News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

Tron bowling league?

Stop being mean. He’s extremely proud to have finally bowled a 115 game.

Nice work, Kevin.

Next week they vs Avengers Campus bowling League, and they often get confused, they are tired of it, and are willing to drop the bumpers to prove it.

Vaguely reminiscent of a tuxedo t-shirt.

The new Disney Look, or Jeff Bridges looking for his part in the Jared Leto Tron movie? I can't tell.

Gotta love how they are making this out to be a "groundbreaking" new ride... its existed for years Disney, this is just a copy and paste. Nothing groundbreaking here besides your absolute failure in getting this ride built in any reasonable timeframe.

How are they making this out to be groundbreaking?

Well since it is the only new ground up attraction to be built in the most visited theme park in the world for nearly a decade...

It is. They had to break ground to build it.

Okay your now Disney.

How would you market it?

“Oh nothing to see here, just a boring coaster that the majority of you didn’t know already existed in Shanghai, but surprise, it does, so this is lame, and don’t book a trip”

I think one can understand the point of a marketer's job while still claiming specifically that the powers that be, and their lack of reinvestment back into the most profitable theme park they have, made marketing's job a lot harder.

Looking forward to riding this when the hype dies down and during special event nights where it’s almost or is a walk on.

Maybe you can loop it and make it a reasonable length

Exactly lol

Related question- it says there is a pocket for wallet/phone/glasses. Can you really not wear glasses? If not, as someone who only wears Rx glasses (not contacts), I wouldn’t be able to see enough to enjoy it. I’ve never had an issue on other coasters, including RnRC.

I wore glasses in Shanghai and had zero problem. This coaster is not intense so not sure what the issues will be?

I'm going to break my self imposed ban and go April 15th so I can ride this and GoG............This is groundbreaking.........I bet less than 1% of the people that visit WDW have been to Shanghai..........So it's a groundbreaker to anyone that hasnt ridden it yet

Calling this ride copy and paste is just silly. It is new. It is revolutionary imo. Not going to go to Shanghai, likely ever like most people, so yes this it is unique. I'm going this summer because I haven't been on TRON, GOTG, or Ratatouille. Can't wait.

Haters gonna hate.

TRON is as close to a copy and paste as can be done. That is a key reason why it was built. There is nothing silly about recognizing that fact.

It is also not revolutionary or groundbreaking. The big gimmick of the ride vehicles uses Vekoma’s third generation of the vehicle design.

You can be excited and still acknowledge these facts.

Hey kids, come ride something based on an easily-forgotten movie from 41 years ago that no one watched...it's the next greatest thing!
