I’m talking about the towers and fountains and all those parts that made up the whole, but I agree that the fins are a good first step towards a coherent TL!

I can somehow understand Buzz, stich, maybe not monsters inc... BUT TRON?!?!! who thought that IP could be a cool one to add?? make the same ride and make it IP-less. Wich kid knows tron? wich adult likes tron?
By the way, I love the new retro-futuristic style. Hope it affects all the land, including the speedway. They can borrow some ideas and styles for the now going to be extint Future World
And please. remove the blue fake moutain-rock on the entrance. Leave it empty (or give us the waterfalls again!)

My kids like wind in the willows...
Just because something isn't hugely popular doesn't mean it lacks appeal. Some things are just easy to like and enjoy and thus can stick around well past their "prime".

This all goes back to what we've said before, IP is not nearly as important as execution. You can have a fantastic IP and execute poorly...and get mediocre results. You can have an unpopular or "forgotten" IP and knock a home run with a well-executed attraction. The two aren't completely disconnected...popular IP + great execution = a grand slam.

Ugh my childhood... I adored Wild Ride... I'll never get over it being closed...never.
I did ride it in Disneyland though, I cried but only because of allergies, I swear.

By streamlining the entrance more, getting rid of the roof doo-dads, and (eventually) removing the chrome fins, you can have a streamlined grey, white, purple, and blue color scheme, with waterfalls at roof height, keeping some of the rocks, and mixing it in with new natural landscaping.

Without those fins and stuff on both sides, the new entrance sign frames Astro Orbiter nicely- at least from a certain angle. With all the planets lit, it just might make for an amazing entrance. I like your roof-level waterfalls.

That’s kind. I do hope the lights in the new sign can change color to the blues and purples in the rest of the land.

My youngest has been enjoying The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad on the regular for the last 5 years. It's one of his favorites!

TRON works perfect for a rollercoaster experience though. It's probably one of the most well-known Sci-fi movie franchises Disney has made (and not needing to go elsewhere for the IP) plus I'm sure we're getting it here because a lot of the R&D budget already went into the Shanghai one.
You don't need to know a complex plot to enjoy it, or even know about the movies. The idea of being sucked into an arcade game is about as simple a plot as possible. It has a VERY specific style that people love though.
Additionally, Daft Punk provided an amazing futuristic soundtrack that really enhances the experience as well (having said this, I have not personally been on the ride in Shanghai, only seen videos)

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
I’ve also only seen videos, but I too think TRON will be a perfect fit aesthetically.
Buzz, MILF, and Stitch ... not so much.

I get the problem with MILF, but outside of the fact that they’re based on animated IP, I don’t get the issue some people have with Buzz and Stitch. Perceived quality of the individual attractions aside, there’s no denying their basis in science fiction.

Y’all. Found these on Twitter. The sign looks fantastic!

Buzz is totally based off the space-age astronaut hype during the Cold War (hence why he's designed to be opposite of Woody) and Stitch is literally an alien criminal who crashlands on Earth, stalked by both his creator, a galactic federation, and a CIA Operative. They're both superbly sci-fi, but only the former ride really goes that route. It would be cool to have a Stitch dark ride in SGE's place.

Stitch is a bit of a stretch for me. No doubt it has lots of sci-fi elements, but it doesn't really take place in the future.
