Does anyone know where this picture was taken from? It’s the best view of the two together that I’ve seen. Also, has Space Mountain’s lighting routine been changed to sort of match Tron’s?

I think it has to be from the Swiss Family Treehouse. The angle is right and that's the only place I can think of where you would be elevated enough for a photo like that.

The trains are not the only thing, you keep saying there are zero Tron references on the ride yet photo after photo proves this is false, yet you keep on insisting that its true. No matter how much denying it the ride is a Tron ride that is themed to the movies. I don't know why you keep stubbornly insisting that there are zero references to the movie when there clearly are.

The out of proportion yellow cycle some riders see for a second, that crash in a way they don't in the movie

More than a second. Go back and watch the movie which I honestly don't even think you have done. The second blue cycle that is taken out crashes exactly like the one in the ride, an out-of-control wobble leading to the bike flipping over and exploding.

You'll also notice a severe lack of hexagons..

And those last 2, you pass through a total of 8 of them during the ride.
Come on man if you are going to continue to be this factually wrong about a topic don't make it so easy to prove how much you are lying.

Why would there be? The ride is purely based on Legacy, the only thing that the GP would recognize.

I don’t really have an opinion on the “what’s it themed to” fight, but I disagree with this - Tron has a modest but still secure place in the pop culture zeitgeist, while I doubt most folks remember the sequel even existed. Recency doesn’t really help Legacy here - 12 years ago is much more then enough time for a film to slip out of the public consciousness. I suspect the biggest remaining footprint from Legacy is the soundtrack and this ride.

Wow, dude you are obsessed with arguing this has themeing from the movie. You will notice a severe lack of hexagons IN THE MOVIE. That isn’t TRON theming, it’s neon hexagon themeing.

Where are the Recognizers to zoom under? Where is the grid to ride through?

Where is the part of the movie where thy spend half the time outside in the sun?

"Keep those programmers out of the system and get me that Chinese language file I asked for". MCP, Tron 1982.

It is funny that life immitates art. This could have just as easily have been a quote from Bob Iger about the project form Shanghai.

Funnily enough, this ride made me re-watch Tron Legacy.
I don't really find this ride that great, but if money was no object I would re-do all of Tomorrowland to fit within the aesthetic. Specifically night. I would thoroughly enjoy an entirely enclosed Tron-morrow land.

I think Tomorrowland is a really hard land to design. I don’t really have the ideas and vision for Tomorrowland as I do for other areas, that said, years back, someone posted a mock-up of the Tron canopy flanking both sides of the Tomorrowland entrance, and it looked fantastic!

As I type this, I realize I have a lot of ideas, but honestly most of them center around the Tron aesthetic that you mention.

Out of all the Tomorrowland’s, Shanghai’s and Paris’s Discoveryland are the most effective, with each having their own flaws, but regardless.

Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland needs to address the empty stitch building, weak buzz attraction, cosmic Ray, the ugliness of the speedway, and most importantly, the massive concrete expanse and ugly bathrooms afforded by the the removal of the skyliner.

Shanghai’s multi-elevation works so well, if coupled with Discoveryland’s water features, that corner could be fully revitalized.

I don’t think anywhere in Magic Kingdom necessitates work. Facade upgrades in Fantasyland would be nice, but Tomorrowland has so much squandered potential.

And you seem hell bent on dismissing this attraction no matter what I or anyone else here says.

This style that is replicated in the ride is all over the movie. like it or not the ride is based on TRON Legacy. You can continue to go on deny it, but you only make yourself look more foolish by claiming the ride has nothing to do with the movie. I and others on here have tried to convince you but it's clearly a lost cause. My advice, go outside and touch some grass, clear your head. I hope one day you'll come around to riding the ride, heck maybe you'll even enjoy it. Good day sir.

You're the one scouring the net for hexagons and found ONE.

I could just a easily say it is themed to Test Track.

The fact that there isn't a single Recognizer shows they totally phoned it in.

it would be cool if there was a recognizer right at the start of the indoor portion that you flew under. maybe they could add a laser projected one in the future...?
