News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[Just4Pics]

It is about the future. I think it fits in Tomorrowland perfectly, how things change, and even more- how things change in the course of one lifetime.. that so much is possible in the "future".

I love CoP, but that seems like a stretch. It literally shows an American family going through the past...

That's my take on it.. I've loved it since I was a child.. I'd walk out and think "I wonder what will come next".. while also looking back with wonder, and gratefulness, that so much has happened since the "past"...and that I was currently in such a neat time...looking forward to what more would come.

Maybe I'm just strange lol.. but it's always been one of my top 3 attractions for those reasons.. and I can't imagine it anywhere besides Tomorrowland.

Fair enough. I love it too. I have no problem with it where it is. Hopefully it will stay around for a long time.

So...can we include an expansion now by the Tomorrowland Transit Authority? Please

I think we assume the last scene gets jazzed up by the 50th.

 

[solidyne]

A lot of people don't know about that path.

Shhhhhh!

That may be a big part of it. It seems like it's set in the 80s, not the future.

Maybe we can focus on the Tron Coaster and not peoples personal opinions and experiences of CoP?

I know. How are we already drifting off topic? They announced like five new attractions 3 hours ago!

 

[21stamps]

Shhhhhh!

Right?! That's my go to travel route! How else do people get from fantasyland to Space Mountain?

 

[Timothy_Q]

Umm, sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the Light and Power building is still there in the concept art...

That's why I said it *was* the perfect opportunity. Obviously not in the plans

 

[Brer Oswald]

Its high time they get rid of that toxic fumes producing ride in Tomorrowland...and they should get rid of the Speedway too while they are at it!

Please for the love of all things good... just click ignore. Please.

This is an exciting day!! No need for negativity.

I dare say that art was by someone only connected to the coaster project.

Other art exists showing the speedway looking very different.

Any chance they could add a curved wall facade to that big blue box in the back!?

The showbuilding in Shanghai is completely visible from multiple angles both in and out of the park. Absolutely appalling for a Disney park. I hope the Magic Kingdom's Big Blue Box is hidden far better.

If it is, I suppose I can't complain. I would've rathered something unique. But it seems that Space Mountain: The Newer and Bigger One will be a popular addition.

The irony is that this ride is Shanghai's substitute for Space Mountain, and now we're getting it right next to ours.

I mean, it's better than another screen ride i guess

I'm confused. There are quite a few screens here.

Sort of like Spider-Man and Transformers at Uni.

 

[No Name]

Sort of like Spider-Man and Transformers at Uni.

Yes I agree.

Though at least those are in separate parks, not right next to each other.

 

[Notes from Neverland]

Extremely excited about this addition! An addition! What fun words to type.

Like the way they hid the Soarin' theaters at Epcot?

Technically, the big box could be built at true ground level, lower than the train track, so it doesn't destroy MK sightlines. We'll see how WDI handles this.
