News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[Rider]

I'm sure they have no enforcement of this but it's pretty rude.

Now for real posting: It's pretty good. The launch is really fun but the whole ride is short. I think I prefer Guardians at Epcot but it's a solid addition to Magic Kingdom.

Oh and the locker system is very clever.

"Dated" is part of the theme of both Tron and Tomorrowland isn't it? Retro-future, yesterday's concept of the future. If so this theming would be on-point. Or do you mean the art is too modern looking for the theme?

Well, there are pretty important differences between “retro-future” and “dated.” Retro-future is so beyond a dated vision of the future that it leans into a certain nostalgia people have. For example, the Tomorrowland sign replacement:

Dated:

Retro-future:

Also, there’s nothing retro about the blue lights along the walls in the queue, the launch room, the light cycles themselves, or really any part of the attraction, so even art that’s consistent with the retro-future style of the land marquee and Space Mountain would be out of place. Art that looks like it’s from 2005 (but worse) makes even less sense.

Thanks for these great pics!

I do feel like going with the full white for the Canopy was a mistake, it looks so gray and drab in full daylight. Even just a slight hint of blue like they have in Shanghai would have made a difference.

I’m wondering if this was left in place from the CM previews.

I would say it's actually a tad bit lower due to dispatch delays and the normal seats in the rear.

The Shanghai one also has those seats.

I think there are more of them in this iteration

They added another just recently, and I've heard they are planning to add more.

When just about every video game you ever played ended with "GAME OVER," did you think the game developers were being rude to you?

I see Bob Chapek managed to make it to the Magic Kingdom for a ride! And they even let him sit in the front row!

 

[Hawg G]

I’ve brought it up here a few weeks ago but I don’t think anyone else here has. The worst offenders are the still art along the walls… way way too cluttered, with outlines around everything. Looks jarringly dated.

Needs more hexagons

Not that part. The part that says to leave the park immediately. As if you are not allowed to do anything else at Magic Kingdom today.

Could this have been mainly for the DVC preview?

This was for CM previews. They probably forgot to remove it.

It was for CM previews. They must've forgotten to remove it.

That makes sense!

Oops, missed that part!

In fairness you claim that every time they find you wandering around.....
