News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

If you really wanted to lose a finger on Space Mtn., you could.

I knew there was a good reason I’ll never ride Space Mtn again.

Nothing at all to do with the fact I’m a wus, it’s just a safety thing.

Keep your hands and legs inside the RV and you will be fine. Mild case of whiplash and some c3 - c5 damage but you still have your limbs.

I think you missed the wuss part of my post.

GOTG: Cosmic Rewind is opening during the 2022 fiscal year for Disney. Fiscal year 2023 for Disney begins October 1. So, they may push hard to open Tron by 10/1 much like they did with Ratatouille last year.

Or a back injury! LOL

Seven Dwarfs Mine Train was doing Push/Pull tests in September 2013, and opened May 2014.

I do recall that the Mine Train's Push/Pull was particularly frought, given the unusual nature of the vehicles' side to side movement and the amount of foliage tightly planted around the ride envelope. It was also an original attraction, where TRON is a clone, so TRON may move a little faster through this process for a combination of these reasons.

So . . . it's possible? But Disney seems to be moving exlusively at the speed it chooses with this ride - they may decide to open it in 2023 just to give guests something to look forward to rather than opening it in the same year as Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT. If I were to place a bet I wouldn't count on riding this year, but I'd be happy for you if I were wrong.

That's good context. I wouldn't bet on it either. But you never know!!! I won't lose sleep over it as I'll be with my family of children aged 5.5, 7.5 and 10. There is lots to look forward to since I haven't been since about 2012 with adults on a day trip.

Nah. Let’s take this at a light jog.

Yeah, I don't see a lot left to do. Hardscape and landscaping and install tracks is pretty much it unless they really screwed up the ride build. Dress it out with paint and signage and open. Plenty of time to hit their opening.

I hope not.

Just keep riding until you can't feel any pain. (or anything from the shoulders down)

If you've ever seen the early test run videos of Popeye and Bluto's you understand why things like this are necessary

6:45 in this video if anyone wants to see.

Is there anywhere to see concept art?

Im a user’ lets hit this thing running”

You are the Bobs target audience...if they could get away with building a themed gift shop and skip the actual investment building an attraction, i think they would jump for joy. Let's not give them ideas...lol

It doesn't even look like they're gonna give it a gift shop anyway, so there goes that.

One gets the impression they finally want the train back.

Interesting, wonder if that is the actual roof, or a form for a concrete roof.

I would assume actual? It's bolted to the concrete walls in such a way that, to my eye, it wouldn't make sense as a form, and it matches the concept art.

You are probably right, just looking at one of the earlier pictures and there is no rebar sticking out of the top of the wall and there probably would be if they were going to pour a concrete roof.

The site which cannot be named has some new pictures of the tunnel where you can see "windows" on the tunnel wall facing the show building.
