News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[Atlantix2000]

I like how subtle it is, it took me a minute to find it.

Are you referring to the circle in the lower left of each panel? That's not the same as the Enterprise logo but not sure what else they could be referring to.

look in the top third of the third panel and the top quarter of the rear panel

Geez, even when you tell me where to look, it took awhile!

Again, I like how it’s done, but am I alone in thinking of the Internet Explorer logo when seeing this? Maybe I’m just dumb, okay I’m probably just dumb, but even knowing exactly what I’m looking at, I still can’t shake Internet Explorer from my mind.

You're not dumb, we're just old (enough to remember what that logo looks like)

That one tie by the curve in the sidewalk is a bit cattywampus.

THIS is the best update in a LONG time! only thing left is to wait for announcement of the actual RR opening date.

Still utterly hideous.

Looks better than the tron ride building…or the guardians building…. IOA is one of the most beautiful parks. It’s incorporated well… god only knows why people consider exposed coaster track some kind of eye sore. Sure it can be but it can also be done with taste.

Anybody else find Universal's social media tack to be a total turnoff?

Like, I get what they're doing, and Disney certainly deserves to be called out on a lot of their stuff, but I feel like it's just such a bad look for them. It reeks of desperation. If your parks are so great why are you always talking about the guys down the street?

You can be successful and still be number 2 it’s a marketing strategy that’s as old as time. Being number 2 doesn’t been you suck it just means your not the top dog.

I mean universal went from churro stand to roller coaster without any presser or fancy stage shows to talk about how excited they were. They didn’t leave any fans upset due to delays or artificial time frames.

The carnival coaster at the State Fair went up in about four hours. I guess that makes it even better?

Apples and oranges….velocicoaster is probably the best rollercoaster in the southeast right now. That barrel roll….it’s like time stops.

 

[matt9112]

Is great. Better than Velocicoaster. (yes I have ridden both)

Better is subjective it is better as a total experience maybe…. I seem to enjoy the intensity of velocicoaster more BUT haggrids is a blast and a more well rounded experience.

I don’t really understand how it can be considered well-incorporated when it’s not incorporated at all. To me, it has about the same level of visual appeal as an exposed show building or the Harmonious barges. They all just look like exposed infrastructure completely out of proportion with and stylistically dissimilar to their surroundings.

Seems like you kinda missed my point

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. I’ve been on over 300 coasters, Veliciocoaster is in my top ten steel coasters, despite my heavy preference towards hyper/giga airtime machines (for which it is not.)

I just had my first trip to Cedar Point and I was shocked how many conversations I heard of the general public comparing everything to Velocicoaster.

It’s really the child of Maverick, bigger, faster smoother and finally does the ground level roll that Maverick was supposed to have but had to be removed as it would have been too much for the trains.

For the trains and for the riders, those original hard restraints were killer on that ride! lol
