News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[BaymaxFan]

How can the new ride which is supposedly one of the longest indoor rollercoaster open before a ride that is a clone of an existing ride and it's not even a long coaster. This is now very obvious that they are not really a priority cause these rides are not even dark rides with complicated ride systems. They are just well themed rollercoasters.

Disney full on just stopped all work on Tron for a few months. GotG didn't settle down for that long

How fast they can get it done has no bearing on when they open rides. They want to get the most bang for their marketing buck so marketing makes the timing call after construction constraints. Sometimes it doesn't work and you get a half complete star wars land open to guests or a pandora that has no reliability to stay running.

The speed at which rides are built has little to do with how long it could take to build them, it's primarily determined by how long Disney WANTS to take.

Bob Iger. He said it in interviews. Actually used Ratatouille once as an example of something that wasn’t a franchise and likely wouldn’t get an attraction. Ratatouille happened though because of the messy ownership and debt situation at Euro Disney and then because they needed something quickly at Walt Disney World.

Wow, Iger really did not care to even bother to hide who he really was

So, the bus this morning decided to take Floridian Way. Courtesy of our bus driver’s decision:

@EricsBiscuit I want to thank you for the photos of the backstage area of Tron, which I haven't seen so far. Interesting view and it looks further along from the backside, but still has a way to go and I'm so tired of Disney literally dragging their feet on this. Anyways, I appreciate your time to take and post these.

You’re welcome! It’s purely out of selfless reasons and definitely not for the dopamine rush I get with each reaction!

I mean, you make it sound like he revealed himself to be a racist or something. Believing the strength of the Disney brand is in active media IP may be misguided, but it’s not evil.

I can't find the thread for it so figured I'd ask here. Anyone heard when the Railroad might be opening? I'm curious if it will open before Tron is ready.

Eager to have it back and operational.

Probably late 2022 (ahead of tron) and Disney will make a big deal out of it... merch and all that food and beverage

Sorry, couldn't hear you over the sound of TRON merch I've been waiting 30+ years for.

I agree, I wouldn’t think GotG ride vehicles would be around the TTC area. What driver would want to go that way to get to Epcot?

 

[Armerius]

its tron, for sure.

 

[ToTBellHop]

Those are absolutely Lightcycles.

Can someone more intelligent than I tell me if this means they are at a certain point or milestone in construction? This makes me feel like they are farther along with the coaster itself than I originally thought.
