News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[Sith196]

So I don’t know that it will make October because they delayed before restarting, but it is definitely this year, now. Previews during October certainly aren’t out of the question. Could just be CMs at that point, though.

Do you think there's any chance they would be able to open the railroad by November, even if TRON isn't ready to go yet?

Yep.

 

[Disney Glimpses]

I hope January Previews!

It would be a significant miss if previews didn't occur by the end of October, even with the delays.

I predict October 1st virtual queue, personally.

For the WDWRR? There will be a crowd of crying fanboys and fangirls stretching from the park entrance to the TTC, I’m sure. Thank goodness they built those bridges.

I should clarify... I predict VQs being for Tron on October 1st.

We shall see! Money talks, Disney lives by it, and it's nearly ready. Expect them to rush thru the home stretch so that they are *only* one year late

They can slow walk the opening as long as they want. Look how long they dragged their feet opening 'Ratatouille' !

Hopefully they can use the time to make it bulletproof so it is not plagued by downtime
They need a workhorse because they are going to take space down for a track replacement as soon as......
Right?
Sorry for the edit penguin

This ride is so absurdly badly placed that my working theory is that a Disney VP was having an office affair with a subordinate and, when their spouse walked in on them, they panicked, claimed to be working late on a new ride, and as proof grabbed the miniature Tron building from the HKDL model and shoved it into the WDW model at random. Then they had to build it or face an expensive divorce.

More likely, the current Tron placement is a result of where the young lady's support garment fell across the MK model.

Speaking of which, has anybody tried to calculate the canopy's size? I can't be the only person in the world to notice such a resemblance...

But will a dinosaur fit in there?

It's plenty big enough for me to squeeze through.

Eh it's just a Little Mermaid VHS moment

I can't wait for the Walt Disney World railroad and Tron/ Lightcycle run signage coming to the Magic Kingdom!

Possibly related to the coaster, since it was shot near Disney World? Flynn's Arcade being somewhat central to both Tron movies. Really randomly stumbled across this on Instagram.

It is a promo shoot. Not in the attraction like that.

Yeah, I've watched a full ride through of the one in Shanghai. More just that it's interesting they're doing promo work, I guess.

Looks like one of those themed vacation homes I've seen the Trackers visit. The construction, especially with the door in the ceiling for attic access looks very residential.
