News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[Disney Analyst]

Have you ridden Hagrids? That thing will put a smile on your face everytime and it isn't a huge coaster but it has tricks with the launches which make the ride. A simple launch coaster seems a little like a one trick pony.
Side note - I never looked at the specs for RnRC but 1:08? Really. OK I rode it 12 in a row one morning with no wait because I like it but it seems longer to my brain.

Looked at the wiki and RnRC is listed at 1:22 there

I timed a video of the coaster. If I included the long wait before the launch and the crawl back to unload it probably would have come in round 1:35

Its like that at most amusement parks. I have seen it happen a few times the walk of shame.

Given the number of complaints about Flight of Passage, TRON will be a lot worst for walk of shames. The TAV's (sitdown car in the back of some trains) will be getting a lot of use.

This should mitigate the problem for most, I would think. Isn’t it just a standard lap bar for the back row?

i didnt know there was a sit down option in tron, any pics of the sit down cars?

Yup. It’s not Disney’s fault.

They chose it and cloned it??? They didn't design the system or the ride but it does have that "disney touch" evident since NFL
Just like mine train I can't give it a pass.

Heck- by the time the original Tron fans get to ride this thing, their Doctors are not going to let them....

By that time they will be like everyone else who is not Bob Iger and will have forgotten about Tron.

Thank you for quoting my website! Two trains in Shanghai are equipped with the TAV and the operators receive a message on their console when a TAV is coming up next. I rode the ride in the TAV and it was forceless, but you were able to see the sets and effects a lot better.

My only complaint with FOP is the ride mechanism.

I don't mind that, I think the whole flying is just too fast. You don't really get to look around, appreciate anything. its just zoom zoom zoom Like soarin' on 3x speed. There's not real AWE moment that you take in, just onto the next zoom zoom

I get what you mean, but I think all the zooming makes the pause in the cave

Disney wanted to make a ride about riding a Lightcycle like in the movies. To make that ride safe with restraints it has certain requirements. It’s not their fault. At least they have a few sit down seats available. Not everything will always be available to everyone.

Disney had the vehicles modified to make it more comfortable and accessible than the standard Vekoma Motorbike. This is a photo of Booster Bike, the prototype one at Toverland.

You have to squeeze between the front pad and back rest. Then, you have to place your knees in the right spot and pull the handles to squeeze your legs and back enough for it to register as locked. Its also much shorter than the TRON Lightcycles and will hurt your knees if you're tall.

I'm not going to be a fan of that.

That's ugly. I would rather see the track like most coasters then see that.

Is the white/gray stripe pattern intended to help the attraction blend in with space, because... it might be kind of working.
