News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

Obviously they cant truely hide this thing but i do feel a little more effort to block the massiveness in the circus/train station area path would do wonders. Some tall trees or something.

Oooo, Good name for this thing, The Tomorrowland Circus.

Maybe this is the Mary Poppins attraction they announced! The canopy is a modernist rendition of the famous umbrella! Fly fly fly!

I actually think they could hide it almost completely from many locations within Storybook by simply continuing the theming of the Barnstormer down onto the path that runs beside the train. Just add more of those tall Goofini banners with fabric awnings. It would block the views and provide a lot more shade. Doesn’t fix the hideousness from the Contemporary, but eh.

Anyone who has walked into a strong wind with an umbrella can attest to the effects of the angle of attack on lift.

Brayden uploaded a video where he shows two nice pieces of “concept art” we haven’t seen before. Not sure if these were made by the company or by fans but I like the color scheme.

That art is beautiful

This one seems to be matching the current construction pretty well. The path to Circus is going under the ramp, just like current construction shows.

The new concept of Tron/Lightcycle run is awesome!

I didn’t realize the train tunnel went that far

I thought that was the exit for the ride. Is it doubling as a walkway to and from circus?

You enter and exit from the same ramp. The path that passes underneath the flyover is only a path to Storybook, nothing else.

Seems like a pretty long tunnel for the train. Wonder what the narration will be during that part of the trip and if there will be anything at all visual or if it'll just be dark tunnel with on-train lights.

Completely pitch dark and for those that failed to give Disney more $$ by skipping the Genie+ purchase you will be randomly smacked as you pass through the tunnel.

They burn diesel so there is still some soot but nothing like being behind a coal burner

My suggestion for fueling diesel engines has been and still is to use the proven technology of recycled vegetable oil. So, the exhaust smells like French fries what's wrong with that?

Yeah I guess that’s like the one difference, otherwise it’s pretty similar in shape to this one:

Always a neat idea that will keep getting looked into I am sure.


Not that it is likely for TDO, but an expensive conversion would have to take place to do it again like they did with certain engines at DL, and Vegetable oil still smokes, so there would still be burn residue and soot, and when it does reach a point of fire, it is a nightmare of a fire to fight compared to Disel.

I always thought this but now that it's laid bare...oof.

One of the things I’m very excited for is the Tron soundtrack by Daft Punk. It would be very wizard to include in a future fireworks show!
