News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

Everything isn’t perfect. You’ll see it one day.

I guess it was mentioned somewhere and I missed it. How long is the ride? Thanks.

Like 80-90 seconds, I think? But that's including the braking at the end to disembark etc.; I think from launch to what is essentially the end of the ride is about 60 seconds.

I’ll be posting nighttime photos later tonight

Also got a shot of the new restrooms, no guests inside. View attachment 696285

Ever since I was a boy, I’ve always dreamed of peeing in the Grid.

Thought you were kidding for a minute. No pun intended. A one minute ride? Is there a ride that short anywhere else in Disney? I’m trying to think of my 30+ trips down since the 70’s and I can’t think of one.

Barnstormer

I'm hearing rumors of lots of people not fitting very easily in the seats

Maybe the smaller portion sizes that Christine McCarthy mentioned awhile will help with that.

Barnstormer

Forgot about that one. So it’s about as long as the Barnstormer. I guess I was expecting more.

RnRC total duration is 1:22...

 

[ChrisFL]

RnRc is more than just the ride though, it has a pre-show experience and sort of build-up to the ride. Not having seen a lot of the queue area of TRON yet (even the Shanghai one), is there any type of pre-show?

Fair...although total duration of Tron from start to end is closer to 2 minutes. Less of course if you start from the launch sequence, but that disregards the build up. Also, there are some pre-show effects that someone posted earlier.

RnRc is about 1:07 from launch to breaking.

Bottom line..length of ride is on par with RnRc, with what I consider better effects at beginning and end...

Yeah, launching coasters are usually pretty quick. GotG and Hagrid’s are the exceptions.

No Daft Punk animatronics?

I do see it! I routinely criticize WDW (see my posts about fiberglass character statues, Disney's nickel and diming, or any of my ongoing rants about acoustic tile drop ceilings)! But there's a thoughtful way to do this and there's constantly complaining about everything.

I double-dog-dare you to start a new thread listing all the things you like (present tense) about WDW! Or to post in this thread something you like about TRON (without a qualification, downside, or additional complaint). Come on, you can do it!

 

[_caleb]

Anyone find a good recording of the TRON area background music from within the area? The examples I'm finding are not good.

 

[ToTBellHop]

Christine McCarthy just wants us all to be able to fit into these seats.

Be prepared to wait for the last row accessible seats. They only installed them on a few trains.

Not that there are any surprises, but here's the first full ridethrough I've found of MK's Version:

 

[Casper Gutman]

How can you not love that?

Because if naked coaster track excited me, I’d be going to Cedar Point?

 

[Patcheslee]

Because of the lighting effects, I wonder how many people will delay entering the VQ after their group is called to ride at night. Admittedly I'll probably do a ILL specifically for that reason.

 

[tparris]

Canopy lights are not in show mode, and they seem to be “stuck”, like the computer controlling it crashed or something. It’s blue and not animated/moving, as if someone hit pause.
