News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[EricsBiscuit]

Maybe it's time SM gets a new track layout. That can use the rockets at DL and double capacity

That won’t happen. We’ll be very lucky to get a replacement track. Which so far as I know isn’t currently planned.

DL only went side by side to make up for the single track.

Best case for now is smooth some of the worse turns, flatten out the first brake hill crest and fix all the remaining broken effects.

And quieten the lifts.

And remove the pre drop trims.

And that’s more of a wish list.

Interesting, and sad, that they don't have any current plans to rehab Space Mountain

And how’s that postponed CoP update coming along?

Ticking over. Still.

Should we expect something great out of it (if it does indeed come to pass)?

I’d hope. Scenes 1-3 should mainly be a technical overhaul. Scene 4 should be a good refresh (I’m not expecting a new set or anything as big) with hopefully a new script.

Figures should all receive some improvement too.

Any chance it gets done this year?

It should have been last year so it’s anyone's guess at the moment.

I love CoP and we are going back next January so selfishly im hoping it gets done by then haha, Thanks for the info

I am just glad it is still on the board and not being destroyed.... Magic Kingdom needs attractions like this and the world needs to remember how far things have come to appreciate what we have today.... This attraction tells a story that kids today need and need to appreciate. Man I am a grouchy 40 year old today.

No idea what "ticking over" means since I don't speak British. Had to look it up. Is this right?

to keep going or continue to function without any significant progress or achievement

This sounds good. Let's hope it happens. But since it keeps getting pushed off ... lol

this looks like a huge space for something like tron, I know most of it is staging space and access, but any chance of a more themed area around it or something else?

They're putting TRON right in the middle of that area. No room for anything else especially when you give a wide berth for the canal and for a backstage building access road and lot....

I keep checking this thread hoping this one has been cancelled. I just don't understand the thinking here....

It’s really not that hard to understand why they are doing it.

Why? Not a TRON fan?

Sorry I'll have to provide a balance to offset your comment, I can't wait for this thing to open. I am a Tron fan. I liken it to the die hard Star wars fans getting a whole land, I just want this ride haha

I'll provide a middle ground between both

I love Tron and I'm super excited to see this attraction coming to WDW.
But I just wish it was coming to a different park (DHS)
