Since there are elements of Tomorrowland in that artwork, do you think those spires will be brought back in some way or just a nod to what was there before?

a nod, they wont spend the money necessary to rebuild them. Like the people mover in disney land, I think they realize the removal of the spires was a mistake, but at this point they will never return.

Surprised (not really) they didn't utilize this project to work on Space Mountain's entrance to be a bit larger/nicer looking and get rid of the old fastpass machine area.
Was just going to post the same. I shocked they didn't get rid of the pointless fast pass awning blocking their new store.

The top of the arc being a different color is also visually weird to me.

In shanghai they have a much larger post show or pre show experience in a seperate building beside tron. Here in MK we got a smaller post show walkthrough and in our seperated building we got bathrooms. Maybe they will add another building in the position of shanghais in the future with perhaps a tron bar or something?

I had a thought where they could have Team Green members walking around the area for photo ops. Literally parks-specific TRON characters. Light-up costumes, whole nine yards.

Would never happen, but would be rad as heck.

it might. theyve been steadily adding to avengers campus, toy story land, and galaxies edge since theyve opened. maybe this tron area will be added to as well?

Did the preview yesterday. The seat comfort didn't bother me because the ride is so short you don't really have time to get uncomfortable. The seating position combined with the launch made for a very fun opening of the ride. Like all launch coasters once you get past the launch and the first few maneuvers they are just kind of OK. There aren't any great effects or anything inside the building that changed my mind on that. The pre-show and approach to the loading platform were cooler than the 2nd half of the ride.

It was definitely fun. I'm not sure it will be worth the waits that it will probably have.

Details on the TRON Lightcycle / Run Virtual Queue have been released. There will be a third Virtual Queue during Extended Evening Theme Park Hours for select guests.

Guests must have valid admission and a theme park reservation to join the virtual queue. There will be 2 daily opportunities to request to join the virtual queue for TRON Lightcycle / Run:
  • 7:00 AM (Guests do not need to be in the park when they join, but must have a theme park reservation for Magic Kingdom park)
  • 1:00 PM (Guests must be in Magic Kingdom park to join the virtual queue)
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours

An additional opportunity to request to join the virtual queue will be available at 6:00 PM on select dates during extended evening theme park hours––a benefit for registered Guests staying at a Disney Deluxe Resort, Disney Deluxe Villa Resort or other select hotels. Guests with this benefit do not need to be in Magic Kingdom park to request to join at that time.

These Guests will need valid admission and a theme park reservation for the same park on the same day to experience extended evening hours—or they may experience extended evening hours if they have a ticket or Annual Pass with the Park Hopper option and first enter the park for which they made their reservation.

To date, for each new ride using the VQ, the prior ride using it stopped using it. Does this mean Guardians will stop using the VQ or will it continue?
