Could the speedway be modified with augmented reality? That would severely undercut any tricks for Mario Kart at USO.
Looks like the concept art shows a spotlight beam coming from the direction of BLT.
Agreed.Dusting, painting, and removing hideous setpieces (gears!) goes a long way. The architectural stylings are already compatible as the new look actually complements the pre-90s look.
It is so far past time. Hopefully they do it soon after Splash reopens.Wonder how this fits in with taking Space down for the year or so it needs.
Surely they won't delay until Tron opens? That Splash Mountain refurb being moved forward intruiges me...
I don't know, it looks like the old motorboat S at DL to me!LOL the speedway is literally in the Tron concept art.
Use your eyes
I agree. Peoplemover is as important to me as doing Space Mountain or Splash Mountain. It's outdated yes, and some dark ride scenes (whether an IP like Stitch or unique) would make it feel fresh. But it is so much fun, and so relaxing.I am extremely excited about this project. The funny thing is that all negative comments and concerns are actually true, but it still does not matter to me. "Ride is short" - true, but it is a launched coaster and thrilling and those are generally short. "It's a clone" - again, true, but so what? It's a great ride. I would probably never ride it in China; I am for sure going to ride it in MK. "It's another IP" - well, yes, but does it really matter? In any case, it doesn't to me (at least not much and not in this ride). "It looks out of space in Tomorrowland" - this one is actually a positive . It looks better than the rest of the land. It gives me hope that Disney will significantly plus the land and our insiders have heavily hinted toward that.
I am actually very curious how far they will go with reinvigorating the land. Some things are obvious, like Space Mountain refurb and something, anything with Speedway, and I don't doubt they'll do them. But will they go far enough? For example, will they extend PeopleMover to include Tron? PeopleMover is one of my favorite underrated attractions and such extension plus some refurb love could really bring it up.
Alright, let's just see how it plays out.
Never say it's coming until it's built, but I will say they are not planning to add attractions and leave a hodgepodge of styles. Don't expect major changes to the show buildings of iconic attractions, but once things are complete it will all look nice together.
