News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[jt04]

Both are unlabelled sadly.

Even TWDA doesn’t know what the building next to 20K was.

Seems a lot was lost to time. Looking forward to your book if you ever have the time. The history of 20K alone would be fascinating.

Martin's video not withstanding... The pinnacle of information on the attraction has already been created.

"1900 with 9 subs was ideal, but hard to achieve, and not high for such a flagship attraction"

Can RotR even hit 1900/hour under ideal conditions? Looks like history repeated itself.

I can't wait for my great, great grandchildren to ride this. I'll probably be dead by then, but they can always sneak my body or ashes (in a popcorn bucket) on.

By then every ride will be some Matrx-simulation just jacked into your head

Nope. Not by design anyway.

TRON will be the new Haunted Mansion for the spreading of ashes!

what if they replaced the speedway with something like this? Its electric, can be made to look very tronnish, allows for drifting and spinning out, and works in the rain as seen in the video

That is EXACTLY what they should do... but add two of those double tracks, and a bunch of fun scenic props, a more futuristic style and it would be an absolute winner! No risk, sure fire hit, all win...
I guess that is too easy though.

Tron Light Racers. You heard it first (and sadly probably last) here.

This is what Universal should have used for the MarioKart ride.

Though I find it annoying that this is a "car" with "wheels" that don't touch the "track."

I hope whatever they do with the Speedway keeps the "you're actually driving" mechanic of the classic version. Change to TRON-like electric motors, add lots of LED lighting (and some shade), and I'd be happy.

Interior construction has resumed, btw. No further delay.

 

[ToTBellHop]

I can comfortably say this will open by Spring Break 2022. They could do earlier if they want but I’m not privy to exact funding changes—only that money has been made available during this fiscal year once again for interior work. I presume guests in the park will see work very soon. I’ll be in-park Friday if no one sees anything before then.

Don't care about interior! Get the crap cleaned up from the right of way for the WDWMKRR so the track laying can be finished.

Personally, I wish they had moved the train station a bit and made a new, very glowy Tomorrowland Station under TRON.

Interesting. Its almost like the kid down the street got a fancy new toy that everyone is talking about and now they want one of their own. lol

It’s actually that bald Santa Claus found out he could increase capacity at WDW far sooner than anticipated and wants the parks filled ASAP. In this case, I agree with him. Strike while the iron is hot to keep butts in the seats through the 50th.
