News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[Bocabear]

well not to hate, but it is pretty much copy and paste... and there were better parks to place it in. I am glad we are getting this at WDW...but it is not original anymore or groundbreaking...and my only complaint on the Shanghai version ( which is the same) is the ride length...you just get started and it is over... but it is pretty.

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.

The ride is in one location globally. It’s a unique and groundbreaking experience for a majority of the people attending. Not sure where else I’m going to go to get this experience. It goes beyond vehicle design but the whole project as a whole. Again, for me it is revolutionary and groundbreaking when you look at the project as a whole. You want to call it copy and paste go for it. With that said there is nothing factual about your facts. It is an opinion.

How was it not a copy and paste?

How was it not a copy and paste?

Would you like WDW to say that in it's advertising?
What would be the point?
The ride exists in one location on the other side of the world.

I think the point I was making is… there are always valid critiques one can level towards Disney.

And then there are “old man yells at cloud” comments.

It’s not “unique and groundbreaking” for TOMORROWLAND, let alone for the world.

The real question is… have they finally paved that one spot?

Disney has shared a new nighttime video showcasing the canopy -

Thanks for sharing the video. The canopy looks great.

I didn’t say anything about advertising. I was asking about the assertion that TRON is and always was intended to be a copy and paste as much as possible is not a fact and just a matter of opinion.

Debbie Downers aside, I'm excited. It's a fun ride. Not going to blow everyone away but at night will be a blast and most people will love it. The launch is pretty cool by Disney standards. Gives it enough thrill while still keeping it within reasonable MK thrills standards.

It is an exact replica of Singapore. With that said, the "Copy and Paste" tag is being used to discredit what many people consider to be an amazing attraction. Like I said, it is still a unique attraction unless you've been on the Singapore Tron ride, which is very few and far between. Thats my point.

It doesn’t seem like even the folks who’ve ridden it and enjoyed it consider it “amazing”…

I would have to say that I’ve never heard anyone describe the Shanghai version as “amazing”. It’s a 90 second launch coaster. At the end of the day, it is a copy and paste attraction. Its extremely long construction timeline makes the “copy and paste” worse. If it had opened in a reasonable time, you would probably see less people complaining about it being “copy and paste”. They literally picked it up (rollercoaster tycoon style) and plopped it down in Tomorrowland .
