So does this mean the big Tron sign attached to the building near entrance is not included in this version?

To those who have experienced the ride, Is that seating position comfortable? Looks like it might be a bit awkward or might be perfectly fine.

As with most coasters... it depends... but in my experience, who it will be most uncomfortable for are the very tall. The very large simply won't fit the restraints and will be told to walk. The very tall need to contend with the awkward leg restraints. I'm 6'2" tall and ~180 lbs and I found the restraints to be very nice.

The restraints are much more along the lines of FoP than Hagrids (even on the motorbike side of Hagrids, the seating is still mostly upright with the restraint being essentially a traditional lap-bar; people may lean forward to hold the handles, but the seating is still rather traditional). But unlike FoP, you lean much further forward on Tron and the restraints are better designed to cradle your body. The riding position feels much more similar to a flying coaster (just above the track) than a traditional coaster. Being forced to lean so far forward gives an enhanced feeling of speed.

Anyone have any guesses/information on when this might be part of an after hours event? Looks like they end in March before this opens. Wife and I were planning on going in April, but might hold off now to avoid the Tron rush

What was the last ride to be “Presented By…”?
Could this be why we have a rollercoaster in the dark next to a rollercoaster in the dark?
Or did Disney ask Enterprise to sponsor GotG, they said yes but Chevrolet said it was a weird conflict of interest…

They were building it before they had a sponsor attached. Enterprise probably will only help them recover something like 5% of the cost.

Correct. It makes sense because the entrance is essentially the start of the ramp, and I think it looks alright especially since the canopy isn’t blue.

Regardless, I am still a fan of the original plan.
