I may be reading your post incorrectly, but @Lee is considered to be a pretty reliable insider, much like Martin. He hasn't been too active for awhile, but he definitely knows what he's talking about.

When the first movie came out, our only computer was an original Mac with a dot matrix printer. Video games were still mostly in arcades. There was no internet to speak of.
So this was an extremely ground braking movie at the time.

I love the score. It is so eerie and dark... the movie is so underrated. Would make an amazing dark ride.

I did see it, but vaguely remember the original.. the second one I haven't seen, didn't even know about until this site. Lol
I was replying to someone who isn't Lee.

It was and I have fond memories of watching it over and over again as a kid (and as an adult lol). I wish I could get my kids to love it too. At least they'll watch the OT Star Wars with me so I'm not a complete failure as a father. Lol!

I thought you were agreeing with the spirit of the post you were replying to, which was in response to Lee (as in, I thought you were calling Lee an off-site rumormonger and agreeing that both attractions seems unlikely lol). So I was indeed reading the post incorrectly. Carry on!

If the Tron Racers are aiming for the same demographic that Speedway was shooting for... I don't think their main customers would care.
No, but the black/blue aesthetic in general would be a no-go, for heat and sun concerns. Plus, I imagine they're still going to want some degree of landscaping around it. Kids won't care, or even have a concept of what Tron is, but unless WDI is fine with a "scene 1" for their new Tron show building that looks absolutely godawful except at night, the cars will either not be in/on "the grid" or else be a radical departure from anything we currently associate with the Tron aesthetic- mostly whites and grays.

Then now I'm confused. If people can't share a stated opinion on a forum, without fear of generating "false rumors" or being charged as a "runormonger" then what's the point? Lol. We could just read articles, and not discuss them.
YES!!
Iger did say that there are "many, many announcements in store" for the parks and resort panel tomorrow so hopefully a large contingent of things will be released!!
There's a difference between "This doesn't make sense, therefore Disney isn't going to do it."
And this: "This doesn't make sense to me. I hope Disney doesn't do it. And if they do, I'll be first in line to criticize them for it."

I'm assuming that means both lol. imo if it's like what @Lee said and what others have come to a conclusion from his evidence then it seems very exciting. That part of TL will look amazing. One problem though... can we please fix the transition from FL to TL. It's really bad now and I assume it'll get better with an updated speedway but the sight lines could be off.

Fair enough. Just know that Lee and Martin are generally very reliable posters with very established connections within the company. There's a reason that they have been posting on here for going on two decades and we still eat up their every word. They've proven themselves.
This close to announcement time, I would assume most of what they have heard and vetted to the point of sharing with us is pretty likely to happen.
Though, as usual in this industry, anything is subject to change - even once ground has been broken.
It would be nice. Now would be the time to address that. It seems that Disney is now much more aware of cohesiveness of lands (if maybe not so much for the front part of Epcot).

Except for.. that's not what I wrote... here's my actual comments-
But anyway.. don't want to veer off, just had to clear that up.
When two reliable insiders say it's happening, then you calling it 'slim chance' is irrelevant to the reality. You can think it crazy or hate it... that doesn't change the likelihood if the likelihood has already been established as likely.

I'm pulling for this scenario! Hopefully we'll find out tomorrow
