News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[RobotWolf]

I have not been over there to see that book in awhile ...

I missed that part of your reply. Long distance high-five!

There’s actually a pot to be shared between the four parks for celebration stuff. It’ll be a marketing dream. And not to be confused with any capex for attractions should they open in 2021-2.

You can actually get quite a lot of banners and pendants for xx million.

Or $50-75 a piece on eBay after the fact. I've got 5 Happiest Celebration on Earth signs.

Laugh all you want. We always visit in Summer around the end of August/beginning of September and the parks are dead.

That is literally the last remaining slow time of the year...and it's Twice as busy as it was circa 2000.

You've dug yourself a hole of an argument here that is not based in reality.

And based on what has played out so far this year...enjoy all that "walking on" your gonna do the next trip

Did a bit of field research. Looks like Tron theoretically tops out around near 1750-1800 riders an hour. Shanghai was running it comfortably around 1450-1500pph.

Moral of the story - Expect lines. Not flight of passage bad, thankfully.

Is there any chance of that Ant-man and the wasp overlay of Buzz coming to MK like in HK? @marni1971 Or are those characters part of the Marvel deal with Uni? I really like the concept art of that overlay

Not that I’ve heard of but of course I don’t hear anywhere near everything.

Thanks! Did you hear of anything other potential replacement for Stitch, MILF or Buzz? Hope at least one of them gets a good new ride for this "tomorrowland overhaul"..

Stitch is still a work in progress. Throughout this whole project Buzz and TLF have never been mentioned yet.

Thanks! Sorry, English is not my first language. Forgot Monsters Laugh Floor abbreviation is not a good word

I think what's important for a theme park IP attraction is not how good the movie's plot or success is, but the world that is created by the movie. That's why I'm excited about Tron, the world that they created is awesome. And the music

 

[GhostHost1000]

I will be shocked if they give TLC to Tomorrowland and leave the speedway as is in its current form...

then again...maybe not

Ant-Man is one of the original Avengers, so it’s not happening.

BlogMickey is over in Shanghai, and they just rode Tron twice with only positive things to say about it. To be fair, it's twitter, so it is difficult to actually build up anything more than a 10 word review.

 

[DisneyDodo]

I hope they follow through with the Tronization of the speedway - it should improve the overall theme of TL. A solid cybernetics presence will help balance out a space-heavy lineup featuring SM, AO, Buzz, Stitch, and Cosmic Rays.

Honestly, it feels like WDW as a whole is going to become excessively spacey with the forthcoming additions of SWGE, GotG, A.S.S., and the space restaurant on top of The aforementioned TL attractions, M:S, and all the existing Star Wars stuff at DHS (at least until they get rid of it)

You mean going from something that was thematically wrong for TL to something that fits? Yeah, that would be nice.

All that will leave are Stitch, MILF, Buzz, CoP, and Space Mountain needing work.

Yet, a coat of paint and TRON is a relaunch

 

[IMDREW]

@marni1971 and others. In the middle, between the TRON canopy and coaster building at Shanghai they have that small building with the white waves in front of it. If I'm correct thats where they have the TRON realm or something like that, with those Chevrolet cars on display. Will that same building be built in WDW? Or will that whole part of the canopy be covering the speedway? It doesn't look like that building needs to be part of the attraction..

I always thought summer was the busy season.

 

[HauntedPirate]

I always thought summer was the busy season.

The former "busy times": MLK weekend (more recently, not a traditionally busy time). President's Day weekend. Spring break (late Feb thru early April). Easter weekend. Mid-May to mid-August. The week of Thanksgiving. Christmas thru New Year's.
