News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

Because they are generally uninteresting and unattractive.

Theme it well, have it not be an eyesore and I don’t think you will hear much in the way of complaints.
When you do that a lot of times you lose a lot of intensity and thrill. Don't get me wrong I like theming but I also like thrill too. IMO WDWs best ride isn't Rise or Guardians but Tower of Terror. It has the best balance of thrill and theming.

Sure, but I can go just about anywhere for thrills, not so much for theme. I believe that is why a lot of us come across as anti coaster. Most aren’t, we just want it themed well and exposed track generally isn’t. It can work but most of the time just doesn’t.

Now, if they want to give us more thrills with top level themeing, you won’t hear a single complaint out of me.

Also, I agree with you completely about ToT. One of the best rides they have ever built.

It’s just frustrating as a uk visitor I took a gamble of booking for October a year after the 50th as was hoping they would complete all the plans by then. And now most things will open after I have been. With the value of the pound and the constant price hikes I don’t know when I can return just disappointing for a previously regular visitor

Try Disneyland. Or Paris. Or Hong Kong. Or Tokyo. Or Universal….

We are.

Pretty bold of you! Not sure I could say one is better than the other - they both were built to offer different experiences. Hagrids IMO is only cool if you are on the bike, not the sidecar. But Veloci is a great overall thrill coaster.
I get it, it's personal preference. I (personally) just find the Hagrid's experience to be more unique that you can't find everywhere. I can ride thrill coasters at many many parks across the country. I can't ride a well themed good coaster at but a select few parks.

Same here. We shifting our focus to Tokyo now. While it ‘only’ has 2 parks, the overall experience is much better than WDW.

My friend is going in May and he just about had kittens when they said 'Spring'.

He’ll be fine. Am going end of March, and I hope to just manage it. Let’s face it: there is not 7 months worth of work left on this construction, even if you slow down progress massively. And once it’s ready, they’ll open it. There is no real marketing argument here between a March or May opening. The attraction is new and will pull in the crowds regardless. Plus it allows Disney to close Splash to start the conversion and start amortising the construction with ILL pricing.
