News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[ChrisFL]

RnRc is more than just the ride though, it has a pre-show experience and sort of build-up to the ride. Not having seen a lot of the queue area of TRON yet (even the Shanghai one), is there any type of pre-show?

Fair...although total duration of Tron from start to end is closer to 2 minutes. Less of course if you start from the launch sequence, but that disregards the build up. Also, there are some pre-show effects that someone posted earlier.

RnRc is about 1:07 from launch to breaking.

Bottom line..length of ride is on par with RnRc, with what I consider better effects at beginning and end...

Yeah, launching coasters are usually pretty quick. GotG and Hagrid’s are the exceptions.

No Daft Punk animatronics?

Everything isn’t perfect. You’ll see it one day.

I do see it! I routinely criticize WDW (see my posts about fiberglass character statues, Disney's nickel and diming, or any of my ongoing rants about acoustic tile drop ceilings)! But there's a thoughtful way to do this and there's constantly complaining about everything.

I double-dog-dare you to start a new thread listing all the things you like (present tense) about WDW! Or to post in this thread something you like about TRON (without a qualification, downside, or additional complaint). Come on, you can do it!

Anyone find a good recording of the TRON area background music from within the area? The examples I'm finding are not good.

Christine McCarthy just wants us all to be able to fit into these seats.

Be prepared to wait for the last row accessible seats. They only installed them on a few trains.

Not that there are any surprises, but here's the first full ridethrough I've found of MK's Version:

How can you not love that?

Because if naked coaster track excited me, I’d be going to Cedar Point?

 

[Patcheslee]

Because of the lighting effects, I wonder how many people will delay entering the VQ after their group is called to ride at night. Admittedly I'll probably do a ILL specifically for that reason.

Canopy lights are not in show mode, and they seem to be “stuck”, like the computer controlling it crashed or something. It’s blue and not animated/moving, as if someone hit pause.

Tron from launch to brakes is pretty much almost exactly 60 seconds.

I personally time rides from the moment you leave the station and return, putting Tron at 1:50

Space Mountain Paris is also roughly 1:50 from load to unload, which does include a decent hold time waiting for the launch (from the video I used to time)

If going from strictly launch to main brakes, Tron was 1 minute, Space Mountain Paris 1:17.

It's not naked track.
The outdoor section is under a beautifully shaped canopy that has lighted moving effects at night.
A portion of the ride is outside - under that beautiful canopy - the rest of the non naked track is inside the ride building, complete with beautiful effects.
But otherwise, yeah - it's just like Cedar Point.

There is going to be a lot of angry guests asking for refunds my guess. I know many would have hated it but they should have put a test seat at entry. It would have avoided having so many angry guests. The walk of shame will not be a good look for Disney.

I swear it looks like the interior portion of the ride is slightly different than Shanghai especially the end tunnel seems much longer before the unload station

Cedar Points launched coasters are more intense and longer.

Yep. The video included above is 2:02 from standstill to standstill.

Great video walking through area a bit more.

I’ll list some! MMRR is really great. AK is a wonderful park - even Dinoland, which gets too much hate. RotR is fun, and the Star Tours redo is an improvement on the original and the most re-rideable attraction in Orlando. Old classics like ToT and SE retain all their splendor. Even Rat was a pleasant addition to the resort. Many of Disney’s hotels, such as the Lodges and Port Orleans, remain beautiful and immersively themed.

When you don’t consider the resorts trajectory, prices, or the overall experience, there’s a huge amount to love about modern WDW. Which is exactly why folks like me are so grumpy about it.

(Tron’s still a very lackluster addition in a horrible location, though).

True, they closed Disaster Transport.
