News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[Disney Analyst]

Guardians was very long, and CMs had multiple ride opportunities. Great for the Cast, but probably isn't necessary to be that long.

I'd also add, Guardian's likely had a longer preview period as it was a fully new attraction, that needed testing with CM's / Guests.

Tron is a clone, it has been tested, it likely already has a pretty solid ops plan from Shanghai = smaller preview period.

Have they finally completed standard operating testing yet? The last I heard they were having trouble getting it to run reliably enough (80 hour rule?) to achieve the threshold needed to open.

Bummer. I was really hoping it would be open last week of March. Maybe there will be a soft opening.

If this isn't open by May 2nd I will be very disappointed.
Our first ever visit to Disney was December 2019 and we saw the construction, we have now been 3 times since then (May being our 4th) and it still isn't open lol

 

[surfsupdon]

Tron?? They’ve been dangling the carrot for years. Don’t even care any longer.

I’ll be there at some point. If it’s open great. If it isn’t I’m fine.

CM emails about early April previews going out.

We arrive the 18th. We already have MK reservations for the 20th, 22nd and 26th! Glad to be at another park the 21st.

Actually we were planning to hop to MK on the 22nd. Hmmm, that may be out of the question now...

CM emails about early April previews going out.

So that would imply 4/21/23 opening?

It would but I’d love to see the text of the email.

Line 1 is the world record score in the TRON video game.
Line 7 is Kevin Flynn, with the original TRON release date.

Could #8 be how much the ride weighs?

 

[James Alucobond]

Could #8 be how much the ride weighs?

Very possible. My other thought was that it might have something to do with Lora Baines (Bradley) / Yori and that perhaps modifying the prior Kevin Flynn number via addition or subtraction might yield something, but that's probably less likely.

Thanks to CLU, Zach Riddley and Disney Parks announcements, I've discovered that the opening dates for "TRON: Lightcycle/Run" was actually "March 21, 2023 (3-21-2023)" in Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom, as part of Walt Disney World's 50th Anniversary celebration and the Disney 100 Years of Wonder celebration!!!

And that was a secret codes, when I can't wait for see a sneak preview of a new ride, "TRON: Lightcycle/Run"!! So, The final answer is #2!!! Got it?

Saw that in DTB. I dont get it. What’s the rationale?

I’m also curious to see where this date comes from. Seeing it all over now.

It’s not 3/21/23. People are making it up


I honestly dont know wth they are waiting for. They have big crowds for spring break and Easter. Why not open it earlier?

Glad I'm not the only one who's now mostly interested in what #8 is about
