The view is going to be so awesome from the Speedway, especially at night! I finally rode Speedway last year for the first time since 1983 - loved it! Went on it 3 times.

I'm sure Tron will be a lot of fun, but I'm actually more excited for the views of the lighting package at night.

I just want the train to be running in late October for our trip...

This is the bright side - the only actual addition announced at D23, I believe?

Im a user, not a program!

honestly could care less about Tron opening at all. The fact that the Walt Disney World Railroad is still being impacted by this giant mistake of an attraction is sacrilegious.



OPEN the railroad already!!!

They COULD open it right now but I am pretty sure they'd only get a single run from the old girl.

Who rides the railroad? Is there some exciting moment along the way? I don't see the draw.

It's not exciting, but I always take a ride around the park once a trip. Same with people mover. Just a nice little break.

It’s a train. Enough said.

Can’t remember being this excited for a new ride! This one looks like it’s going to be a ton of fun!

I can't wait to see this at night.

I can't wait to see this at night.

If it's anything like what I saw in Shanghai (and it should be), then it will be spectacular; you can see it all the way across the water from the DL hotel (and the ride is at the back of the park). I'm not sure folks realize the canopy changes colors as well. I would go so far as to say: this may be one of the best additions to the MK (night-time) skyline in decades.

It probably won't be like it is at Shanghai because of the location. The canopy is hidden even from a significant part of Tomorrowland itself.

People may be able to see a portion of the top of it from the MK resorts, though -- not really sure.

well except for the giant box next to it...lol The unfortunate thing about the ride is that it is ridiculously and unsatisfyingly short... much like 7 Dwarfs... It just gets going and it is over.

Exactly why im not at all excited for this.. Disney already opened their superior ride at Epcot, this seems like a step backwards.

You can't appreciate it until you have seen it; the light thrown-off by this thing is tremendous.
Only a few short weeks before we see it in all it's glory.

It’s kind of cute how every so often someone comes in acting as if they’re the only to have ever experienced the attraction.

That's not the point?

In Shanghai, the whole area is designed for you to be able to see the canopy. It's not like that at the Magic Kingdom. It doesn't matter how much light it puts out if it's blocked from view by other buildings (other than potentially seeing some kind of glow in the sky).
