News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[G00fyDad]

I’m jealous of all you people and your fancy stone tablets and counting machines….all I’ve got are fingers and toes to help me count

 

[MisterPenguin]

I pity all of you who rely on devices for computation. Just run the code in your head.

 

[TikibirdLand]

You had an abacus to help with your homework?

Oh, look, it's attempting to calculate how long it will take to open GotG AND Tron. We should have known all along!

Now if we can just get an opening year (I would be asking for an opening date but ya know that's asking WAY too much)

Is this version of the canopy gonna be white instead of blue? Even the metal side panels of the roof are grey instead of blue.

 

[Bocabear]

The one in Shanghai is white....That is the blue lights that add the color...And from a distance, the smog of Shanghai also adds a mist effect.

Any guess on how long it will take for the Florida mold/mildew streaks to set in? ala Space Mountain.

I saw on the Guardians thread that the pictures "The Zach" showed of the Novacor spaceship already had the mildew applied.....

Now their is a smart Imaginer.

Next week is my guess.

I think the blue hue during the day is the reflection of the sky on that white surface. Maybe?

Here is another picture where it looks white.

im curious to see how the MK pathways will work, i get the pathway coming from the right side of the picture is basically the same, but the longer overpass in shanghai will be an underpass to an escalator I think?

No escalator anymore sadly. Just a ramp.

 

[J4546]

but isnt there a lower pathway that goes underneath leading to somewhere? maybe im just confused

The path configuration is completely different in WDW. There's only one ramp up to the attraction, and once it exits the canopy, it splits off to head toward Storybook Circus in one direction and Tomorrowland Light & Power in the other. The only thing that passes under the flyover is the train.

 

[J4546]

in this concept art, where does the pathway on the left that goes under the other pathway go?

It's the path to Storybook Circus. I assume it must run parallel to the train since that's the only way out, if this still accurately represents the final configuration.

oh ok so the path will go underneath the entrance ramp to tron, alongside the train tunnel, and back underneath to SB
