News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[Captain Barbossa]

Last time I took the steam train tour, we were told they run bio at WDW. Thought the buses and trams used CNG. Hmm...

They went through a brief period of running bio, but it didn’t prove to be as successful as they’d hoped, so they switched back to #2 oil.

That’s about right

I was beginning to wonder if I needed to reschedule my April trip. Whew!

Wonder when the train will be back up !

Much earlier than that. Signs are pointing to December.

You can't hit the walls with your body parts unless you exit your seats. Much like space for most people. Looks can be deceiving

I can hit the celling in the launch tunnel before the chain lift... after touching that I keep my hands down on the ride.

Clearance looks much closer than the Splash tunnel.

Looks are deceiving and lead to internet inaccuracies.

You can smell the difference.

Don’t worry, that project is on track for completion. It’s really full steam ahead. Disney is conducting testing now. When it comes to maintaining the trains, management is all aboard.

In other words, no need to derail the Tron conversation?

Did you see the new dueling coaster construction at epic U? They started construction 3 weeks ago and are already doing vehicle testing.

Tron will be “ready” to be open in weeks. Crazy because it’s only been 5 years since it’s announcement. The previous regime would have dragged it out for months. But I think josh understands that the perception part of the business is as important as the reality. Just open it. Who cares about selling it. It will sell itself. If they learned anything from ROTR, people delay bookings as opposed to making bookings.

The train was running as in open for guests to ride? Or just more testing?

Testing. No one nor no simulacrums on the trains.
