Mystic Manor has almost nothing to do with Animals and Conservation. It does not fit in AK what so ever.
1992. Splash.

I think it's a bit of a stretch to say that the Tron coaster, while certainly a good and fun addition, will be as significant as the AAA heavy, immersively themed Splash Mountain.

I think it's more the personality of the person posting.
You have guys like @marni1971 who are forthcoming about almost anything- blue sky, just tossed around, etc- and lays it all out there.
Then you have guys like @WDW1974 who is also constantly throwing out truths with a massive edge and opinion (which I used to dislike but now find entertaining- it's great).
Then you have guys like @whylightbulb who speaks very little, but when they do- you better listen- because his track record is impeccable. Others could be like him- only saying concrete things, but they choose to toss in loose rumors as well.
@Lee @articos and @Magic Feather are the other 3.
Outside of them, everyone else just regurgitates what others say.
Guys like Jim Hill I think are more like Martin in that he gives a lot of information- some that might even be "loose rumors" floating around wdw with a dose of spirit. To think he doesn't have sources and hear things is naive at best. He just likes to daydream and toss out opinions as well. The key difference is he gets paid. Our dear Martin does it simply because he's awesome.
Regardless, I trust our 6 guys morewe have a badass group. Love the info from all of them.
I agree. I meant it'll alter traffic patterns and park views as much as Splash did.

I think a Mystic Manor style ride at AK would work but making the rider set somewhere inside an ancient temple hosted by a male witch doctor and a tiger cub.

I agree with all of this! I will say though I feel that @marni1971 sits on info more than hill does so that when Marni states it on here the idea is far more concrete than a passing thought at imagineering! Hill has a trouble with just stating whatever is the talk of the day I feel which leads many to think he has no leads.I think it's more the personality of the person posting.

It's certainly possible the MK version will be a bit different and possibly longer. It doesn't necessarily have to be a straight clone.

unfortunately i doubt they'd put it that close to the road, opening up that much park space
though this position would be great as it would allow for a second attraction
would be nice to remove one thing and replace it with two, but unfortunately it seem disney typically keeps things one to one or removes 2 and only adds 1

I wonder if the outside portion of Tron will go over the railroad and partially over the new Speedway, integrating the two attractions. Then the Tron building doesn't have to be so far back.

Mystic Manor is one of my favorite rides! I don't understand why they don't put the Society of Explorers and Adventures in the U.S parks more.

It could because the whole theme is about exploration and adventures. That particular ride just deals with one of the adventurers.

AGREED. I have thought this about Hill for a while, he reports on everything and anything, sometimes it works out other times it is just water cooler talk. Marni, 74, lightbulb, Lee, Wild Cat, ect. we have here tend to hold up on their info until it is more likely. Not saying it always works out but it has given them a much better track record than Hill IMO.

I just hope that Disney has thought long and hard about this TRON decision. I'm getting the vibe that this will turn into another RnRRC in about 5 years. It's short and kinda lazy. The novelty will wear off and people will be wishing it was something else. I know you could say that about any attraction they build, but this is the MK. This is going to be an iconic build, something that will be here here for decades. Until I see what they do with the entirety of Tomorrowland, color me cautiously pessimistic. I really hate to feel this way, but I really hope Disney knows what they are doing. But this decision as it stands right now just doesn't sit well with me. Let's hope and pray it all works out.

Yes, to be clear, I was thinking more of a Matterhorn style "two different tracks racing" rather than a Dueling Dragons "you're going to crash against each other" idea. I would think that tracks that kinda race would work for Tron.
I mean, the main conceit of the light cycles is that they are used in competition so I think having two different colors competing actually fits better with the source material.
Also, two tracks should up capacity.
Isn't that standard operating procedure with attractions lately?

seems like the logical choice for expansion.
