The photos are a bit odd. They were taken from the line for Barnstormer

Having not ridden it, I did watch a couple of videos on Tron. I could have missed something, though- can you tell me how the queue is beautiful? I saw sterile walls, hallways, and blue tube lights. Is there something else going on inside? Blue is my favorite color, so the glow from the canopy will be nice at night, for sure, even if it does remind me of a slug.
Also, does anyone know how the entrance will work? Will it go under the tracks, or over?

I mean it’s fine. I’m not sure why I’m supposed to be excited about it? Other than the thrill of sitting in a bicycle position this doesn’t seem to offer anything unique. If this was one of several things MK was getting for it’s 50th than great, but seeing as it’s the only big thing.... yeah a bit disappointed.
I’m still convinced it will eventually replace space mountain. Maybe they can tear out the tracks and make a dance party inside space mountain!? Seems to be what all the kids want?

This picture is very unsettling. Almost like he’s manic

It's also only one portion of the ride. They still have to do the load and unload area and the whole outside section.

Different standards? This is an E ticket attraction at any
To all of you who have not been on Tron 5 times - how can you all be dissing something you know nothing about?! It’s a gorgeous ride, a spectacular nighttime exterior and has incredible design. It’s also a blast! Why all the negativity? Space Mountain isn’t going anywhere. It is way overdue for a major track replacement that will happen after Tron is open. Bizzar.I mean it’s fine.

The entire attraction is designed with immersive lighting, a great soundtrack and a stunning boarding and launch area. The canopy and lighting at night is beautiful and the vehicles are sleek and glow. Arriving at any other conclusion other than “i better start dieting now to fit on the light cycle” would be false.Having not ridden it, I did watch a couple of videos on Tron.

I’m not dissing it.... I’m just not overly excited about it. I’m not against it, and yes it may surprise me and be more fun than I think. Hey a fun, smooth coaster with on board audio and cool lighting effects does sound fun!
Keep in mind there is a bit of an elevation change here, from the guest area to where the show building will be. Not substantial, but enough to help sightlines a bit.
Okay.

I have been on it that many times. More.
It is awesome to watch. Looks incredible at night. The launch and outdoor swoop is a blast. Then the interior is on par with crush’s coaster, and it’s over far too soon.
Tron is what it is. Nothing more, nothing less.

I might as well have written this post.

Your expectations are realistic and will be met. Though not exceeded.
