News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[tirian]

i just want them to finish the ride for next summer... hope the rumors are not true

Construction rumors are usually correct because every theme park construction company knows each other in Orlando, but with the way things keep changing, a rumor that was correct a week ago may be wrong tomorrow.

It’s honestly pathetic that they’re just throwing it in Tomorrowland here, the reason Tron even exists is because with Shanghai they wanted new attractions never been done before, and they could’ve done space but went with Tron because it was new, different and innovative, all words that don’t exist on this coast

They have to spread the costs you know? I mean they never make any money so they have to mitigate the development expense over multiple builds. No way they would greenlight one off stand alone e-tickets. Can't wait for pirates to get built here.....

Or on the monorail. Or at the Contemporary. Or BLT. Or on a bus. Or in Storybook Circus.

There’s a reason Space Mountain was built in the same location and designed to be seen from all sides. Has today’s WDI forgotten so much in 50 years?

I saw the Tron box walking from Adventureland today. It’s quite noticeable once you make the bend from The new club 33

Also very visible from the Treehouse supposedly. At least the canopy should cover it from that angle.

Right. The view from that direction inside the park should pretty much be the canopy/outside portion covering the blue box and would allow for that kinetic and showy element to predominate. In terms of inside the park it still seems to me that the biggest "problem" would be from the circus and the path between TL and the circus - and I'm hoping that they put some significant foliage there to help block that view.

What was the Tron box doing in Adventureland? Pirates?

Hey, @lazyboy97o, maybe the canopy will wrap the gravity building and hide it from public view!

Why is bioreconstruct wasting time on Tron, I want more pictures of ospreys on top the Jurassic Park coaster.

Is the Signage for Tron Light Cycle run is up let?

No signage has been installed yet. Signage is typically done at the tail end of a project, or at least once the attraction’s exterior has been fully completed. I wouldn’t expect signage until much closer to opening. So maybe late 2021, but most likely 2022.

Is this building being constructed for the WDW version? It’s hard to tell if the materials in that spot right now are for the canopy or the beginnings of this structure.

Looks like the slab base of a building to me.

Still a bunch of concrete work as well as hardscape work to be done nothing updated as far as timeline. The canopy work will continue until completed. After that it's all up in the air if Disney will move the time line up or continue with the pause in construction.

Wow. Maybe they should have just added Tron to Storybook Circus.
