News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[Bocabear]

Where is the pink on SM?

the loading area... the details on the walls are all pink and gray... the blue lights help mask it but it is odd...especially when someone takes a flash picture or they turn on the lights....

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.

And had the track replaced with equally jerky new track.

Beware the ides of March (and AI)

Beware the ides of March (and AI)

After Hours at MK goes through March, I doubt Disney would be willing to include Tron without the chance to up the price of those tickets. Or they don't intend to include Tron in the After Hours.

In times past a brand new ride is not part of an upcharge event. Everyone would buy a ticket so they could ride and the line would still be way too long. Ops nightmare

FoP was available for DAK AHs.

I rode it 17 times in a row.

Considering all the MK dates are still available except next week's, I would think they'd use this as a selling point.

They could easily limit this to one ride per person.

I did it 2 times in a row with rider swap this past trip and I am almost fell asleep in the pre-show, couldn't listen to that guy 17 times

We had bad luck on the DAK AHs night, poured rain so Everest down then Navi was down for waits were still around 45 minutes. Much less than daytime waits, but not the greatest.

Yikes. I would have gone to guest relations looking for some 'magic.'

The only reason we didn't ride FoP more often than 17 times was the lengthy walk all the way out and down and around and back up again. By the third time around, it was a walk on, but that walk added 5 minutes each time.

In the days after the COVID reopening I rode 7 times (4 consecutive and then 3 consecutive). If it wasn't for the reduced pre-show they were using I couldn't have done that.

We could have kept going on and on and on. It was especially convenient because they were allowing cut through re-rides from the exit hall back to the entrance. However, we found that the experience stops being as good when you ride so many times in a short period. Your brain starts to get used to the effect.

When it was getting busier in the subsequent months we found that it was more enjoyable when you'd have to wait 20 or 25 minutes in the queue after the first ride.

They announced this ride when I was a junior in high school. Now I’m set to graduate college with my masters… I’m going February 23- March 2nd. I’m hoping it will be open it looks ready but who knows with them

Congrats on 2 years of HS and 3 years of college to get your masters.
