I’d guess more like 99% but I don’t think that was a debate. A thrill ride of this intensity doesn’t exist at MK, so it fills a void.

Also there's this...
Everybody forgets Gadget's... In fact I bet Disney even forgets that it's back there. I bet when they closed Toontown and started trimming the bushes they were like "hey look, there's a roller coater back here. When the heck did we do this?"

For me it’s not the duality of the attraction. I likewise will probably never visit Shanghai. However it’s the known fact that it’s simply not an impressive coaster. Will it be fun? Of course! and the seating position is novel (can’t wait for all the guests that can’t ride) but it’s very short by modern coaster standards.

I think he is referring to the physical limitations this ride will have.

Here you go, full resolution photos of the Upload Conduit canopying all its glory! It looks spectacular in person, and this is before they have lighting sequences etc.

I think it looks great but gee does it steal the show from SM in the last photo…

I think they should update the lighting on SM, not exactly "flashy" but something with a little more contrast and it would mesh well with Tron.

I think if they added strip lighting to the spine struts on Space Mountain, it would look phenomenal together.

I think it'll be more like 75%, solely because of the kind of ride. It'll have the same issues Guardians has (i.e. why it's not difficult to get on Guardians right now even though it's brand new) where a significant percentage of guests either can't ride or just don't want to.
Probably 99% of people who actually ride will enjoy it, though.

It is one of the most enjoyable rides I have ever been on...and even friends that hate rollercoaster have been very enthusiastic about this one...

Would that fit the theme though? You are supposed to be uploaded to a computer, not seeing the night time sky...
Now if they adjusted the theme to be more space based than video game based I fully agree with you!

It wasn't a knock on the ride -- just a statement of fact that WDW attracts more guests who aren't going to get on anything more than a kiddie roller coaster (for various reasons) than most other parks.

This. Wife and I were so underwhelmed by Tron in Shanghai. I really enjoy the Tron movies, but the whole ride was just rather bland and uninspired. There is just not a lot to sing your teeth into or for designers to use for details as everything in that world is so minimalist.
Shanghai Pirates, however... we went on it 4 times and it was outstanding.

Guardians of the Galaxy doesn't fit Epcot's theme, but Disney did it anyway! They have shown that they care less about comprehensive themes these days. (I lost count of the number of times Walt has turned over in his grave.) I suspect this minor change in the ride wouldn't ruffle any Tron fan feathers.

I suspect that is one of disney's new means of alternative power. The more he turns in his grave the more it turns a wheel which in turn powers a few things at the parks. With that constant turning its a form of alternative energy that constantly keeps on going. When ever it looks like its gonna stop then the execs will do something else and the turning continues.

Outside of AK which they can't change much as it has animals, the other 3 parks are one and the same. Full of whatever IP they can market. They have really lost touch on what made Disney Disney.
