News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[MisterPenguin]

This is true, but close enough for the synergy factor. It will have a lot of the same aesthetic. Might as well call it "Tron: Reboot"

Yes. Let's return to life inside a computer with a Reboot!!

I thought that when I typed it. I was a target demo for that show, and I still could not get into it.

Does the “O” not spin like it does in Shanghai? I know it’s a much smaller sign by far, but they still could have done that

The already had a vote of no confidence when they aborted the sequel, cancelled the television show and stopped all of the other ancillary product work.

I thought they greenlit TRON:Ares with Jared Leto?

Choosing Jared Leto to star in a movie seems like a pretty big vote of no confidence!

Some contract deal somewhere. That is also now who is playing The Hatbox Ghost.

eww.

But alas, as of now it is still known to be happening.

This attraction wasn’t about synergy. It was something quick and easy to add capacity, not part of some grand master plan to once again make a big push for TRON.

The quote above was talking about the movie with Jared Leto moving forward again. Not the attraction.

As far as the attraction goes, For sure that is the primary function. Not mutually exclusive.

Tiana has a show in the works that the new attraction will be based on.
Tron will be an asthetic pushed for again that the movie content itself can be shallow when relating to.
You typically see an animated merch push for whatever movie is being remade into live action.


It is common now.

I share because that is the point of these videos for this youtuber. It seems fairly forgiving for most. All body types or different but this should give many a good idea, and I suppose things could have changed compared to the test seat a year or more ago.

This may give some a basis to work off of, thanks to this kind person for sharing.

This can’t be true because “rumors” say some people don’t fit… which means on message boards - disaster, nobody fits!!!! Also… if you only time from launch to when it gets dark it’s under 30 seconds. Shortest ride ever!!! Meanwhile video right after shows actually undisputed length…. But but don’t start until launch and stop at first break point… ain’t the interwebs great!

I'm hearing smaller people find it very awkward, maybe shut it down and order new trains?

 

[mikeymouse]

anyone have a shot of the back car? would it be better for a bigger person?

Nobody I have seen has exaggerated the length when giving times.

He didn’t… there’s a Tron coaster opening in 2 months. Despite neither movie doing well commercially.

A coaster with a TRON sign, and cars that look like the bikes from the second movie.

No Tron characters, no walls being created by other bikes in the game grid. No MCP, and the worst miss... no Recognizers to fly through the legs of.

I’m guessing part of the problem is a lot of people think they won’t fit or are unsure just based on looking at it and reading rumors. It’s possible with a little time and experience (for both guests and operations) the balance of lines could be closer to what is expected.

There has been some viral stuff about sizing that doesn't align with facts

 

[ToTBellHop]

Maybe people just won’t ride and this will be relatively simple to ride like Cosmic Rewind…

From the video of the large sized guy demonstrating fitting on the vehicle, I can see that the position is less radical than it appears to be.
You're more or less sitting straight down, and just leaning forward a bit.
I'd imagine some larger people and/or those with mobility or injury issues to hips or knees might have difficulty straddling that vehicle - especially during the mount and dismount.
