News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[GimpYancIent]

Not fair enough. It’s his usual baseless bullocks. The site plan for the project has been published. We know what they’re doing.

True every one that can read knows what they're doing. The question is do "they"?

I have heard from a reliable source that the parks are never finished.

Completely disagree, and you used an image of Tron - from what will be it's worst angle while still under construction to illustrate your point.
Tron is going to be the most beautiful thing in Tommorowland, which is greatly in need of something to bring it up to speed.

I’m totally with you in that I think that from within Tomorrowland that Tron is going to be fantastic. The beauty of the canopy and the kinetics of the ride will add to the land quite a bit and the show building with be less obvious unless you are making an effort (your eyes will be drawn to the canopy not behind it).

I also think that they should be able to add enough trees to make the show building less noticeable from the circus and pathway. It will certainly be there and able to be seen but having trees in between will make it look more distant as it’s the top half of the building above the trees. Especially since your attention will be drawn to the right side toward the canopy/lights/motion

Maybe I’m naive but it doesn’t look like you’d need all that many trees in the left side of that picture to block off most of the building.

Again, where would the trees be placed?

Right next to the trees that are already there?

Those trees are on the sloping banks of the retention pond. You’d have to replace them to make more room.

Fair enough, you asked



And I addressed all your points. The answer of course is 'Yes' some people will think "Yes" as it's all subjective. To be honest though I don't think you really wanted a debate but were merely saying you don't like it.

I take it that it's not the first time your Grammar has been picked up on?

And a very good day to you too

Not at all i have actually be comended once people hear me in person because my speaking and vocabulary is above par but with writing its pretty tragic. I can read rather well too but again grammar just never stuck when i was younger. I was the child that read every text book front to back but still had the worst hand writing in class.

My point was not to say tron (the ride) sucks just that i feel its a poor use of the space. I have never been to Shanghai and it is a beautiful tommorow land however the coaster seemed (in pov form) very short to me. Im not here to trash disney however i do disagree with alot of there (what version should i use?) recent decisions. However i voice my opinion because i legitimately care. The same passion that i will bash Busch gardens for not opening iron gwazi etc.

Where is the cryogenic tomb?

Could that not be done?

Under the merry go round

 

[lazyboy97o]

It’s the sort of thing that would have made more sense when the tracks were ripped up so you could bring in larger trees and equipment. It’s also a rather narrow patch of land that you’d probably want to be more sizable to better accommodate larger trees.

 

[No Name]

the ride isnt finished, we dont know if they are planting trees to cover the sight lines. How about people chill out until things are closer to being done?

Though it might be better than nothing, planting super tall trees to block the building from the monorail view (or views from around the resorts and lagoon) would essentially create the same problem of diminishing scale. Similar situation for the coaster at Epcot from across the lake. It would be nice if they blocked a few views like the one from Storybook Circus, but they can’t do much about 90% of the other views.

Martin has already posted past plans that show the pond filled in. Like they have done elsewhere. They shift wetlands, ponds and waterways all the time.

Not that I think trees will be the eventual solution. But it could very well be a stop gap. See the Galaxy's Edge berm for the latest of Imagineering's answers to such problems.

You don’t need to prove to me that you don’t know a thing about construction.

For me it’s not how much more thrilling Velocicoaster is than Tron. It’s how much it is better integrated into its space than
Tron.

When they first announced Velocicoaster, I thought it would look incredibly out of place next to the welcome center and that a rollercoaster in the Jurassic park section would stick out like a sore thumb. But not only does it not distract from the welcome center, it actually frames it incredibly well and brings attention to a previously ignored building:

Tron, while the canopy I have no doubt will be incredibly beautiful, has no regard for the space around it. The canopy will be obscured from much of Tomorrowland, while the show building will have its whole @ss sticking out when viewed from Storybook Circus with no effort from Disney to hide it:

Universal took time and effort to design and integrate Velocicoaster. Disney copied Tron from Shanghai and plopped it down in a plot without much regard for sight lines. And it’s taking more than twice as long to build as Velocicoaster. As much as I know I’ll enjoy Tron when it opens, the lack of attention to detail from Disney is completely unacceptable.

How would it look with a 5 story lighting rig and 4 breaching metal whales in front of it?

Perhaps it was someone else. Wasn't there at least consideration of using the area beyond the Fantasyland train station as an expansion area filling in the pond? I could have sworn you posted drawings and talked about it even recently. Perhaps it was Lee. Or another insider.
