Replacement for Tomorrowland Speedway?

[bclane]

Am I the only one here who hasn't thought about Tron since the 1980s?

I recommend that you consider checking out Tron Legacy. It's pretty cool! And if not the whole movie, you might want to at least check this scene out as it is the one that inspired the ride:

if Tron did go over the speedway they almost have to redo the speedway. to some type of electric vehicle. can you imagine the fumes from those cars just getting stuck in the glass canopy above? talk about bad news..

Gasoline fumes are heavier than air.

Exhaust fumes tend to rise due to temperatures

Actually, it would be kind of cool for the speedway to be re-themed to lightcycles.

It will no longer be the "Speedway." Thankfully that thematic disaster is being eliminated.

Edit: My source called it the "Tronway."

The end result will be something quite akin to...

Wow. I kind of predicted this, by accident.

It will be an near direct lift from Shanghai, with the outdoor section.

I'm screaming (in my head, because I'm at work and don't want to scare people)

THAT IS SO PRETTY!!!!!!

ARE WE REALLY LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET THAT??????

Or... Put the movie on mute and just play the soundtrack over it.

Careful. I think they mean design aesthetic-wise. Not chassis-wise.

This is sounding better and better every day. Can't wait for the announcement tomorrow!

I was planning on only listening to the French concept album of Les Mis (happy Bastille Day, everyone), but just switched to this (Daft Punk is French, so I'm still covering the correct bases). I am pumped.

Careful. I think they mean design aesthetic-wise. Not chassis-wise.

I am a-ok with this. As long as the cars are electric (can't have gas cars in the grid), I'm good.

WHOOOOOO TRON!

An "Adult" Tron Ride, and a "Kid" Tron ride is the best we could have hoped for. I really hope it's true.

The soundtrack is glorious that's for sure.

 

[misterID]

Still think it should have been a Black Hole coaster.

I'm just hoping we get a decent remake as that's one of my favorite Disney films. And hopefully they keep the darkness of the original.

Derezzed is my fav song from the track and I love Daft Punk.

Whoa... Hopefully Tronway won't just be some gussied up lawn mowers, too.

If I had to hazard a guess, I would fully expect Disney to make them electric or some other cleaner energy source. It would go in line with the theming, be "greener", and remove the smell problem.

Cool thanks! I think this thread has actually inspired me to watch both of them at some point. At least the first one for our next pizza and movie night.

Cool! Just prepare yourself... the first one is VERY cheesy and dated by today's standards. Everyone I know (that didn't grow up with the original) prefers the second one...by a longshot.

Derezzed is my fav song from the track and I love Daft Punk.

My favorites (right now) are probably The Grid, End of Line, C.L.U., and the Game has changed but the whole soundtrack is great. I will thoroughly enjoy just hanging out in the Tron areas people watching and listening to the music. Adding Tron to MK is a dream come true for me.

perhaps something similar to a Test Track ride system but family friendly(meaning a slot car type electric car). Bring back the Rocket Rods name

I finally watched the movies 3 years ago, and if you feel like marveling at the advances over computer generated imaging over the past 30 years, look no further than Tron. Since your son is younger, it might be important to mention that when Tron came out, it had the best and latest effects. Actually, Disney tried to get it nominated for special effects at the Academy Awards, but members of the Academy thought the CGI was cheating.

Tron: Legacy has some of the best de-aging of an actor that I've ever seen (tied with Kurt Russell in GotG 2 and Michael Douglas in Ant-Man)
