Was there ever a debate?

Was there ever a debate?

there were stray comments here and there stating that they may cut the canopy. nothing reputable tho.

Regarding signing the beam, those signatures won't last a year in the sun.

I highly doubt it will remain an exposed beam.

It's a black beam, which means it's going to be inside the building. The white/gray ones are for the outside section.

Sadly, it looks like there won't be a 3rd TRON, but Co-Producer Justin Springer recently mentioned he'll never stop pitching for a 3rd installment, so there is that. Also, since when does building an attraction mean they will release a film with it?

I've been so jealous of the signing for cast members... If I had just stayed for a couple of more months..! All of my MK cast member friends have constantly been sending Snaps of it!

He’s already lasted too long in the parks so who knows.

Why does it have to be film? I'd love a live action series on Disney+.

Leaving that choke point headed by the old Space Mtn. arcade boggles the mind. Demo it! It wasn’t there in 1975 and doesn’t need to be there now.

More annoying is there is no reason for it now. Move the photo collection to a kiosk (thanks MDE) and it’s just yet another store. The new exit uses some of the arcade space, offices are in the rest. The shop floor area (the bit under the curved roof) is just in the way.

Maybe they haven’t realised yet that the original Tron entrance appears to have been ditched and they’ll need the space.

Ditched? How will the entrance be different?

Ditched? How will the entrance be different?

The most recent indications show entry will be via the path next to the arcade building. Originally entry was from elsewhere.

How do they expect that to work without widening the pathway?
