I haven't seen the movie, but the honey is part of the Laughing Place story. I think the Tar Baby story is just left out of the ride entirely.

good god they do exist
Frankly, the "time-traveling jeep" is just not immersive enough. Now, if they had wickered the story line into a hazardous trip through someone's back yard and included Professor Wayne Zalinsky and his shrink ray, I might have found it more believable. Or at least more entertaining...I like Dino better
I like the AAs and the storyline
We'll never solve this in a thread about the new Tron Coaster. Come on over here and let's talk about it like real FANS.

I think Dino had more potential. Now it has more squandered potential. However I'd say it's like an 8/10 and Indy a 9.5/10.

If they managed to theme both sides of the track in Dino with AAs and cool environments then it'd be better IMO but even with the new effects and projections added last year there is too much black space. The scenes it does have though IMO are better than those in Indy but there are too few of them. Indy is a much more well rounded experience from the queue to the load and just overall.

So I'm surprised no one has brought this up but I'm wondering how Disney is reacting to the news about the just announced Harry Potter attraction replacing Dragon Challenge in 2019.
Rumors have it, it will be a SFX Coaster on Hagrid's/Sirus' Motorbike through the forbbiden forest. If the rumors are true it may include several launches, forwards and backwards, freefall drops and other such maneuvers.
I can't imagine Disney is happy about another Bike coaster coming to orlando AND opening before Tron?

Dinosaur has so much potential, but it's still too dark, and scenes move by too quickly. After riding Indy, I realized just how much of a missed opportunity Dinosaur is, even with the improvements.
I'm thrilled that we're getting Tron in Orlando, especially because it's adding capacity to the park.

I doubt it's SFX. The theme doesn't really fit that ride system. I'm guessing it'll be a motobike coaster though.
Overall, meh. I'm Harry Potter'd out.

I doubt they were surprised. Most of us knew this was coming. I'm sure disney knew too.

Really? That sounds like it has the potential to be the best ride in Orlando.

AKA Dinosaur takes advantage of the darkness so Disney could cheap out on theming in that part of the ride.
I love going on Indy, I hate going on Dino (too loud and dark, not as fun)

Rethemed Speedway, eh?
Do you think TRON will be better than either?
From here: http://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/rumor-and-upcoming-timeline-tracker.926402/
- TRON Coaster has been announced at D23 Expo 2017
- Expected to be completed Spring 2021 [here]
- Tron is going behind the Speedway and not replacing it. [Here.] [Map.]
- Artist rendering show Speedway staying and train going through TRON, however, that shouldn't be taken as exact. Speedway gets a new theme and train's path will be accounted for. [here] [artist rendering here]
- internet rumors that TRON will lose it's covering thanks to accountant bean-counting probably aren't true. [here and here and here]
- Expected to be completed Spring 2021 [here]
- Speedway is getting an overhaul. [Here.]
- Electric cars? [Possible.]
- Not likely to be Sugar Rush from Wreck-it Ralph. [Here.]
- Maybe a Tron theme for Speedway by 2021? [Here] and [Here]
- in the artwork for Tron, the Speedway still exists -- this is a sign it isn't being removed as some sites have rumored [but the artist's rendering of Tron doesn't show what the overhauled Speedway will look like, there's separate unreleased art for that.]

Bees are a part of the laughing place segment in the film, although there's nothing to do with honey. In the ride, they replaced the tar baby with honey as B'rer Fox's means of capturing B'rer Rabbit.
