News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[The Rocketeer]

Anytime I think of Tron I imagine the sheer amount of people bottlenecked in between the speedway and the Space Mountain gift shop every morning. Unless that path was/will be widened significantly?

I haven't followed this tread as closely as others so I'm sure this has been discussed before and I just missed it.

Others have said it. I think it's pretty undeniable. I wonder if that old arcade building will stay around.

Sorry if already mentioned, but will the WDRR open once the Tron exterior is complete?

Walt Disney World has a railroad?

It’s been open awhile now. Takes you to goats in a way only Disney can.

”It brushes the goats or it gets the hose again!”

It used to...

Animal Kingdom is the only one I know of.

Is Tron going to be identical to the Shanghai Tron? I've been wondering this since about 200 pages ago but never asked and haven't followed the thread closely enough to see if it's been mentioned. I don't know anything about architecture or engineering but seeing the track and building as it's been being build seems so small and hard to imagine that it would last around three minutes like Shanghai does.

The last time I was at a Disney park (world or land) and the railroad was open was 2013. I don’t go infrequently!

Yes it will be identical and it does not last three minutes in Shanghai.

the ride last 1 minute.

Can’t believe they won’t try to have this open in October. How hard is it to build construction walls, safe enough, around Tron? Heck they could build a cement tunnel so nothing potentially falls on the track or train. Where there’s a will there’s a way I guess like many other things lol.

It's about as marketable for a coaster as it is on a Match.com profile.

Well that's disappointing. I looked up Shanghai on youtube and the video made it look like it was a lot longer. I guess you can't believe everything on the internet.

edit~ I watched the video a second time. It looks like they pieced together a few different videos to make one longer one.

Concrete (which is made with cement) is not indestructible.

I have not been following Tron and anything WDW nearly as much as I used to, but these pics make Tron look so close to Space Mountain, The Barnstormer, and the Speedway. Looks like it is crammed into the space like many lesser parks do(Six Flags and the like). Hope I am wrong, but that way from the pics. Also does the WDWRR go behind the building or through it in a tunnel?

Plenty of room...

I think the RR will go through a tunnel of sorts. Don’t worry, it gonna be just fine when it’s completed in two or three years from now.

using a zoom makes it tough to tell.
