It’s probably impossible to tell from that basic model and track layout, but will ride vehicles be visible to other ride vehicles during the ride inside the gravity building? I’ve always loved that aspect of BTMRR, how you can see other trains riding on other parts of the track while you are riding.
It'll most likely be one single space where all trains are visible (apart from that section inside a door)
I would disagree with the multi pre-show being more complete and immersive. Rotr is disjointed and after the first time, it's a snoozefest. GoG may be a bit corny, but watchable multiple times.
I do think what's never really taken into consideration since Cosmic Rewind opened is that people often compare the length of Cosmic Rewind to Disney's later coaster, but Cosmic Rewind is the longest indoor coaster in the world at 5577,4 ft. Most coasters aren't typically that long, especially Disney coasters. The only one longer than Cosmic Rewind is Incredicoaster at 6,072 ft, and due to its speed, it actually takes less time than Cosmic Rewind. There is always a chance that this is like a Tron and shorter than you'd want, but also I doubt very much it'll be a Cosmic Rewind or Incredicoaster-lengthed ride
good point. I didn't fully appreciate how long the track for CR is, partly because a substantial portion is the pre-launch/ launch portion, which is substantial, but I tend to think of the "ride" length being more of the actual indoor portion (which is itself substantial).
Should also be noted that most of the issue with the length of the Tron coaster is that it has a launch instead of a lift hill and the outside portion feels separate from the main coaster. If you cut out the lift hill, Space Mountain and Tron are the same length. Both about 2 minutes and 10 seconds give or take. Slinky is the same length give or take a few seconds. All three are longer than Hiccups, Donkey Kong, Werewolf, and Stardust at Epic Universe.
Every time I get off TRON I always say: "if that was just 15 seconds longer, it would feel so much more complete."
I think that is part of it too... The outside portion really adds nothing to the experience... You wait in the Queue for this experience on the game grid...already in the world of Tron.... then you are shot outside into the real world....and then back into the game grid... and if all of that was part of the indoor world... flyinging over the game grid before being injected into the game itself, it would have been a much more compelling attraction.... But they chose to have the outdoor flyover to "look cool" to the outide instead of using the full track length to tell the story.... Making the ride feel shorter than it is.... and it is not a long enough ride to waste 20 seconds getting to the actual world of tron.... From launch point to "removal from the game grid is about 58 seconds... so your actual time on the "Game Grid" is about 38 seconds... the rest is getting to, and leaving the game....
Riding it at night is such a different experience and feels like a complete ride. Riding it during the day is exactly what you're describing and feels cut short even if logically I know it isn't (I do still love the ride for the record. But will always criticise that first launch going outside)
I agree...it segments the ride...making it feel less cohesive... If we are joining a team on the game grid, why are we going outside? lol
There’s another side to that coin. This land has a set budget. I would rather the budget be used wisely - which means reuse as much as possible.
Agreed and correct.
Yeah, the inside portion is pretty boring to me, reminds me a bit of RnRC - where the theming lets me down. However, I love the outside portion, I wish it was longer.
