News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[Movielover]

Built it on rollercoaster tycoon in like 99…when dak was just a baby.

Just saying

I did so many versions of MGM and Magic Kingdom in Rollercoaster Tycoon. Had the full fledge Muppet Studios and Dick Tracey Crimestoppers. So many possibilities

We have the Little Mermaid show building in DHS. Universal would be able to recycle the attraction in under a year. Disney maybe 3-5 years.

Wasn't Mary Poppins suppose to be something like a carousel? Shouldn't take that long or that much $$$.

Chapek is leading a special task force to “find the money” for that

That was actually said outloud on a hot mic

So are they possibly not going to go through the standard CM, DVC, AP preview process?

Yes. They've already said they will, but dates have not been announced.

So if Cosmic Rewind was 2022’s big thing and Tron will be 2023’s, what will be 2024 or 2025’s?

A new popcorn bucket? (Tiana replacing splash I don’t consider a big addition because splash was already popular)

Water at Epcot!!!

Water at Epcot!!!

A return of Captain EO maybe

If they can make water flow uphill anything is possible...

Personally, I would just throw Crush’s Coaster where PW was, leave Dinoland otherwise intact, and add to Pandora.

I think Disney actually needs to get out of the coaster game for a bit. Animal Kingdom especially could use some dark rides without height requirements. HS and AK are the worst parks for families with young kids.

I agree on cooling down the coaster builds for a sec. After GotG and Tron, I think FL needs some dark rides and smaller rides for kids, esp in DHS and AK. But whatever they do it couldnt really be worse than whats currently going on in DinoLand I suppose

I get the “hit some doubles” / build a C/D-ticket attraction but I fear the budgets have exploded so much that any new build has to justify ILL revenues or increased attendance, rather than being a people eater to increase capacity.

I totally agree with the second part of your statement, that with budgets the way they are, new builds should be about increased revenue, either through LL or increased attendance.

That being said, I think you could build along the lines of RotR or FoP, definitely highlight LL attractions, but that aren't a roller coaster and don't have major height restrictions.

 

[Hakunamatata]

Some acronyms are just too confusing to be of any practical use

Im hoping it changes before opening but Im not certain this one was thought through too much.

Was going to say the same thing -- doesn't have to be a roller coaster to draw big crowds.

A new ride using the Shanghai Pirates system would be a hit, as would other attractions on the scale of RotR. Even the Beauty and the Beast trackless ride from Tokyo (despite its flaws) would probably be a massive draw.

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure may be the official name but I will call it To Be Avoided.

Yes, you should all definitely avoid ever even considering a ride on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.

I’ll just passive-aggressively wear my Splash t-shirt.

If I hear someone in the back of the log singing “Zip-a-dee-do-dah” at the top of their lungs through the whole Tiana’s ride I’m going to know it was you!

If you try to call me out on it, I’ll just tell you it’s “time to be movin’ along!”

Or wait outside the exit and start a fight!

I hope you’re not alone in that sentiment, will make the line that much shorter for the rest of us!

Kind of hard to tell since all of tonight's streamers thus far seem to be bobbleheads with potato phones, but it looks like several more trees have been added on the left after exiting the new tunnel.

EDIT: Someone finally rode the PeopleMover. Definitely lots more tall trees in the area just around Space Mountain, improving the view from both the train and the PeopleMover. The area in the forecourt with the missing section of concrete has also been flattened, and a quick glimpse of the interior of Light & Power through the upper windows suggests the arched trusses may have been resurfaced to make it look much less industrial inside. Now if we can just get some progress over by Storybook Circus, things will start looking good.

I'd take an indy ride over any of that trash proposed for MK and AK
