It is not replacing the speedway.

That's your opinion and that's fine, but I'm certain that it will so we can just agree to disagree on this one.

It's not a matter of opinion, it's in the concept art, and two reliable insiders have said it's staying, but might be updated.

Wonder how this fits in with taking Space down for the year or so it needs.
Surely they won't delay until Tron opens? That Splash Mountain refurb being moved forward intruiges me...

They also surely wouldn't want it closed during the 50th, so either they do it while they are building TRON (no reason they can't) or they wait till 2023! Eek!

They just need to bite the bullet and get it done. People will complain, it'll cause havoc to MKs already ridiculous wait times, but once it's done it'll be ready to entertain millions more guests over the years.
Not only a Tron, but the tech used in mission spaces upgrades, the new eating establishment and the Star Wars hotel will age Space in its current form even faster.

First time poster and can't believe I havnt seen this site before.
People are saying they want Mystic Manor and new Pirates. I don't see how this will happen. Both are great rides and old and nostalgic rides. An update would most likely confuse the wider public. Where Tron looks cool, is a great ride and fits into The new tomorrowland.
I suppose In the future Pirates might get an upgrade. As they'll never do it at DLR. but I would be disappointed if I missed it in my trip.

I just got back from Shanghai and this ride was the favorite of all of the young people in my family. Glad to see it coming to Walt Disney World.

LOL the speedway is literally in the Tron concept art.

No it's not, fake news, nothing to see here.

Welcome to the forums, you've joined at a great and exciting time!
Once again, proof positive that the suits running WDW are doing so based on some proprietary version of Roller Coaster Tycoon they use to model their Parks and Resorts planning.

It has been discussed on these forums that work will be done to update and bring together the land.

Fantastic news! Can't wait. Just hope Speedway gets scenes added and new electric cars, and with a new coaster, Space Mountain can finally close for that massive rebuild which has been long overdue. And then the rest of Tomorrowland can get updates and I will be very happy.

Alright, let's just see how it plays out.
Obviously plans can change, but there is no doubt from the current plan that the speedway is remaining.

Concept art is just that, concept art. Implementation rarely ever looks like a concept. Once again the "experts" control the threads.
