Replacement for Tomorrowland Speedway?

[Captain Neo]

The site which cannot be named is claiming that this is a confirmed project. Has its status changed from in consideration to the confirmed choice?

Isn't that site banned BECAUSE its a rumor mongering website? Literally the only reason this rumor has a shred of legitimacy in my eyes is because Martin is vouching for it.

What if you hop on the people mover and it takes you over to the Tron coaster.

 

[Prince Thomas]

So.

What if I said this isn't replacing the speedway?

Fine, but please tell me they are doing a huge overhaul of the speedway.

 

[dolphinforces]

Can the speedway be demo'd for the tron plaza and then have the show building "behind speedway"?

 

[HMF]

What changed recently that they want to invest so much in the American parks? Is it due to capacity issues or a realization that they neglected the American parks for too long?

I would hope the second. They are finally realizing problems that most of us on this board realized a decade ago.

That should be part of the project.

Where is the info that Speedway is getting electric cars coming from?




Oh, you thematic purist, you!

Common sense I guess. If they are updating the attraction, electric cars are a requirement.

Plus Martin said it was likely after I posted.

I am pretty sure it won't but I am no insider.

Man, it took me forever to catch up. First off, a big note is that this isn't plopping the ride down and adding a path to it. This is a part of a serious TL overhaul. And while Tron won't destroy SM, it may destroy its sight lines *from some angles*. Despite all of this, TL's future is definitely looking up.

I could see it as having a transit stop. Wouldn't have to get off but if you wanted to you could go to the gift shop or ride the roller coaster.

Thanks! Just PLEASE tell me they won't leave that big blocky show building poking up from behind the curvy awning like they did in Shanghai!

Would be really interesting if they ran the resort monorail through the land with a new stop. That would give the changes to "view and flow into and out of" the park. Gondolas would also work as a third means of transport to/from TTC. Rearranging the speedway would let them create a hub for Tron, SM, speedway and the new entrance.

 

[Captain Neo]

I can't elaborate at the mo. But if it goes to plan some will be shocked. This part of the park will be as changed forever as in 1980 and 1992.

Do you mean 1994?

30 min wait today.

 

[RobbinsDad]

30 min wait today.

Surely every person in line was a MK newbie. No other rational explanation.

 

[Prince Thomas]

A lot of people wanted brexit. But I digress.

LOL

 

[gamblepsu]

Not going to repeat what I said earlier in this thread.

Many of you don't realize MK is a place where families can come and have fun, together.

My two year old drove the car with me as a passenger. We had fun together. Replace this with a tron coaster and that doesn't happen until he's tall enough. And that is if he even likes roller coasters.

Yep, families of all ages.

Sorry. Way behind. I agree with the comments in principle but you are a little off with the point. I believe Walt didn't like the kiddie ride sections where HE wasn't allowed to ride

On a side note, can you imagine the alerts tab for @marni1971 in the last 10 pages? He must have had more likes, mentions, and quotes that I have had in 8 years.

Can't wait for this, I think it will be an excellent addition to tomorrowland.
