Master of ignoring EVERYTHING the person says, then ranting about something aimlessly.

Seen here with another user:


You're complaining that a ride, that has accessible seats, is burdensome to its intended audience, because? This makes negative sense.

I’ll note you swapped the order of the first two posts, creating the impression you were responding to me. You weren’t.

OK, you seem to be primarily championing two things about Tron. One is that the exterior is pretty. It is, from a particular vantage. But it’s placement is awful and it’s hidden from most of the park so that advantage is largely erased. It is absolutely NOT something most people will walk past as they exit the park like the fountain.

The second element you praise is the seating position. I’ve discussed that at length. To reiterate the point you seem to miss, if the primary point of the ride is the restrictive seating position, offering conventional seating isn’t particularly helpful because almost the ONLY POINT of the ride is the seating position. It is one of many reasons why building a ride in which the only unique or exceptional is the seating position is fundamentally a terrible idea.

I’ve responded to the other posts.

As I made clear with suggesting that Hagrid’s is better on the motorbike (which happens to not as effective as Tron’s motorbike), it makes the ride better.

Tron, without the seating, is still a cool, fun, ride. Just like Space Mountain is next-door.

I wasn’t responding to you.

You responded to the topic in my post with this:

I know that when I think of what made Disney parks great, I think of seating position. Pirates? Imagination? Thunder? It’s all about that seating position. Even Universal’s best, most beloved ride, Spidey, has a really unique seating position. It’s a shame that Disney is building rides that a lot of people can’t ride, but as long as those rides make people sit in a slightly unusual way, it’s all worth it. Man, if you make that seating position unconventional enough, all you have to do is move the vehicles into a dark empty warehouse for a few seconds - folks will love it!

Which led to the subsequent number of posts, and resulted in you claiming I never mentioned the other strengths of Tron.

I'd say "quit your %&tchin'"

SDMT opened 9 years ago in 2014 and is still the hardest ride to get on in MK and thats short

Its a new ride in MK that desperately needed one..........

It changes the entire atmosphere at night in tomorrowland (and even beyond)

Short? Yeah, but so what........

Leaves you wanting to go back for more

SDMT and SDD were both rides that were better than Disney or guests expected them to be. They are both underbuilt D tickets.

How much of that Kinetic energy is lost by it's placement so far away from the rest of the land?

Not really much kinetic energy. The main kinetics are under the canopy itself. The general ambiance as a whole? Incredibly underutilized (I suspect, haven’t seen WDW's in person, but I was impressed by the testing last summer, so maybe not as significant as we think?)
