Donno about that. You've got sites out there making tens of thousands of dollars on this stuff.

Wow. That does look cool. I can't wait to try it out.
Yes...the box needs to be dealt with, but it's not terrible. Just add an ENCOM logo and make it look somewhat like a PC tower.
ENCOM
ENCOM is an American multi-national computer technology corporation that developed many important programs and technologies such as digitization hardware and software, the MCP, and Tron. In the 1980s ENCOM was mainly focusing on defense systems, but quickly began focusing more on video games...

It is truly astounding. One day I'm going to talk about the economics of this.

Okay, I did a blog post yesterday around when I thought TRON might open. It could be entirely wrong, and I know other smart people here have heard different, earlier dates.
One thing I didn't write about was the additional revenue Disney will get from ILL sales of TRON. So here's a ballpark estimate of that (which, again, can be wrong).

Still would have rather had this in Epcot over Guardians. It would look really cool next to disco ball SSE, complement Future Worlds exponential architecture and a computer/gaming pavilion would work really well. That canopy is a work of art imo.
It is, but then it all seems to fall apart when it looks like an organic flowing shape bolted onto the front of a straight-edge highly visible box.
Thanks for this Len, interesting numbers.

It would take a Cat5 hurricane to prevent that.

or speed of disney slows down even more
Nice! I'm glad someone put this down on... err... electronic paper?
I ran a similar scenario when someone suggested Disney should build more rides and use ILL to get their money back "quickly". GotG was used as the example - it would only take something like 8 years to make back its costs if they sold 90% of estimated ride capacity every day, 12 hours per day, 365 days a year, at $15/rider with zero downtime. If using ILL to "get their money back" was the actual goal of ILL and not as just another revenue stream.
I read your blog and your thoughts on when Tron will open don't please me unless it means by my arrival date of 4/18.

Have you heard if the train will open before Tron or they will open at the same time?

I think you'll be fine. Don't stress over that.
