Fantasyland side for a less intense ride.
And sit on the front row
Tomorrowland side has a wackier layout

I thought your goal was to retire...
You must be out of the loop, I came out of retirement.

oooh interesting. so they are going to re-route that water channel to BEHIND the new Tron Coaster building...right now it runs in front of it. that also means there will be no bridge needed like some people were thinking.

Still going to need a bridge, or tunnel, to get over the tracks.

ohhh forgot that part....I think that's what the staircase in the concept art is...like you walk up to a platform that goes over the train.... definitely alot of land work to do.....easy to see why it's going to take a few years to get done.
They changed the canal from going under the big blue canopy to going behind the gravity building. Looks like they may have even moved the whole gravity building a few feet to the west to make it fit.
Still no hints about what may come of Speedway redesign.

I rode it in February this year...still died...
Cushions can only do so much ... lol
The fact is, it's just rough. You either love it or hate it, lol.

I wonder if the WDWRR will run forward and backward on just one half of the park. As it did during the Splash Mountain construction?

I road it today and was shocked at how bumpy and shakey it was. I felt like i was going to bump right off the track. I had a second fastpass and opted to not go back up.

DL closed their railroad when they were redoing half of it for star wars so I think they would completely close it
They wouldn’t have to in Orlando.

I know you mentioned months ago about them doing something with the train, any light you can shed on that? I'd think the train going underneath the overhang would cause it to slowly turn black over time. They painted the part of the people mover that crosses the tracks black just so it would look clean.

I think I remember hearing talk about a refurb is planned for the future that might coincide with Tron. It's extremely vague I know but it's worth mentioning because it shows the railroad isn't closing (thank God).
