I have a question. First I will say it looks like a very fun coaster and most will love it.

The problem I see with it is that I see it as no better theming wise when what Busch Gardens Williamsburg is building with DarCoaster. Does nobody else see that as an issue? At one point in time Disney was the standard for new attractions.

I think it’s more heavily themed than RnRC and Space Mtn. from videos. Hard to judge before riding in April, though.

This is usually the best we can hope for in a gravity box. Hell, even EE has completely unthemed interior passages and it was made by St. Rohde. Matterhorn was hollow at opening, right?

Makes you realize how special BTMRR is.

Please. It’s a box with some wavey bits.
Disney has been very coaster heavy lately, in regards to adding new attractions, and quite frankly they're just not good at it. They will never build a true thrill coaster, because they want to be "more family friendly", and they give us Tron, arguably the most boring launch coaster out there... and it still took them over a half of decade to build.
I miss the days that Disney would innovate with new ride systems, the EMV, ToT, Test Track etc.
Hell, even Everest had the fastest track switch when it opened, what is so special about Tron... we've have vekoma booster bikes since 2004...

Why? Disney’s completely broken project delivery process absolutely has an impact on guests. That many don’t know about it doesn’t mean it should just be ignored.

It doesn't factor into the general enjoyment of an attraction by the general public, so while it is something to be discussed on a message board, it has nothing to do with whether Tron is going to be a success or not... which is kinda what the discussion was about.

Really makes you think who’s copying who in Orlando.

A visitor going to Disney once ever other years or even every three years would go and think to themselves, "Sheesh, are they still working on this? I wonder what went wrong..."

judging by a recent video showing the exit pathway of tron, it seems like there will also be a small gift shop at the exit as well. it had a curtain over it in the vid but looked to be a pretty decent sized walkthrough style exit store

Is there an accessible car on every train? If so, what if nobody in line needs that car? Are able-bodied people condemned to sit in the inferior car or does capacity suffer?
I don’t think so. I think your language in the rest of your response is rude but… I’m sure if you’d rather not sit in that seat they wouldn’t force you to. Granted that I don’t think there is one of those on every train, there will probably be a wait for it. At least initially
