News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom
- Thread starter wdwmagic
- Start date
Well since it is the only new ground up attraction to be built in the most visited theme park in the world for nearly a decade...

It is. They had to break ground to build it.

Okay your now Disney.
How would you market it?
“Oh nothing to see here, just a boring coaster that the majority of you didn’t know already existed in Shanghai, but surprise, it does, so this is lame, and don’t book a trip”
…
I think one can understand the point of a marketer's job while still claiming specifically that the powers that be, and their lack of reinvestment back into the most profitable theme park they have, made marketing's job a lot harder.

Maybe you can loop it and make it a reasonable length

I wore glasses in Shanghai and had zero problem. This coaster is not intense so not sure what the issues will be?

Calling this ride copy and paste is just silly. It is new. It is revolutionary imo. Not going to go to Shanghai, likely ever like most people, so yes this it is unique. I'm going this summer because I haven't been on TRON, GOTG, or Ratatouille. Can't wait.
Haters gonna hate.

TRON is as close to a copy and paste as can be done. That is a key reason why it was built. There is nothing silly about recognizing that fact.
It is also not revolutionary or groundbreaking. The big gimmick of the ride vehicles uses Vekoma’s third generation of the vehicle design.
You can be excited and still acknowledge these facts.

Hey kids, come ride something based on an easily-forgotten movie from 41 years ago that no one watched...it's the next greatest thing!

well not to hate, but it is pretty much copy and paste... and there were better parks to place it in. I am glad we are getting this at WDW...but it is not original anymore or groundbreaking...and my only complaint on the Shanghai version ( which is the same) is the ride length...you just get started and it is over... but it is pretty.

The ride is in one location globally. It’s a unique and groundbreaking experience for a majority of the people attending. Not sure where else I’m going to go to get this experience. It goes beyond vehicle design but the whole project as a whole. Again, for me it is revolutionary and groundbreaking when you look at the project as a whole. You want to call it copy and paste go for it. With that said there is nothing factual about your facts. It is an opinion.

How was it not a copy and paste?

Would you like WDW to say that in it's advertising?
What would be the point?
The ride exists in one location on the other side of the world.

I think the point I was making is… there are always valid critiques one can level towards Disney.
And then there are “old man yells at cloud” comments.

It’s not “unique and groundbreaking” for TOMORROWLAND, let alone for the world.
