It's over twice as fast. TRON goes 59 mph while WDW Space Mountain only goes 27 mph (Disneyland 35mph).

Perhaps you should stop riding roller coasters then. DL Space isn't rough in any sense of the word.
If any roller coaster at DLR is "rough", there's a better example in the same park. None are rough in the context of roller coasters in general.
If you don't like DL's Space, don't touch Florida's.

They're not adding any rides to Pacific Wharf, there's just no room for one.

They're adding no rides but spending a fortune to IP a land for no benefit other than telling themselves that their IP is in the parks more and that's all that matters.

You and me both. Unfortunately, they've decided that DCA is better off being their Legoland than a cohesive experience.

It actually took them two years and 11 months to build and open Cars Land.
The golden shovel ceremony was in July, 2009 and the land opened in its entirety in June, 2012.

What am I missing here? This Tron ride looks stupid. And it's only 60 seconds long.
I mean, sixty seconds might be okay for some folks who are desperate, but I always strive for a bit more.
Most motorcycle coasters are about a minute long. They are pretty old style coasters that rely on speed boasts to be thrilling. Looks like there are two speed boasts here. Disney's twist is guests are suppose to be looking at the geometry teacher's wet dream on the screens around them. I think it would be more fun if it was a rail coaster with some corkscrews.

From what I've read the ride vehicles and system were designed first and they later on in development decided to give it a Tron theme.

My perspective from someone who’s never seen Tron or been on the ride lol.
I appreciate the Tron ride for a few reasons:
Is it the perfect ride for the Tron IP? No. Do I want in Disneyland in its current form? No. But it has some good things going for it.
I appreciate the Tron ride for a few reasons:
- They don’t shove a ridiculous back story down our throat
- We’re not part of the story or being called “recruits.”
- The attraction name is as about as good as it get by modern Disney standards and it doesn’t contain any colons.
- The ride is experiential and repeatable.
- The rides primary motivation is to entertain and not driven by the Inclusion Committee.

It was going to be TRON from almost the very beginning. Disney expected TRON: Legacy to be a huge hit that would kick off a new franchise. The ride system existed beforehand because it’s just an update of Vekoma’s motorbike system.

It does have a whole backstory about you being a contestant in the games.

Oh. Well without having very much information, it doesn’t sound that ridiculous nor are we being called recruits. We re not going into Salt Mine mountain to help Tiana find a special ingredient for her employee owned Food Cooperative from 1929.
