News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[ChewbaccaYourMum]

So since the entrace to Tron is that walkway between SM gift shop and Speedway, and the People Mover is right above there to block the view, how much space is there between Tron and once you walk under the People Mover? What I'm trying to say is how much space are we going to have to really stand back and admire the full look of the canopy once walking under the People Mover tracks?

I feel like in Shanghai there's so much space in front of it to admire the canopy and watch it if you want. It seems like the entrance is going to be a bottleneck as it is and not really that much space to stand there and admire it if you wanted to. Also, standing in front of Speedway and looking might not be as good too and you won't really see the whole thing?

That's the problem with tomorrowland in both WDW and DL, the bottleneck (albeit much worse in DL). Hopefully once you're around the left corner of SM entry and headed toward the Speedway you'll be able to get the full effect of the Tron canopy.

That canopy will change the tomorrowland skyline, for better or for worse.

So sad to still see no railroad tracks there at Lasseter Point.

 

[Jrb1979]

Any news of the delay? And how long?

 

[SilentWindODoom]

I didn't even think about the fact that finishing the front will allow the train to be put back in now. Is there any reason they wouldn't finish the pathways overhead now?

This may be a good shot to re-spark 'debate' on what the box will look like from different areas of the park.



Of course the height of this shot is getting a lot of play here. At ground-level it'll be much different.

From a couple days ago

The only area I’m quite disturbed by the box is from the Barnstormer... I hope they are planting a forest.

I can already hear four year olds screaming from the Barnstormer, "THAT'S THEMATICALLY PROBLEMATIC!!!"

The Trackers stayed at Bay Lake Tower over the weekend, giving real life guest views of what the box will look like from Bay Lake Tower (what seems like one of the best places on the property to see it).



1:15 - The view from the ground level parking lot.
8:20 - The view through the window of their 15th floor Bay Lake Tower room.
10:10 - The balcony view.
15:50 - The view from the airbridge between Bay Lake Tower and the Contemporary Territory.
19:10 - The nighttime view from the balcony.
33:40 - More nighttime view with fireworks.

EDIT: Just realized that their Poly stay would probably show visibility (albeit pre-canopy) from across the Lagoon and sure enough at 16:05 it pops up.

Tron coaster.
Tron soundtrack.
Close enough.
These songs have been able to be acquired through various exclusive releases but they finally brought them all together into a single release:

Daft Punk releases new extended version of the Tron: Legacy soundtrack

The new version includes nine additional songs

www.polygon.com

While the movie may bore most (didn't care, still had fun, saw it 5 times in the theaters), the soundtrack is incredible and deserves a listen. Especially since the ride uses various mixes of the soundtrack in the queue and ride itself.

I have been watching the Trackers for years and ever since Jenn became a mom something changed about her. She seems so naive nowadays. Tim always corrects her or calls her out.

I’m totally in love with TRON and TRON Legacy and not ashamed. Thanks for posting this!

The fiance and I have absolutely noticed this. Jenn also seems so nervous about everything and seems to be walking on eggshells.
Meanwhile Tim asks some of the dumbest questions I've ever heard spoken aloud. Whoever said there's no such thing as a stupid question never watched a Tracker video.

 

[SilentWindODoom]

I'm just now noticing something I didn't before (although it may not have been there earlier). What's up with the retaining walls under the lower portions of the canopy here? Could this hint at what's being done with the railroad and the pathway? I'm unsure which side is going to be filled in with dirt. It could be the pathway takes the high ground and the train goes through a channel below of the trail could go low with the train going through a dirt-covered (and heavily vented) tunnel. Anyone think they can figure this out.

I can understand the being on eggshells sometimes (if you mean the times she's been like "can we say that?") considering when they first started doing charity shoutouts someone tried to cancel them. But I think the rest is a mix of being out of the loop and focused on other things, not spending the same amount of time looking into things. Although sometimes knowledge holes do make me laugh.

Photos aren’t mine I just ripped em from google.

The walkways beneath the canopy are nearly all elevated. Some atop large columns, some atop retaining walls like that. The ground floor is a large garden with swirling concrete dividing areas. I imagine they have planned for the train to cut through the garden with as few changes as possible from Shanghai. The elevated walkways we’ve seen so far seem to match up pretty well with the Shanghai design.

I watched ONE of their videos and had to turn it off...never to watch them again. Why do you guys keep watching if they're so bad?
