News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

- Start date
Get on this one asap, he has a shred of hope left.....
I wonder if the construction duration is proportional to the opening day's wait time in line? Will this thing see 4+ hour wait times when it opens?

WAY UNDER. I think this will be VQ only for a long time. Hope you have fast-fingers! Once that goes away, it'll be 8 hour long lines. This thing will be a slow loader with limited capacity.
Just what the magic kingdom needed, thank you mr iger!

I don't mind all those people locked into an 8 hour line, less people at PP or SM or ANY of the other rides I want to ride in MK

I think you'll still have the usual crowds. Those lined up will be the "new ride" diehards that are there to do nothing else. It's gonna be a madhouse. IMO, they'll need to keep the VQ around for a long time on this one.
Yeah, VQ exists to hide the gap of expectations WDI has for an attraction vs the realities TDO operations has to handle. Partially outdoor roller coaster in Orlando, low capacity relative to expected demand, seats that will not be very.... accommodating to American bodies... it will be a requirement for a year.
I figured they'd just do standby and LL with LL being an extra $10 for every hour of standby.
Meanwhile, just down the road, Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure will be celebrating its third anniversary of operation in a few months. It opened on June 13, 2019... after replacing The Dragon Challenge which, as an existing attraction in the place it was constructed, closed for dismantling less than two years prior.*
But I mean, that's just (as it stands) the most expensive and possibly the most complex coaster ever built so whatevas.
*Same year, in fact, Disney announced this albatross and Universal hadn't even said what was coming as they tore that down and began construction.
And not to mention the One year of Velocicoaster coming up near the same time!

If you're talking about for the comemorative popcorn bucket, no - it'll be six hours, minimum.

Meanwhile, we've been watching this outdoor canopy go up in front of a giant industrial box at speeds that feel like they rival the original construction times of Notre Dame.

american bodies lol, its true though. So many overweight people in USA that are gonna have to use the rear seating car and wont be able to ride the lightcycle cars, ill bet it gets pretty backed up haha as they all have to wait for the one car that accomadates them.
Many Rollercoaster Seats have had modified seating for a long time. It does not cause a backup of significance at any of those.

Thank goodness it is an indoor coaster next to an indoor coaster under the amazing relevance of TRON. Good move Iger.

Just has to be an existing IP.
Any IP will do as long as they own it.* Since they haven't had much success with IPs that are scifi (we won't debate what Star Wars is since it has its whole own thing on property) I guess they felt this was good enough.
*As a classic, for technical achievement and anthropomorphising the inner workings of computers which at the time were a very alien thing to most people, I have a soft spot for the original Tron. As excited as I was for the sequel, the cartoonishly villainous humans and incredibly simplistic plot cement it as a forgettable action movie very much stuck in its time. Neither would have inspired me to build a ride devoted to it in the 2020's, though.

Or if you did build a ride based on it, I am sure at the very least, the most iconic part should be above and beyond so it stands on its own.
A dueling coaster format would have been at least an improvement. Waterworld is a great stunt show. They could have made a great coaster or ride experience to stand on its own. They cloned a decent ride in a park that has not had great tings for awhile.
Disneyland wants to know what your think about their dark ride alley.
The differences are: those stand alone on their own merits regardless of theme for the times they were created and opened and not a main icon of a land, but a mass of attractions complimenting each other and better than what any other park/amusement/ were doing at the time all with a variety of conveyance. No one was going a better part of a decade with out a ride in that park at the time.
Terrible comparison.

Still don’t understand comments like this. Yeah there are two indoor coasters next to each other… that are very different from each other. No one would mistake the ride experience of Tron for that of Space.
