Do you know why RMCs are so restrictive? They didn’t used to be, but events unfolded that made the company set very strict requirements. I doubt they would agree to a “big boy” row.

You don’t think they would make concessions to design and rebuild an iconic Disney ride in the most popular park on the planet? I do.

Carousel of Progress?
No I don’t, not when they’ve had to settle multiple wrongful death lawsuits (spoiler.)

Space mountain in a castle park wouldn’t be designed as anything close to as intense as other RMC’s. It would still be designed for a 42 inch limit and wouldn’t have inversions.
Have you ridden a non balls to the wall intense RMC? Because I haven’t, and I’m not sure one exists. It’s kind of their calling card.

Well all those big trees to hide the showbuilding still need to be installed so it might take a little longer.....

Tron probably should've been in Guardians's place at EPCOT & Guardians should've been in Hollywood.

My version of the parks (assuming it was required to add a Tron coaster and a guardians coaster) =
Tron coaster at Epcot replaces wonders of life - custom design that adds additional outdoor sections that adds kinetic energy.
Rock’n roller coaster becomes guardians coaster just like in Paris. That section can be marvel themed like at DCA.
MK gets beauty and the beast E-ticket in fantasyland and rebuilds space mountain and speedway.

I really like that besides Guardians being a reskin of RRnC. Cosmic Rewind is sooo much better lol
There is probably no other park in the world more in need of a major new ride than the MK. And after Tron opens, it will STILL be the park in most need of a major new ride.

RMC wasn’t even my thought. Someone else said it. I wouldn’t care.
What’s interesting about them to me is the smoothness of their track. Would definitely feel the most like flight, especially after years of potentially poor maintenance. The jerky ride of rock n roller coaster (for example) doesn’t lend itself to the idea of space flight like RMC’s track does. Some of the turns they design that do “against the grain” of the direction of the track just scream space flight to me.
RMC builds the rides their customers order. They aren’t going to turn down massive revenue opportunity and the spotlight job of space mountain because there’s not a 180 foot first drop.

The increased capacity comes from the new ride next door.

Magic Kingdom need far more capacity than what TRON is adding.
What, you don't think adding a headliner with a 1500-1600 HRC is going to thin out the crowds around MK?
Just think of the impact this and GotG would have had in a park like DHS, which has been hilariously mismanaged in terms of ride capacity for decades.

When I said RMC, I meant the ride system, not their "omg I'm going to die" ride designs. Ride layouts are, eventually, decided by the park, not RMC. The RMC single-track is ideal for keeping the "bobsled" design while making the ride more efficient and easier to maintain.
At the moment, I'm quite sure there's no other ride manufacturer able to produce bobsled-style tracks outside of RMC or a one-time project.
I think WDW is going to have to decide between RMC single-rail or Disneyland's version.
