News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[lazyboy97o]

Didn’t @ToTBellHop say recently that Disney have decided to delay the opening of Tron to 1st October 2022? If they stick to that, then that is a deliberately stalled timeline if ever there was one.

A change more than three years after the project received the green light.

It’s important to remember that Disney needs to continue having new things open throughout the entire anniversary. That said, there are only so many things that are far enough done to open as a part of the celebration

They also need new things to draw visitors once the anniversary celebration is over.

Tron and GotG were supposed to open BEFORE the 50th. Other new attractions were supposed to be the draw for the 50th, let alone the period after the celebration ends. Just a fun reminder!

One of our insiders has said that, Disney hasn’t.

Announcing Tron has moved to 2023 might be a reason Chapek fears boos... among many others...

They're not going to coincide the opening of the ride with the original TRON's 40th anniversary (July 9 1982)?

 

[Animaniac93-98]

I cannot comprehend why this would take until 2023 to finish.

Unless the plan is to mothball it again so they can hype having a new ride at the end of the 50th celebration.

 

[Surferboy567]

This is ridiculous, how is this taking so long.

Because once it's done, people will start asking what's coming next.

 

[ToTBellHop]

I worry that it is indeed 2023 or they would have said 2022 this morning.

Insane.

At this point they could probably get away with selling the Walt Disney World Railroad as a new attraction. There’s probably a nice chunk of people who have never experienced the Magic Kingdom with it.

What are you complaining about. Guests are riding the Walt Disney World Railroad as we type:

So much complaining.

Really.
Viewing these images, I can't see how it couldn't open by spring.

Just wait till Splash Mountain closes and the train still won't run around the park.

I’ve been taking the family to WDW for 7 years and we are still waiting to ride the railroad

Well, that’s about their timeframe for most attractions now. Nearly everyone forgot about Avatar until right before it opened and that took just as long. They spend ions researching details that most people won’t even see. While that’s a nice plus, I don’t understand delaying projects to get them in. They spent like a month just on the type of grass that should be on top of Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. I mean, is anyone really going to care if it isn’t the kind of grass that is typical in Bavaria?
