News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[marni1971]

I'm not arguing otherwise. Tron isn't and wasn't planned for 2020. It was planned for mid to late next year always.

Not always. Originally it was spring 2021.

 

[Disgruntled Walt]

Not always. Originally it was spring 2021.

So what's your ballpark estimate for an opening date?

I imagine they still want to have it open by October

Yes it will be open for the 50th anniversary if they even have a 50th Anniv celebration.

 

[celluloid]

my take away Is all timelines are fluid for any Disney parks capex right now. And to be fair any theme park operator would tell you the same thing right now.

With Disney's leadership, it is more like Diariah.

1. Ratatouille!
2. Let’s see...Art of Animation Refurbishment! We didn’t strip all the charm out of this one!
3. Um, New Bag check at Animal Kingdom!
4. (Furiously checks notes) Disney Jr Motorcade!
5. Did we mention Ratatouille? How long do we get to count Rise if the Resistance for? It’ll still be less than a year old...

 

[HauntedMansionFLA]

They don’t need to boost attendance with a major new attraction when the park can only operate at a fraction of its full capacity.

Opening and marketing Tron right now would waste thousands if not millions in potential attendance.

They are getting ready for 2021. Epcot will have several new attractions to help draw crowds away.
Plus, they say there is a new vaccine available for the people who demanded it be available.

They will. Assuming things don’t get worse globally and Florida gets its act together soon.

Did you quote the wrong person? None of this has anything to do with what I said.

 

[CastAStone]

It sounds like a fair characterization of the major new attractions is something like:

• Remy - Fall 2020
• Guardians - Spring/Summer 2021
• Tron - Summer/Fall 2021
• Play! -Fall/Winter 2021 or early 2022

Is that fair?

There will also be a Splash Mountain redo but given that they haven't even closed it yet I think we can assume it's not coming out by 2021?

 

[rle4lunch]

Looks like 2022 will be the year to go. We've booked our December 2020 trip already, but we've decided 2021 DVC points are to Aulani, with a few trips to DL since we're in SoCal for the next couple years.

I’m not sure I’d call that a new attraction. From what I’ve gathered on their progress to date, I’m not sure it will even close in 2021 let alone reopen.
