    News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

    they reclaimed all they could for that area, drainage pond would still have to be there no matter what to maintain the 10% storm capacity. there are pockets of land but they are not here. whilst id love to see the smelly car thing go, and it seems they have future proofed tron to add more if it...

    News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

    Unlikely, if any ride was going to get a public soft opening, it may well be Rewind, since its high capacity. im not sure the same can be said for Tron. So it will follow similar previews Cast Members>>> Media>>>Club 33/Golden Oaks>>>DVC (who can take a guest i believe)>>>>AP(only) Previews...

    News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

    Based on the Shanghai timetable, there's an unusual three month gap before dummy testing. We could well see dummy testing ramp up as soon as they finish the last 8 pieces of roof this coming week, even before the atrium section is done. If everything is moved forward 8-10 weeks compared to...

    News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

    I say this with the utmost respect to both of you, but if their original intent was to have Rewind open BEFORE the promotion period, and Tron/Rat Ride open at the start, what possible advantage is there to waiting until the end of that period when you want people in the parks for those 18months...

    News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

    The 50th celebration promotion has fallen on it's the past 6 months, my projection of Grand Opening by October is very conservative given the pace of construction I have been tracking. Ask yourself why Disney would be working hard over Easter weekend if they had no desire to to open the ride...

    A launch doesnt have to be high acceration or high speed. https://blogmickey.com/2022/04/guardians-of-the-galaxy-cosmic-rewind-first-impression-and-ride-description/

    News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

    I literally used a slow LSM for the second launch, but I have heard about about a second launch roll back today so not expecting it to be drive tyres as that would be extremely worrying

    News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

    This tracks with what I had on my model, and the second launch. Few teething problems today but this is why they test with Staff and not real guests

    I'm sure the minimum launch speed is a lot less to get up to that gravity building with empty train

    News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

    Perhaps they don't feel they need a record to sell the ride or want to get into the weeds when they have several other indoor coasters open or nearly open. When me and Jack were researching his video we struggled to find anything that comes even close. I think the longest I could find in North...

    They don't follow the same path....half the ride is completely different path, this is like saying Duelling Dragons was a racing coaster. The stretch of land appears to North of topgolf along universal boulevard. This is definitely not a phase 1 stretch of land
