I voted for Mine-Cart Madness.

While I do think Tron is more "enjoyable" from a ride standpoint (DK is rough!), the theming of DK and overall feel of DK is better than Tron.
I still don't understand why we go outside on Tron. It makes no sense from a story point of view and that length of track could've been enclosed and involved the "game" a little more.

My guess is that kinetics and visuals it provides to the plaza are cool, but I agree that it would be better enclosed. The outside portion is also why people think the ride feels short. The ride length from launch to final brakes is the same as Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, but it feels shorter mentally because the theming you want doesn't start until 20 seconds in.

I agree about the kinetics but for a company that touts the story as being the most important thing, going into the Grid, hopping on a lightcycle to then be launched out of the grid to go "wheeeeee" and then back into the grid where the story kicks back in seems like a big break in that cohesive "story."

I think Tron is better at night for this reason. The lights on the canopy make it feel less like you are leaving the grid and going back in.
