Replacement for Tomorrowland Speedway?

[SteamboatJoe]

What, behind the rabbit?

It IS the rabbit!

Interesting that after all their hemming and hawing the TRON coaster seems to be confirmed. Not exactly what MK needs but I'll welcome it. At least it doesn't seem to be replacing anything. That's a nice surprise.

Go change your armor...

I had reservations about this being added in addition to Space Mountain originally but I'm gradually warming up to the idea. At least they are investing in and adding to the park as opposed to just re-skinning or replacing something.

Sorry, I meant it'll change guest flow and views both from and into the park as much as BTM and Splash did.

Will the railroad be rerouted around SM and Tron? (Both Splash and BTM affected the railroad I believe) This would make it much easier to make both rides ADA accessible.

Floridas does not have the infrastructure necessary for Hyperspace.

Yet.......

Be careful what you wish for.

To be honest I don't think a Star Wars overlay is really in the cards for Space Mountain but upgrades similar to that of Disneyland's Space Mountain are practically inevitable. It's been a long time since WDW's Space Mountain has gotten a major referb and it's wayyy overdue.

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.

Could we get some Dinos as a result?

How many miles from Epcot to the MK?

Since the dinos in UofE are supposed to be leaving, a Primeval World on the WDW RR would be great. It beats seeing them going into a dumpster.

I am not careful in that respect. I want Space Mountain to get that refurb.

Agreed. I absolutely love the trains at MK but they need to do something to improve the WDW RR experience. I don't know if dinosaurs are necessarily the answer but it needs something.

In Martin we trust!!

Hail Martin the seeker of truth and the sage amoung the fanboys.

Behind is great it means they are *gasp* adding somthing! Mabye that fantasyland to tomorrowland walkway will have a purpose finally

 

[Indianajonze]

i hope tomorrowland speedway doesn't close. it seems pretty popular actually. always a nice 30-40 min wait when we're there. ritual is to get a sundae from auntie gravity's and eat it while on the line. to me all they really need to do is replace the gas cars with electric, install some anti-tip tech to get rid of the tracks and be done with it. still very fun experience

 

[Cake]

I'd prefer a ride involving The Incredibles! Still a futuristic theme, while sticking to traditional MK culture

But I'll take Tron

 

[Princess Leia]

One of my WDW friends (who sadly while great at her job, works on the Great Movie Ride) is hearing that it's a replacement, not an addition. I'm assuming that she's hearing things through the grapevine incorrectly, but I don't exactly want to call her out on it on FB...

Seriously, D23, get here soon.

I feel like @WDW1974 already suggested that the RR was getting enhancements as part of the "50 things for the 50th", though he didn't say that it was specifically going to be dinos being added.

Would make sense that if they are going to close the RR to add the Tron ride (seems like they'd have to) then they might as well add some stuff along the railway path while they are at it. and if UoE is going to close and not need its dinosaur AAs....

 

[flynnibus]

Isn't that site banned BECAUSE its a rumor mongering website?

No - they get banned due to the inactions with the key individuals behind the site(s).

They could also have the additions function as scrims for future adds that might be happening some day.

'pre-scrims' if you will.

 

[wdwgreek]

It would be swell if the railroad used the downtime to theme the ugly unthemed concrete bridge you always casually go under and bring the dinos over.

Im told that space mountain is confirmed getting bulldozed ...

I guess it is possible that the building is beyond its shelf life.
