News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

The Navy tried that back in WWII. Helps break up the profile of a really large building -- or destroyer -- and makes it look less imposing.
Indeed. Doesn’t quite work though.
Well, that's because in both photos, the big thing is the central focus. Step back a few hundred meters and neither will look quite as big or distinguishable as they do closer up.
Yep. That’s the idea.
We're being attacked by Hottentots on zebras! Cheeky devils! Give 'em what for! Empty the shot lockers!

Disappointing, but hardly surprising that Disney would disrupt the view of MK from the main approach direction and from the railroad with a box shaped show building ... and then make a lame attempt to cover it up with stripes.
"Stop complaining, we made the new coaster building look all bland for you."
They are doing the exact same thing with the approach to Epcot and the view from the monorail.
It's similar to Jurassic Park River adventure except that attraction is in the farthest corner of the park, and if storytelling matters, the building has a reason to exist.
If storytelling mattered to Disney, the Tron Box would look like a PC cabinet in the movie ... whatever that looked like. I mean they go inside a computer to ride light cycles, does the computer have a case or cabinet?
In Despicable Me it's a gag when the stolen pyramid is disguised with "go away blue" and puffy clouds. Does Disney get the joke?
Call me a nitpicker ... but I didn't invent the concept of theme parks with integrated, thematic skylines and sightlines both inside and outside the parks ... Disney did.

This manufacturer has their headquarters in my area, so I see them trying the same thing often.
(Apologies in advance for the poor quality of this one.)

I’m assuming they took down the one that was inside the building?

I hope Tron:lightcycle run will have single rider.

Each cycle holds one person. It's not like there's a bench seat that holds three people and they need a single rider to join a couple. Thus, it's highly unlikely there will be single rider. It'd be like having single rider for a carousel.

The "Jurassic Park has a huge building" is an awful comparison to make for either this or the Guardians ride at EPCOT.
