Tron? Really? I hope not I loved that attraction in SDL. It's gonna be awesome!

All I ask is for some of that money to move a few yards south.
Yes.

TRON was my favorite attraction at SDL and TRON is the one attraction that has gotten interest from non Disney coaster fans and non Disney fans period. You may wish for it to be cancelled but I and many don't.
That’s why opinion is good. Even if this isn’t great for the park as a whole. IMHO.
In time I wonder if the TRON coaster will reduce Space Mountain to walk on status.

Even though Tron might not be what MK needs, it's a plus for capacity in a park that's short on it. Oh and it isn't replacing anything. Then again, it might make the capacity issues worse. I just hope this leads to them SM closing for 2 years while they gut and rebuild. We need a good omnimover to make a dent in the crowds.

Space Mountain seems to be more child friendly compared to Tron, so I don’t feel like that’ll happen. It might get wait times to less than an hour though.

I'm really looking forward to the TRON coaster. Since it was concept art was revealed for SDL and finally after it opened and seeing videos on YT - it's one of those Disney attractions that I am just dying to experience. I was a huge fan of the original movie in '82 as a little kid so the TRONiverse has a lot of nostalgia for me.

I’d argue great for the park, terrible for the parks.

How so? As in: a great addition to the Magic Kingdom at the expense of distributing the funds elsewhere where it is needed more? *cough*SpaceMountain*cough*
From the looks of it, many people will enter the SM queue thinking they're getting in line for TRON...

I just hope Space Mountain can receive a proper refurb after Tron opens.

Those have existing buildings. You can’t build a building without blueprints.

This is rumored to opening by summer '21, correct? Just in time for the 50th to kick-off? If so, I wouldn't expect to see much activity in terms of land clearing/construction until later this year or early next year.
I don't remember specifics, but there wasn't any real land clearing or construction for Everest until Jun or Jul '03, 30 months before it was open for previews/testing. So assuming a TRON date would be July '21 - I really don't expect to see trees or land being cleared or any cranes or construction activity in the area until maybe Nov or Dec of this year. That's assuming TRON's development takes as long as Everest's did. It may be quicker since it has already been built in Shanghai and the building itself is not as complicated as the Everest mountain was. Plus, no disco Yeti to install.
