News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[DCLcruiser]

Sure you can, but there are obviously a bunch of guests who don't do that, so it'll still have a big effect. It's not like 7DMT doesn't still get relatively long wait times even with the ILL option.

Agreed. I think it was 60 min this past week. I didn't ride it. Not my favorite, and not worth the wait or $.

I think it's a fun little attraction that I enjoyed riding with a FastPass, but I definitely wouldn't wait 60 minutes to ride. Nor would I want to pay $15-20 for it.

I think I expected more scenes throughout the ride. It's decent and then there's the little scene at the end.

It would be a much, much better ride if there were more scenes (which would also make it longer, which is another problem). It's nowhere near as good as it should have been, but it was enjoyable enough to ride when I could just walk on with no wait.

I'm happily surprised at all of the plantings and greenery around Tron, and they're not even done yet.
I didn't expect so much greenery.

I do wish that they would put in a water feature of some sort (not counting the restrooms either).

What do you think would fit best? Something like TL's kugel ball fountain, Epcot's jumping fountains, or ? I'd love something like MK's original Tomorrowland entrance (except designed not to accidentally spray everywhere). Obviously it would need to be TRON-ified.

Love how track work for the hub coaster at Epic Universe will be partially completed by the time this opens lmao

Honestly, at the pace they are going, Sea World Orlando may have announced, constructed, tested, and opened two separate coasters in the time between when Tron was announced and when Tron opens...

yea but they are both very lightly themed, outdoor coasters without a massive and beautiful (imo) canopy and equally massive raised pedestrian footbridge taking you 20-30 ft in the air and over a railroad

Yeah. The best rides are always measured in how long it takes to build them.

I don't think he meant to imply that the sea world coasters were better than a Disney attraction, just that they were built faster.

Though there will definitely be us specific population that will say the SeaWorld coasters are better.

I agree with his observation that it will be interesting to see whether or not SeaWorld's newest coaster opens before Tron. Looking at its rapid construction I'm getting a sense that it will.

A basic fountain mixed with color changing lighting or a cascade that is also. Using the lighting, they could almost make it seem electrified. It's just that they have the nice trees placed and the sound of water would bring some additional life to the area.

Looking forward to riding this if it ever gets completed.

You don't need a sneak peak. You can already view the ride at Shanghai. The opening is breathtaking, but from then on i don't think it beats Hagrid's.

Word of warning - don't go watch their versions of Peter Pan or Pirates of Caibbean - you'll be fuming how next level they are compared to the dross servings at Florida.
