Replacement for Tomorrowland Speedway?

[Bocabear]

the TRON ride in Shanghai is SICKENING!!!!!! Such a dope ride!

It looks really great, but it is super short...and the outside portion iff you are riding during the day would be really distracting and odd.

are we really saying that SM is better than TRON??? come one now. Ill always love SM and the nostalgia of it all...but u cant compare the 2. Its like apples and oranges (to me). TRON is far superior IMO

Tron works in SDL because Tomorrowland there doesn't have a Space Mountain...

Your final image is closest

Still not saying it'll happen though.

Colder or warmer?

TRON coaster would not work for Magic Kingdom. It would take away from Space Mountain and it's experience. It is the marquee attraction in Tomorrowland.

That problem is easily solved.

It looks like a giant worm from Tremors is attaching the Magic Kingdom.

Space Mountain didn't have a chance! Don't you hate it when a lead character you like gets eaten? We knew the Speedway would eventually leave from the moment we saw it. But I had hopes that Space would survive a couple sequels at least.

Space Mountain is too iconic to go away...and at it's core it is a really great ride... Just needs some work...but the heart of the ride is pretty teriffic. I wouldlove to see them put some money back into the show scenes as well...Maybe repurpose what is left in the warehouse from Horizons and use them in the show scenes on the speedramp...Home of future living part deux....

I really hate missing Space Mountain everytime I go to the MK. It just doesn't even register anymore for me. I get too beat up on it (I know some will argue it's safe, and I have no doubts, nothing has happened, but I'd feel a lot better with a full track replacement). I'd love nothing more than a full refurb. A true refurb. Thanks a lot Phil Holmes ...

Don't forget Meg...

And to believe they actually gave that woman a Main Street window...

Either way they would be replacing Tomorrowland Speedway.

And if you can't agree with @jt04, THERE'S THE DOOR!

There are many, many, many, many, many more people who disagree with the Speedway being replaced than agree with Frank. But don't let that dissuade you from such outlandish statements.

Who can ever forget Meg...lol At least they didn't do a painting of her and place it in one of the gift shops like some Disney execs....

I'm surprised they did not give her more as she was the architect of the 'cost cutting' model which has done so much damage to WDW and enriched TDO executives with bonuses for cutting the details which made WDW well WDW.

Don't give them ideas, They may do a mosaic of her in BLT II if that ever gets built...

The only reason she should be around a window on Main Street is to wash it.

Well, I agree the Speedway has it's place but they could update it. Maybe they will but we know they've looked at replacing it. How seriously I have no idea. But other castle parks are removing it, so it's probably not long for the world.

60 seconds my word that is short, is that really the length of the attraction? That's pathetic for a roller coaster, what is the capacity on it? It must be awful.

Rockin' Rollercoaster is only about 60-65 seconds from launch to brakes and Space Mountain (at DLP) is only about 70-75 seconds from launch to brakes... so, really not that short for a single launch coaster...
