News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[Disstevefan1]

99% chance. It should be done by this summer. I’d guess a September 1 opening, and a July 1 opening for the railroad

Didn’t get a pic but there are walls up along the path to TRON and around the north wall of the Light and Power building. Looks like they’re getting ready to do something about that path. Not much they can do, though. Add 5 feet of width?

 

[James Alucobond]

Kinda hoping it's more about reworking the appearance of Light & Power. Wouldn't mind seeing the faux transmission towers removed and, ultimately, the interior redesigned with all of the gear detailing removed.

It looks nice from the PeopleMover though I wish they extended it to go through the Tron building.

Then we would have waited 4 more years

guess i will have to extend my AP 10 years to make sure i can log on at 9am on a random day and get a preview ride in!

 

[DisQuick]

Huh, wonder who got that video…

 

[tommyhawkins]

Who are you?

(What is the basis of your opinion?)

They could be just looking at this thread

wow 60mph on camera looks slow haha. may also not be the full speed or could be cause they dont have any weight on the trains.

My ONLY problem with this so far is the placement. It looks a little odd and almost "plopped down" right next to Space Mountain. I am excited to have the chance to ride this though!

To me the real issue I have is that hideous speedway attraction , I mean that’s been a shocking attraction , and makes a racket of a noise , shame they didn’t close that down and try to make that a Tron based area entrance , speedway just doesn’t fit in tomorrow land at all, looking forward to tron big time though , looks great !

I don't get the hate behind this ride. Sure, it's not Pirates or Mystic Manor, but I mean they didn't have to give us anything. I understand why some people are upset, but c'mon! It's flipping TRON. I watched Legacy this morning and I am PUMPED. and the dig about the small fan base- we may be small, but we are dedicated. Also, there's more of us than you'd think.

tldr; stop complaining, it's not like they're putting GOTG in Epcot. Oh wait...

I am very exited for this, it may even take the space mountain queue down to less that half hr , Ive looked forward to this attraction since seeing the original ride, defiantly fits in tomorrow land like a glove, GOTG not so much in Epcot, disney Are giving us lots of new attractions so that’s a great thing , for November opening of Tron , we arrive 20th jan 23 so you never know .

, defiantly fits in tomorrow land like a glove,

"defiantly" is an appropriate description...

It can - look slow, but the cars were likely not travelling full speed.
More importantly, the People Mover was moving in the same direction as the cars and the camera was panning.

I'm sure the minimum launch speed is a lot less to get up to that gravity building with empty train

I didn't think there was any possibility this would be open by December but would be a nice surprise
