Here is a link to a friendlier webpage that sources it's information and doesn't steal (which also posted 50 mins before clickbait Corless):

August 16th, 2021 is permit completion date to coincide with October 1, 2021 50th Anniversary.

I thought they would have it done a year sooner. Well, we also have to remind ourselves there is no construction happening as of now.

So Adopt a Porg, Guardians interior, Tron Coaster, and now Tron Speedway...

And now, Cirque du Soleil concept art...

How the hell is he still employed.

Maybe the Imagineer is waiting to see how long it takes for Disney to fire him?

Or and this is a wild theory here he isn't an imagineer at all but some crazy guy with a LOT of time on his hands.

 

[EricsBiscuit]

Maybe he's on Uni's payroll haha

This would have been perfect in Epcot. IMO. Two coasters next to each other in Tomorrowland land is too much IMO.

How the hell is he still employed.

If he signed any kind of NDA, (and how in the would could he not in that line of work) he is playing with fire. We sign them all the time with the Big 3 (or 4) for concept vehicles and future products.

I witnessed what happened when another person from another companies crew posted a still from set of a prototype vette ... they took him for just about everything ... including what reputation he had ... and won. Product security is big (and serious) business.

At one point, there was going to be something Tron related at Epcot sometime in the 80's but got cancelled.

Video arcade. 1982/3.

Is this going to be some hardcore extreme coaster that only thrill seekers want to go on?

Or will it be a little more family friendly, engaging, animatroniccs, visuals, etc

Will it be more like the coaster at Diagon Alley or just a cheap fast coaster like Rock N Roll coaster?

Honestly, if they just go for a fast thrilled coaster indoors, it's just going for a cheap option.

There are lots of videos of the coaster online.

Disney has never built a hardcore extreme coaster and I am sure they are not going to start now. It is a clone of the Shanghai's ride...Lots of videos online...No animatronics, just lots of projections and lighting effects.

California Screamin' Incredicoaster is fairly extreme, as is RnRCoaster... admittedly not as extreme as Kingdom Ka, or Top Thrill Dragster, or Millennium Force, but for your average Disney park, pretty extreme...

Praying you've heard of YouTube before....

Looks decent.

Confusing this with the Guardians of The Galaxy coaster.

 

[marni1971]

Things have begun on the ground.

Just wrapping the fences, from what I can see

The most intense part of this is the seating position, other than that, it is RnRC w/o inversions, but with black light and screenz. That being said, somehow, this is not cheap.
