News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[gerarar]

It's crazy as to where time went...soon our views of the track will be obstructed soon by the impending (unthemed) showbuilding!!
Really hope they somehow wrap the canopy completely around, ugh. Also rip big tree, hopefully they plant some new ones later on.

They need to tighten up their security in Adventureland...

That big tree sure would've helped obscure the building a bit from that angle...

I wonder if we are going to get another green/blue box?

Blue...

Blue box behind the canopy probs

I believe it was torn down to allow construction equipment/vehicles to go through from Speedway.
But hopefully they replant some trees eventually!!

Legend has it there is a blue box. Very few people have ever seen it in Shanghai because it’s not clearly visible from any guest areas inside or outside of the park. However, I’ve enlisted the help of a secret spy to capture these certainly backstage photos!

Disney trying to hide the Tron show building behind the canopy

TRON Reality:

1. The ride is a beautifully art directed E ticket coaster that will deliver big time, while driving weight loss for many visitors.

2. Tomorowland is a visual disaster. With the lame new color scheme and partial rejection of Sci-fi update, the land looks more and more like an abandoned shopping center from a Brazilian Science Fair of 1972.

3. Space Mountain will now seem like a broken heap of track - desperately in need of a complete replacement of track and rockets.

4. Autopia will spoil the TRON exterior and add greatly to the visual and audible chaos.

"Speedway" is supposed to be overlaid with TRON Racers if the budget isn't cut with hopefully electric vehicles.

“Speedway” now that’s the problem. No one wants a speedway in their land.

So rules don’t apply to you then?

I hope you were banned.

Ugh.

Except almost every child...Kids love that track.

Except almost every child...Kids love that track.

Kids would love a completely overhauled futuristic expanded Speedway track even more...especially if it had sleek futuristic electric cars and wild and zany animated show sets... It is currently less than half the track length of the Disneyland version....which has newer vehicles and actual show sets. (though they are not amazing, they are something) WDW has the absolute worst iteration of this attraction in the world.

Kids love the track, but they'd love an update that wasn't a 1960's lawnmower engine throwback.

Yup. And easier to press pedals. That was basically my son's biggest complaint.

I first rode the Speedway when I was in third grade, the year WDW year opened.
I had fun, but it felt ancient even back then.
My sons last drove it when they were 13, with my wife and I as respective passengers - and we all had a blast, but we would have had a great time if the track and cars updated.
