News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom
- Thread starter wdwmagic
- Start date
Me too.
Thats why I’d prefer something more worthy and fitting of the IP.
Or at least put it in the right place.

I think Tron is fitting in what should be Tomorrowland, the problem is Tomorrowland isn't futuristic, a massive futuristic update to the Speedway and a better entrance from the north side by the Tea Cups i think would help give it more of a "Tomorrowland" feel. Also....think Carousel should be moved to EPCOT. Now i will run and hide.

2022 is much more reasonable considering the amount of work that has been done on the project. When I first saw the unedited post of yours , I was like what are they planning an edition to this? This project has already taken quite sometime partially due to the pandemic, but 2022 seems realistic in terms of an opening and that is a good thing because I will be planning some sort of vacation back to WDW in 2022.

13 for us with the grandsons. Tried to explain that there would be no way we will replicate that in Florida!

Aww... I love Philharmagic. Does the theatre really have the footprint?
I forgot I had put this in the multiquote. Sportslogos.net, the other forum I frequent, has a little button in the corner when you multiquote, but here it just sits in the bin and when you go to respond you get pleasantly surprised by all the posts you forgot.
Can they do that with the water table?
I mean... it does make sense.

I don’t know how efficient the ride is in California. Would it hypothetically bring in more people? Would probably be smart for them to look into.
I’d doubt it’d bring in more people. Which is a good think for the park of course.
And not that it would happen today.

Add Philharmagic to the list with Laugh Floor as attractions that could easily be relocated to DHS and make both parks better. IMO.

Remember that you have the utilities level that can be utilized, which the Mine Train already sort of takes advantage of with the way it dips down below the walkway level.
Even then, water table is not this impenetrable fortress right there under the dirt. It varies in its location and even then it can be dealt with, albeit at a cost. Even in the late 60s Disney built the water bridge connecting the Seven Seas Lagoon and Bay Lake (keeping water out is not much different than keeping water in). Every elevator shaft in Florida goes at least 5’-0” below the ground floor, which can be enough to intertwine a ride. There are attractions with basements such as Mission: SPACE, Alien Swirling Saucers, Transformers: The Ride - 3D, Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventures and the Bourne Stuntacular which was added to the existing building for that show.

Well, first off, I don't think we dare try to move COP. The temptation would be to just destroy it. I think MILFand Philharmagic are fine right where they are.

I meant in terms of acting as a capacity sink, not enticing people to come to the park. Just guessing, the theatre can probably hold more people per hour than a ride like Pinocchio. But before COVID, the theatre was rarely anywhere close to full. You look at Pooh and the lines are always upwards of 40 minutes. More people want rides than 4D shows.
They’d be wise to invest in the smaller dark rides. One in Philharmagic. Another in Fairytale Hall. They could maybe connect one to the backside of Circus. Get rid of Speedway and you could probably fit another around Teacups, with the rest of the space being used for a new Tomorrowland attraction.
There is so much valuable space being wasted in that park, when they could potentially add more or replace lesser attractions to clear up the paths.

The corresponding theater show in DL was converted to the Pinocchio ride, so it's presumably possible.
Updates yes. For the 50th.
