I see what you're saying, but to me it seems silly to make that jump for a mini land and an indoor rollercoaster when there's already one at the end of Sunset. Anyway thanks for the information, it's interesting to think about alternate proposals that were rejected.
Maybe that’s why it was rejected?

Could the Magic Kingdom have gotten a new ride that added more variety instead of Tron next to SM? Sure!
But considering all the stupid decisions happening right now (GotG in Epcot, closing GMR, possibly Indy in AK), I'm choosing to be happy about Tomorrowland ganing a new ride that feels futuristic, that isn't character-centric, that isn't replacing anything, and that's part of an update to a land that critically needs it.
The positives substantially outweigh the negatives

They aren't moving the retention pond, just the canal. That's what they're working on now, moving the canal from the front of the Tron plot, near the railroad, to the back of the poor, near the road
Yeah, Disney would never put two covered coasters so close to eachother!

I am patient, I’m simply wondering and my question was more posed at insiders who may know.

That seems odd anyway since a big selling point for Tron is the canopy and having the outdoor portion provide kinetic energy in the land. Isolating and hiding the ride devalues that.
It'll be somewhat to the side, sure, but it seems to me that the ride will be close to if not over part of the Speedway which will provide some nice views while riding that. And over the train berm -- even if the train is covered right under Tron, you should still be able to view Tron as you approach on the RR. And the canopy definitely goes over the walkway between TL and the Circus
They wouldn’t be so silly.
Speedway won’t be under the ride.There will be major congestions on the speedway under the canopy cause everyone will be looking up instead of forward

You could put Space Mountain in Future World...

Will the speedway get rerouted?
If so, anything major? Or just along the lines of the final curve that keeps getting shortened?

And the path to get to Tron?
The white part. Check the artist's rendering.
The path of the Speedway is changing, but because of the path to TRON, not because of the TRON ride itself.

Marni has previously said that rendering isn't very accurate.
That's why I'm asking if the current plans include major rerouting (a more exciting track layout) or just shortening some curves to fit the Tron plans. Seems the Speedway revamp has gone through many different propositions
The speedway shouldn’t be affected. Hopefully it will be altered by its own overhaul but I don’t expect the layout to change.
The TRON entrance has been proposed in several places.
That's an interesting thing to say. Do you mean that it could work like Shanghai (pathway from near current smokers path), or more of a direct route from a path that runs between Space and Tron kind of where the temporary exit is now?
Several options have been mooted for the "grand entrance path". Once they’ve built it I’ll go into the other options.
