Looks incredibleI hope the SoCalAttractions360 guy puts up a video for it. His are the best.
Can anyone say if this is enough space for that ride?

I'm sure it's an attraction Shanghai wants to keep exclusive though so this is all moot.
Theoretically this could allow them to remove Jack Sparrow from the classic version. Just sayin'.
I just watched this maybe ten times. Pirates looks like the most amazing ride I've ever seen. Completely blown away.

A small side note from the Shanghai discussion, as of now 3 of the top 5 worldwide grossing releases of 2016 are all Disney (Zootopia, Jungle Book and Civil War), and there's still Alice, Finding Dory, Rogue One & Moana to come.

I believe the only things not open yet are the Wandering Moon restraunt, Marvel/Star Wars additions (no surprise these all started late and were the only things actually "added" from the 800 million). Have yet to see Dumbo and Roarin' Rapids with riders. I'm nearly certain both will make opening, may have just been weather related as those were two of the rides that were on-schedule previously.
There is still lots of last minute landscaping work to be done, operational stuff, concrete work and touch ups.
BUT despite the park being a complete nightmare it's all come together in the 11th hour. The doom and gloom predictions unsurprisingly have failed to come to pass. That does not mean they were not valid at the time (the park very clearly fell even more behind), but a lot of double shifts and outside labor have helped turn an impossible situation around.
Hopefully the park performs well (seems like the local interest is there) and we can forgot about the bumpy road. I also hope this means the really bad cuts to the NA parks can reverse.

My biggest fear is that Shanghai will be a hit, but Disney figures they can keep the current cuts in place, because people are coming no matter what they do. From a profit standpoint, that's Disney's ideal situation. For us the rest of us? Not so much.

In one of the clips you can hear the coqui :,) as a Puerto Rican it's nice to hear that detail included in an attraction that is supposed to take place in the Caribbean.

Coqui is a little frog in Puerto Rico that makes a "coqui" noise. At night time you hear the constantly. Such a small but great detail for Disney to pick up on.

I wonder if that position in the tron coaster is comfortable for a fast moving vehicle.

What part of the park is this location? It would be cool if they could have the new pirates up by TòT along with a new HM.Looks incredible

And to think it was rumored for MK at one point. Looks very cool.

Based on the same ride setup at coney island and knotts berry farm, I would say no.

It's right behind the current Pirates.

Those are Zamperla's version. I haven't seen it very firmly stated but Disney tends to go with Vekoma for roller coasters. It is possible, but I personally do not think it is likely, that this is a Golden Horse coaster.

A frog that's native to Puerto Rico and at night they come out and fill the air with the noise co Qui co qui. And at the beginning of this attraction when leaving the mercado area you can hear them in the background. Such a clever small detail

You can sell me on steampunk and the Jules Verne as a land. Easily done.
But you can't sell me on tron as something viable for Orlando or Anaheim

Maybe it's just me, but Tron looks nice but nothing all that special. The coolest thing is that it goes outside which will make for a great visual for the land (especially at night) but the ride itself just has some fairly generic lighting/effects. I think it would have been cooler if they had two separate tracks that intertwine, with one being blue and one yellow, especially if they could have worked in the "leaving wall behind" effect with that. I'm sure it will be a perfectly good roller coaster, especially given the relatively uncommon seating configuration.
Pirates looks fantastic though.

When the Tron ride was being considered for MK, where was it going to go? I seem to recall it was going to replace Laugh Floor and utilize the expansion pad behind that building. It does seem like it would add a cool kinetics and aesthetic to the land it is in by going in and out of the building. Apparently, though, something Tron themed might be being considered for Epcot.
