News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

Concept art is just that, concept art. Implementation rarely ever looks like a concept. Once again the "experts" control the threads.

... and today demonstrated why we listed to our resident "experts".

LOL the speedway is literally in the Tron concept art.

Use your eyes

I'll admit that I'm dumb, but what's the blue hoho building just below Space Mountain?

It's the shop you exit into after riding.

The old arcade building I believe.

Yes. The expert in this situation is Disney

They just showed us where the ride is planned to be built

That's right, you look at a picture and you see it as a fact. You guys act like nobody else can ever have any information or knowledge. It's amazing. Like I said we'll see how it plays out. I'm not going to play these stupid games again. Believe the pictures, pictures are always facts. /thread

I trust @marni1971 who "predicted" virtually everything that was announced today.

Maybe I missed something. Can you please expound on this post?

I'm not intentionally being obtuse, btw. I'm just missing context, I think.

So it appears that the walkway will extend past TRON and over to Storybook Circus? This will help with traffic flow and to not create a dead end effect. Although, perhaps that is just the exit to the TRON ride.

You realize there is already a walkway to Storybook Circus, right?

This was the perfect opportunity to finally buldoze the awful Light and Power building.

Umm, sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the Light and Power building is still there in the concept art...

(it's there just under Space Mountain in the pic)

On the plus side, its entrance looks different, so maybe they change a few things...?

A lot of people don't know about that path.

It's not a matter of opinion, it's in the concept art, and two reliable insiders have said it's staying, but might be updated.

It is and it will. Down the road.

The WDWRR will be a fun photo op against Tron-coaster.

How dare you contradict the Spork man! You are trying to control the thread.

Looks like the train goes right through the coaster.

I'm very excited about this addition! I like that where it is placed because the massive show building will be better there than other possibilities, but it still really makes me wonder about the future of Space Mountain.

While TRON, doesn't take place in Space, the ride has some similarities. If Space Mountain does not get updated, it will look outdated or at the very least look worn out compared to the new kid on the block. If it does get updated, most of our futuristic attractions have similar looks these days. TRON has a distinct look, but part of Space piggy-back on that look. Space might receive some clean up to make it look refreshed for the 50th, but an entire track replacement and upgrade probably wouldn't happen until just after the 50th.

I'm not at all worried about what will become of the Speedway.

All I can say:

When Flynn entered the space, ah, everything changed. I've never seen anything quite like it. The awe was palpable.

Much of TL will be worked on to continue the sleek, modern aesthetic they've been developing.

I like REVIVE.

You raise some good points, I have the same concerns. Space and Carousel are going to seem very out of place.
