News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[lazyboy97o]

It’s not a pendulum if it only ever swings one way. What, precisely, is the source of optimism for the future? The parks have been broken at a deeply fundamental level for over a decade and a half - what actual evidence indicates that has changed?

You’re apparently choosing to come to this negative conclusion which implies you’re supposed to just ignore it.

If lockers are complimentary, i don’t think the pouches will last very long. capacity could get hairy if ops has to check if you still have large items on out when boarding + you have placed them in the pouch.

An issue for guests who use MDE, cell phone, for ride photos. Some guests either don't use MB or are using old MB

What about Hats? I know a few people who are, shall we say . . . committed to their headgear.

I'm talking more baseball caps than Mouse Ears.

Even Kevin Feige took his hat off when he rode it!

Between the simple tap to open, and the separate unload side, these may be the best lockers in theme park history. For those keeping score.

2nd best. Best goes to VelociCoaster, you don't even need to remember your exact locker number

You won't have to remember your number coming off of TRON either if you just swipe every locker.

And with the reliability of the MDE and Magic Band tech, if it does not open yours, it will open one with things in it just as good as yours, if not better.

Personally i will sit at the front; there could be a chance someone could fart sat infront of you and the odours could hit you - especially if you look at how the seating is arranged. Although this could give the attraction a brand new twist.


It is a rather random IP, but i am looking forward to this.

It only seemed like a random deep cut, but Bob Iger has a proclaimed love for it and is pushing a new Tron film in the next couple of years.

Your fart logic is flawed. You will already have been waiting behind people, plus you will wait longer for the front which will have more flatulent exposure probability than the minute ride time.

Valid points, however, when i am in a queue my nose isn't quite located near anyones rear end to be taking in any gas. Now i am not saying my nose will be directly in someone rear end on the actual ride vehicle of the attraction - but if you look at the design it will be directly horizontal to it and the distance isn't massive - thus any gas emitted would logically float towards my nasal passageways (if i was seated behind someone who would fart).

Gas of this nature has always risen, and the less than 14 people in front of you for a minute or so, constantly moving and partially outdoorswill be less chance of smelling than the gas smelling potential of a crowded queue where it matters of who is in front of you and behind you.
Don't risk it for the front row for the smell potential. The views however, my be worth the wait time investment.

Now what if I am trapped (seated) behind one of the great unwashed at 5:30 on an August afternoon? Note: they had the broccoli salad with extra mayo dressing at CHH for an early lunch .......

Gas will eventually rise. But the initial impact will be a horizontal movement of the gas . This will naturally hit any nasal passageways positioned behind the person who has just farted.

The ride vehicle is made in such a way that you may well be impacted if the rider infront of you lets one off with force.

Furthermore you have to take into account many guests will have eaten Turkey legs.

Flatulence should be the least of your concern. What you really need to watch for is hyperhidrosis! The riding position has you basically lying on the seat. On a hot, sunny Orlando summer day, if someone who excessively sweats gets on just before you, you may find yourself needing to rest your chest on a sweaty seat!

Vomit will also hit in an unprecedented way.

Disney thought TRON: Legacy was going to be the start of their next big franchise. The attraction slate for Shanghai Disneyland was approved shortly before the film was released. This attraction and Ratatouille came to Walt Disney World because there was a panic about capacity and the failings of NextGen so they grabbed things they thoughts could relatively cheaply and quickly be duplicated. It’s got nothing to do with Iger’s passion, he could have pushed for the proposed Shanghai Disneyland - Magic Kingdom co-development of the attraction or the third film over a decade ago.

It was mostly a joke because there is a clip of Iger going "I love Tron" but also, that was my point. Iger knew before approving FLs clone they were going to go back and attempt more Tron. It is no coincidence they are getting ready to try and do it again, with Jared Leto.

He loves Synergy too much.
