The real question is… have they finally paved that one spot?

How was it not a copy and paste?

It is an exact replica of Singapore. With that said, the "Copy and Paste" tag is being used to discredit what many people consider to be an amazing attraction. Like I said, it is still a unique attraction unless you've been on the Singapore Tron ride, which is very few and far between. Thats my point.

It doesn’t seem like even the folks who’ve ridden it and enjoyed it consider it “amazing”…

I would have to say that I’ve never heard anyone describe the Shanghai version as “amazing”. It’s a 90 second launch coaster. At the end of the day, it is a copy and paste attraction. Its extremely long construction timeline makes the “copy and paste” worse. If it had opened in a reasonable time, you would probably see less people complaining about it being “copy and paste”. They literally picked it up (rollercoaster tycoon style) and plopped it down in Tomorrowland .

I may be mistaken but the "Copy and Paste" tag isn't really used to discredit the quality of the attraction but moreso how long it took the attraction to be completed.

It's a unique attraction for Walt Disney World. The theming is practically already done at Test Track.
Right down the road there is another motorcycle coaster that is longer, has multiple surprise elements, while not as fast...multiple launches, etc.

This will be a fun attraction. It's a nice addition to WDW (although it's placement next to Space Mountain is odd), will be beautiful at night, and will be a blast to ride.
Groundbreaking? I don't see that.

Well we are all allowed our own opinion.

I have spoken to enough people and reviewed posting boards to see that enough people view the "whole" of this attraction to be amazing. I believe that not just the attraction itself but the canopy and the overall aesthetics to me are amazing!!! You are going to have to live with that opinion.

Yeah, I get that you may see it that way.

For me It's significantly different enough from Test Track, and unique from Hagrids to be considered ground breaking.
For others, you could literally build a floating rollercoaster 30,000' up in the sky and they would still complain.

For the general public that aren't necessarily Disney Fanatics they will be floored by this attraction.

I think most of the time on these boards we get caught up in an echo chamber of negativity.

If you are on this board enough then you would be mistaken. The negativity justified, and unjustified is through the roof!
With that said, I'm just sharing my opinion. Its hardly fact.

I think quite possible you're letting your fan love for the parks cloud your judgement, as most us have at one point. For this ride to be as amazing with multiple exclamations marks as you put it, it should have been expanded into the Tomorrowland speedway with a much larger track layout and not a clone or cut and paste of an existing ride. For example Hagrid's ride in IOA is impressive and on a large, immersive scale that is well themed. If Disney would have pushed the boundaries of their imagination and budgets and made Tron a unique ride all to its own and longer than 90 seconds, I could agree with you here. I just don't see the enthusiasm here for a clone that looks like not a lot of afterthought went into it and was squeezed into a tight spot in Tomorrowland.

The extreme time frame and budget issues used to build this ride didn't help either.

I honestly don’t want to go tit for tat with you, so I’ll just respect your opinion even though I disagree with a majority of them.

You would also be mistaken to discredit my thoughts as being fanboyism.

Be well.
