Disagree with calls to make Space Mountain a single track attraction. For this style of attraction, 2.5 minutes is honestly the perfect length. I've never ridden Space Mountain and wish it had continued longer 
Also, one track would mean half the capacity which is the last thing we need at MK (even with Tron).

space mountain’s theoretical hourly throughput is 2000. That’s the same as everest and very close to Aerosmith and most others built for huge parks.
The bobsled configuration cancels out the benefit of two tracks. One longer track would mean a longer ride and potentially more blocks for trains/capacity.
Current capacity of SM is not a valid argument to not change it.

Ah duh, good point.
But kick them to the back row, at least they’ll be able to ride.

So design something similar into an RMC.
The line for that back cart for tron is going to be longer than the line for the front.
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.
