News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

It's not a natural structure like Splash, Big Thunder, Flights of Passage etc., where a box needs to be hidden by natural elements.
It's not located in Fantasyland where the box needs to be hidden by storybook elements.
It's premise is a manmade theme - a computer as sterile as sterile gets - and it is located in Tomorrowland where it is amongst other manmade looking structures.
I don't find some views of a square structure to be out of place at all.
Not only does it fit Tomorrowland - it greatly enhances it.

Have you actually watched TRON: Legacy? The premise takes place inside an old brick building. Where are the other warehouses in Tomorrowland? The buildings of Fantasyland are also man-made. The most famous, beautiful works of architecture are man-made. A standard warehouse is hardly considered to be strong design.

I 100 percent agree but as of right now it can be seen from the Fantasyland station. I hope there will be elements to help hide it from the station but I think it fits well with Tomorrowland!

Mansion and Pirates were definitely harder to see, but you were practically right over IaSW. The roof was very easy to see... and it looked like the roof of a big warehouse.

It certainly demonstrates how standards, expectations and perceptions have increased in the last 50 years.

That's an interesting perspective. Not sure I agree but I do wish it were not in plain view or as boxy in design.

Pics today of the multi shade go away grey install.

I saw this structure when we were there a few weeks ago and hoped it was only temporary construction rigging. This is disappointing it’s a permanent feature. This is the only thing they can do with it IMO

I hope so as well, and the word that was posted here some time back was that there is a plan for planting to obscure the view from this station.

Anyone know when in the process the canopy was added for Shanghai? Are we a ways off still?

In photos of the canopy construction in Shanghai, the building appears to be fully enclosed, so I would assume some time in the near future after all the exterior panels are installed.

They've added more signage.

It'd be better if the DVC logo still had the "best kept secret" motto.

Tron coaster coming to Magic Kingdom's Tomorrowland

Concept art: http://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/tron/gallery/16jul2017-tron-concept-art/30589.htm

Continuation from the original rumor thread at Replacement for Tomorrowland Speedway?

It would be cool, if daft punk would do new music for this ride,

After seeing the photos, I knew I would immediately see complaints about "The Box". You all didn't disappoint. I'll just withhold comment until the whole thing is complete.

Today.

Thanks for posting, but imagine how much more picture data you'd get if you turned your phone sideways and shot in landscape...

 

[Doug Means]

when is this ride scheduled to be open?

Going to the original post that created the thread, "in time for the 50th anniversary" in 2021. So next year on or before October 1, 2021.

I've always wanted to visit in October. The weather is nice, I get to wear a "its my birthday!" button around, check out HHN across the street...

But something tells me Oct 2021 might be a little busy...

You think? Yeah. I'd agree with that.
