News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[SplashJacket]

I'm happy to be corrected. Out of curiosity, where was the RnRC design used outside of a Disney park?

It’s a pretty mediocre coaster by all accounts. In contrast, place VelociCoaster in a field or parking lot and it’s still one of the world’s best.

new pics from biorecontruct twitter show some interesting lighting detail in train tunnel going under tron, looks like it will be themed a bit
it would be cool although almost certainly not happening, if they made the windows in the tunnel look out into a diorama scene of a futuristic city or something instead of what looks to be a view of support beams and such

I'm assuming the bar lights are E-lights and the metal devices installed above are the themed lighting? Anyone have any other interpretation?

I think those bars might be something else like sprinklers.

Also... I wasn’t expecting this tunnel to have windows! Interesting.

That was my thought also.

I’ve noticed that several articles have referred to this attraction as Tron Lightcycle/Run instead of Tron Lightcycle Power Run. Has the name or stylization of the name been changed?

Different names for different locations. People just used the Shanghai name as a placeholder.

Gotcha! Thanks I hadn’t seen Disney or anyone else refer to the MK version as such until recently

Yeah, the fixtures above don’t seem like they would provide much light given the way they are angled. Whatever it is is much more robust than typical sprinklers, but a more robust system would make sense if you’re trying to extinguish a locomotive.

I was also thinking the boxes might be fans to help ventilate? Just a guess though.

I though about that too, but the way they’re off to the sides is odd for that purpose as the middle, right where the exhaust is centered, is still wide open.

Disney has been using that naming convention since 2019

For clarity’s sake, I’d have named it Tron: Cosmic Rock n’ Roller-Track Mountain. That really captures the experience.

That's so fun!
