News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[jerseygirl29]

I could be wrong but I think Disney probably had a much grander vision for the 50th that Covid (partially) ruined on multiple fronts. I'm going at the (tail end?) of the 50th but it means nothing to me this way or that, so maybe you're right. It seems at this point the 50th is already forgotten for most, including Disney.

We booked our trip in December 2021 for this coming November - purposefully for the 50th. At first, I was so thrilled with everything they announced - Mickey and Minnie in new outfits, the gold statues, weird fizzle sparkler character heads to add to your drinks, castle overlay - and the thought of both Tron AND Moana journey of water being completed way ahead of our trip - now I’m feeling completely duped lol. The 50th seems like nothing special and if anything, I’m sitting here wishing I could cancel.

There are lots of great special desserts!

I don’t get it.

I think even Josh knew that the excitement in the community for Tron has really weathered because it’s taken so long

I actually think it’s more beautiful than the big random box sitting over at Epcot but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I certainly have a problem with the boxes, but I'm never going to find beauty in an exposed coaster that towers over what would otherwise be a well-themed area. That it diminishes recent improvements by encroaching on the Three Broomsticks is even worse.

I’m a glasses wearer but I must need to get my eyes tested because I actually couldn’t see the huge box for Guardians from within the park, I had to really look

It's actually decently concealed from within former Future World, though that might change when/if the connection to PLAY! is restored. On the other hand, it's very obvious when looking back toward World Discovery from the World Showcase, when riding the monorail, or when parking.

Anybody else find Universal's social media tack to be a total turnoff?

Like, I get what they're doing, and Disney certainly deserves to be called out on a lot of their stuff, but I feel like it's just such a bad look for them. It reeks of desperation. If your parks are so great why are you always talking about the guys down the street?

Hey now, that's not just some big random box.

That's the box Spaceship Earth came in.



Think they'll throw a giant ribbon on it for the Christmas overlay?

Well that opinion varies as many feel like it was perfectly incorporated into an abandoned area of the park. The coaster only goes over people in the waterfront and barely by three broomsticks, both lands are hardly impacted from within. If one thinks it’s ugly I can’t argue with opinion but they really did a great job incorporating this ride. If one’s concern is the impact on the lands of Jurrasic and Potter though, that’s odd as it hardly does.

In World Showcase it’s bad, especially when people take scenic pictures. But not bad from former Future World. At least Soarin has some stuff going around it to blend in, this one stand in its own.

Nope. I think it's fantastic the way they call Disney on their BS but it's often in a way only fans will appreciate as being the dig it really is.

It's a response to TDOs arrogance and years of trying to say the Disney way is the only way.
Social media is to create buzz not set policy and here you are buzzing

Many times they hit the mark, many times it does seem childish.

I’m glad they packaged Spaceship Earth with care. It really is a gem!

I can imagine them doing a holiday overlay where the huge alien during the ride is replaced with an angry Santa Clause whose looking for a lost cosmic cookie in space. We save the world & Christmas with the Guardians.

Yup, I see what they are Tron-ing to say

Yup - I find it very off-putting.

But I know lots of people who love it

Yeah, but getting people like me buzzing about how off-putting they are isn't nearly as productive as just, like, trying to actually get me excited about going to their park.
