News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[sedati]

It’s not just two coasters next to each other. Would you put Phantom Manor next to The Haunted Mansion?

Or Horizons next to World of Motion.

Or Horizons next to World of Motion.

If they were bringing back Horizons, I'd accept it in the middle of Fantasyland . Anywhere lol!

Never got to do it. The closest I've come is watching Martin's Ultimate Tribute video. I really, really wish I could have ridden it.

Or Horizons next to World of Motion.

Horizons was an updated World of Motion?

Well, they sure fixed that oversight...

Tron is not an updated SM

 

[lazyboy97o]

Tron is not an updated SM

Yes, it is. That is why it was built. That is its role in Shanghai’s Tomorrowland. You can think it distinct enough but to deny its purpose is just denying reality.

Its purpose is to entertain guests who want thrill. Not a Space Mountain. I won't deny that it has the same purpose as SM though. But just because they are both thrill rides doesn't mean they can't be together. I mean look at DL's Fantasyland! Crappy dark ride, crappy dark ride, another crappy antiquated dark ride, and, oh wait you guessed it: more antiquated dark rides!!!

Similar ride systems is not a big issue.

 

[EricsBiscuit]

Similar ride systems is not a big issue.

And so neither is a similar purpose.

 

[lazyboy97o]

You’ve already discounted experience several times. If you just want rides then be honest and say that.

 

[EricsBiscuit]

I've discounted experience? Haha. And when did I ever imply I "just want rides?" Tron fits, is an excellent experience (I should know as I've ridden it multiple times), and is an addition.

You just tried to reduce the discussion to systems and technology. But yes, you are so amazing and special because you have been to Shanghai Disneyland.

What gets more throughput...the two track system of current Space or a single track system longer in time but still confined in the same space of the “mountain”???

Not that it should impact this project, but Vekoma has been acquired by Sansei Technologies, the Japanese firm that acquired S&S a few years ago.

s&s, of course, being the company who had acquired arrow before being acquired themselves

interesting

 

[WondersOfLife]

If they close SM after Tron opens, there will be SIX HOUR LINES to ride Tron. That's my prediction.

I doubt that. But okay.

You need to stop talking down to people that don't agree with you. You constantly act like a superior know-it-all who has to put everyone in their place.

I never said I was amazing or special or even implied that. At this point whatever you say I really don't care.

He seems to like alienating people, whether he's right or not.

Interesting.


Disney has already worked with Sansei multiple times on other previous projects.
