I was very surprised when we rode Guardians 3 weeks ago for the first (& 2nd & 3rd) time. I loved how the large screens are used and the movement of the cars rather than just facing forward. The story is simple and the most of the queue is fun. I thought it worked wonderfully and is one of Disney's better efforts in recent years. We had ridden Tron the night before and feared for the worst for another new Disney coaster, but Guardians turned out to be great!

Agree, guardians is pretty good. I don't know that it's what space mountain was when it debuted back in the day or even what big thunder was when it debuted back in the day, but that doesn't take away the guardians is very good. Tron is very mediocre.

We rode Tron in Shanghai and loved it for it's newness....went on it a few times in a row... our takeaway after processing was that is could have been much better but it's just too too short, and the outdoor portion kind of takes away from the experience... We rode Guardians a few times and the takeaway was much more positive... We loved it so much and can't wait to ride it again... despite having been back to the MK, we have not ridden Tron... since it is a clone, we feel like we have done it...

It's a launch coaster...I'm not saying it's not short but in comparison the velocicoaster is like 5 seconds longer. Most launch coaster are pretty short with exceptions like Hagrid which I think disney needs a version of...themed to star wars speederbikes perhaps

Nonsense. You completely contradict yourself too, when you say ... 'with exception'

if the launch portion had all been in the Game Grid, it would not have felt nearly as short...it is the outside portion that divides the ride into two parts...making it seem like it doesn't begin until you actually get onto the "Game Grid" which is then over after a couple quick turns... After seeing how the Shanghai version turned out they should have improved the experience instead of direct clone...and placed it on one of the other WDW parks...

Not only that, but some coasters get their thrills not from big drops or inversions, but speed.

It seems that when a ride vehicle goes very fast, it winds up that the ride is very short. I wonder what the connection is? 🤔

Should all launch coasters that feature speed as their main source of thrill include sections in which the ride slows down for 'scenes'?

I liked the fast parts of Hagrid's. The slow parts.... not so much.

Penguin Trek just sitting there twiddling it's thumbs....

Granted it's a family coaster. But, launches are it's thing..And the only theming is the start and finish..

Speaking on behalf of the Penguin Collective, we disavow our brand from being associated with such a bland coaster.

You're just upset that there weren't any mackerels at the end.
