News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

Reboot of the land with separate elements.

Let me reiterate at this time TLF, Buzz, Space and Astro are not included.

That's a shame they aren't being changed. But with the "separate elements" part it seems an excuse for them to keep them. Someday ....

So a Buzz replacement is off the table? Or not included in the overall reboot but still replaced?

I’ve never heard of a Buzz replacement yet.

Now that I think about it, when was the last time the Astro Orbiter used to spin and not be motionless?

Is Carousel still getting a respectful update?

So that leaves Tron, the Speedway, SGE, COP, and the PeopleMover? That doesn't seem like much of an overhaul.....

Maybe it'll include more aesthetic changes?

One would hope...

Pft... we got blue rocks! BLUE ROCKS, MAN!!! What more could one want??

And a new Joffreys!!

 

[Magicart87]

Mind the gap(s) Along with a new spiel and presumably paint; will the PeopleMover actually get scene additions? IP centric? (Alamo still attached post update?)

 

[Kman101]

I have no idea how I confused the two but I was thinking of Stitch when I was asking about Buzz. Soooo ... never mind lol

But still a shame a replacement for Buzz isn't on the table. They could at least give it a nice refurb. I wouldn't miss it if it left though.

I would presume it would. If they are going to undertake a major tomorrowland refurbishment surely that would be on the agenda.

A Lilo and Stitch shooting ride could be really cool. And they'd save money on animatronics since they already have two Stitches ready to go!

It’s primarily a land overhaul, not attraction overhaul.

As far as I know it’s still planned.

 

[Unbanshee]

There’s several versions of the art. Permits don’t include speedway work. Yet.

I should say the D23 art shows it being shortened.

Here's the permit showing that it will need to be shortened (or modified, if you like) to accommodate for extra path

Don’t go off that piece of art. That’s a vague artist publicity piece. Nor those plans. The scope, detail and design of what may - or may not happen - hasn’t been put in the public domain yet.

Of course they may just stick a carousel in a field with race cars on it.

 

[JBIRDTO]

At least plastic cars would not smell!

nice hint, but old news...
below is the concept art martin's referring to -
before the decision was made to combine TS and CoP

Spoiler

it all makes sense now, doesn't it?

 

[HauntedPirate]

Some of us ancient fossils actually like the smell from the Speedway. And I truly don't understand all the hate for the Speedway in general. Remember - Not all rides are meant for adults. Some old dead guy built a park around that philosophy...

Space needs to have the complete refurb that was originally planned 10+ years ago but was scrapped. (Let that sink in for a bit...) Love for Space Mountain is not nostalgic, unless you consider a smooth ride to be nostalgia these days.

 

[TiggerDad]

Space and the Speedway are probably two of the top 3 rides (with BTMRR) in the MK for my DDs. They love being able to drive the cars. I agree they need a refurb but hope we can time a visit to not have them down.
