the ride system and add some kinetic eye candy to the outside of the big box that is the show building... and in the end it is set dressing that does nothing to really advance the plot of the "story" that the ride is telling...it does the opposite. Also the many brake blocks encountered on the interior section are annoying and seem to stop the action every time it just starts going... The outdoor section should have had something to do with the inside....and it currently doesn't at all... so in the end, it feels like the launch is just a conveyance to the show building, because you fully brake before entering the interior part... when then feels painfully short. I liked the ride... I think it is visually very pretty when you get into the "Game Grid" but the outdoor section is problematic... Imagine if GOTG begins as it does on a transport shuttle in outer space, then launches outside on the roof before stopping and then going back inside... It would completely destroy the continuity of that attraction... Which is what this does at Tron. And yes I do think it is very pretty, and yes I enjoyed the ride ( went on it 3 times in a row)... but it would have made a much more engaging attraction with the launch and circle all happening indoors...
