News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[_caleb]

Well sure. And if you get enough Guavey, you'll have your very own B&M right there in the privacy of your own home.

Ew. Funny, but ew.

I don't expect that. I would love to see a B&M installed.

There it is. The only RC acronym I actually know. (Thanks to Canada’s Wonderland.)

No, they have a prototype called the Donut Coaster and it’s deliciously dizzying.

Sounds like a Hersheypark coaster to me

Saw this today and thought of this thread.

That’s a sure fire way to induce more demand, which is exactly what you don’t want.

the demand will always be there for MK - so they need to seriously expand the park. They did a good job with the new hub but that’s just a start.

The strong baselines demand is part of why it would be foolish to do things that would induce even more demand when capacity isn’t there to meet existing demand. Expansions don’t have to be marquee experiences.

I apologize if I missed it but is there a thread regarding Tron previews yet? The post for Cosmic Rewind served me very well and I want to make sure I am signed up.

Good.

Now about the inside of the mountain...

And that castle thing.....

And that castle thing.....

And the way guests dress....

I must be the only person that has no issue with Space Mountain. Three of us (ages 48-53) rode it in October 2021 and we laughed the entire time! It felt like we were going so fast, didn't feel overly bumpy to me and you could certainly see the special effects.

Still love this ride after all this time. I don't think I will love Tron as much!

I still love Space Mountain, but it really needs some tlc.
The props along the lift hill could use a dusting.

It would be wonderful to seem the really plus-up Space Mountain...Keep the ride experience what it is as far as track layout, but new smoother track, refreshed set pieces with 21st century technology, Replace the speedramps and a whole new exit display... Use all the Horizons sets and a bunch of the AAs...really make it the WOW that it once was. It is architecturally significant, beautifully designed from the start, and worthy of the investment.

The steel supports are reaching the end of their lifespan. The indoor track needs to be completely replaced. This thing needed this years ago. It’s younger sibling at DL had it done 15 years ago.

As long as they do not reconfigure the layout when they do... It is an amazing twisted sculpture of trackwork. Would hate to see it shortened or the experience lessened.

Why not do what they did with the Paris version and add inversions?

Anyone have any updated TRON photos from yesterday or today?

Better start a "What will happen to Space Mountain" thread to draw them off.

I hope this doesn’t happen. Overly intense roller coasters are a no-no for me; Space Mountain is the perfect level of thrill.
