News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[Coaster Lover]

If Disney ever covered up Epcots (among all the other parks) parking lot with solar panel shades like they are doing ni Paris, that would keep the GotG showbuilding from view when in the parking lot.

Regardless of output, I'm really shocked this hasn't happened yet. I've been a few places that had solar panel covered parking and it's so, SO nice. Being able to park in the shade and know your car won't be 150 degrees F when you come back at the end of the day is such a nice perk. Could easily do that for the preferred parking areas and bump that parking fee up by $10 to help cover the costs. Speaking of parking, Ive found that the $25 standard parking fee at Disney is downright reasonable compared to other parks. I was just at Six Flags Great Adventure in NJ and was shocked to see that standard parking is $40 there.

The Mansion box was easily visible when the park opened.

But they had no intention of leaving it visible permanently, which is what matters. Unlike the Harmonious barges or Cosmic Rewind.

the only reason I ever heard of Tron before the sequel/reboot:

The only reason I've heard of Tron is because of the ride at WDW. Literally did not know it existed prior, nor that it was a seemingly popular IP.

Have they given a generic timeline for this ride? I honestly can’t remember. Our next trip is March 2023, I’m thinking it has to be open by then, right?

Yes.

 

[Gran Fiesta]

Yes.

I have heard late November/early December. Is there any truth to this? We are going the first week of December

 

[arich35]

Yes.

We are going for almost 2 weeks Dec 7th-18th, hopefully it will be ready

Last goal I heard was to have it open for the holidays, I think they really want it open pre Thanksgiving and have the grand opening next year. I think they will make it

A friend is going in May and hoped to me it'd be complete by then. I had to contain a bit of a smirk to be honest...

Pre Thanksgiving would be great. We will be there week after.

May the Master Control Program be with you

Talked to my source again, and they mentioned that their team's work on the project is lasting at least till mid-January. If you knew what this person were working on, you'd agree: I don't think you see the general public on this ride before 2023.

So is the railroad down until Tron opens?

So is the railroad down until Tron opens?

Probably not. Only until they get all the track in place and all CM's trained.

Man I really hope not, I would love to ride it the first week of December when I go and @marni1971 liking my message gives me hope but the lack of an opening date being announced yet and your source makes me not very optimistic.

We haven't gotten to D23 yet - prime opportunity to announce an opening date there, no reason to do so prior at this point

Now's if that comes and goes with no dates, then 2022 opening ain't looking good

That’s true, I honestly forgot about D23. When are the dates for that again?

The weekend of September 9th.

Is there a non denominational religious holiday that took place over the last several months that I didn't know about?

I'm not really sure in what universe this wouldn't constitute significant, obvious progress. The week-to-week work has been well documented.
