News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[TrainsOfDisney]

Curious to see what plans, if any, there are to restore any kind of berm/do anything about sight lines in and out of the park. Currently lots of open views straight out to the road outside the park from the attraction/walkway leading up the attraction.

The company has shown us how little they care about sightlines now. I wouldn’t expect much but perhaps they’ll plant some trees when they are done with the construction.

Is it possible that GotG is "longest" in duration but not in length? Or vice versa?

The landscaping should start soon

It is the longest indoor roller coaster in feet, inches, meters, finger-widths, lightyears, au, parsecs, cubits, or hands.

Which should certainly help a lot, but it's kind of difficult to mitigate the box that towers over Storybook Circus now, especially with what I assume is a necessary water retention pond making it difficult to add anything significant just beyond the railroad tracks.

It's easy, dynamite and a terrible fireworks accident......

Ponds can be moved, but the best time to do it would have been years ago. It’s also something we’d most likely know about beforehand since such work would require permission from the South Florida Water Management District.

Funny joke, but those are all units of physical distance not units of time. My question still stands. Is GotG the longest indoor coaster in duration or distance or both?

It’s not the longest in duration, Revenge of the Mummy is longer. But coasters have historically been marketed as “longest” regarding track length irrespective of duration.

Use parsec. For Disney's Star Wars, it's a unit of time *and* distance!!

Rohde is gone man

Does anyone know if there is an opening date for the train?

Every time my college friends discussed the length of something, it was measured in inches, centimeters, etc. No care was paid to time.

I would always remind them that for the fact that Mummy isn’t particularly long but does a lot with what it has and then they’d bring up Gringotts and I’d walk away, shamed.

Nothing has been posted by Disney. No real reports from insiders either. So no.

 

[Walt d]

So underwhelmed, My expectations were low and Disney dug right under them.

Im a user!

Thanks! Makes sense. That's what I wasn't sure of.

I thought discussion of Episode 8 was prohibited here. Oh wait, was that Solo...?

LOL, unfortunately my stomach bars me from either experience, so I'll have to take your word!

Cosmic Rewind does more with more.

Mummy does more with less.

Gringotts does less with less.

I dunno. But, it'll definitely be measured in parsecs...

Disney is beginning to prep for the return of the Train. CM training will begin soon.
