I'm happily surprised at all of the plantings and greenery around Tron, and they're not even done yet.Here you go

I didn't expect so much greenery.

I do wish that they would put in a water feature of some sort (not counting the restrooms either).

What do you think would fit best? Something like TL's kugel ball fountain, Epcot's jumping fountains, or ? I'd love something like MK's original Tomorrowland entrance (except designed not to accidentally spray everywhere). Obviously it would need to be TRON-ified.
Only partially?

Honestly, at the pace they are going, Sea World Orlando may have announced, constructed, tested, and opened two separate coasters in the time between when Tron was announced and when Tron opens...

I don't think he meant to imply that the sea world coasters were better than a Disney attraction, just that they were built faster.
Though there will definitely be us specific population that will say the SeaWorld coasters are better.
I agree with his observation that it will be interesting to see whether or not SeaWorld's newest coaster opens before Tron. Looking at its rapid construction I'm getting a sense that it will.

A basic fountain mixed with color changing lighting or a cascade that is also. Using the lighting, they could almost make it seem electrified. It's just that they have the nice trees placed and the sound of water would bring some additional life to the area.

Looking forward to riding this if it ever gets completed.

You don't need a sneak peak. You can already view the ride at Shanghai. The opening is breathtaking, but from then on i don't think it beats Hagrid's.
Word of warning - don't go watch their versions of Peter Pan or Pirates of Caibbean - you'll be fuming how next level they are compared to the dross servings at Florida.

You keep giving this guy oxygen, the queue is better in the Shanghai videos, are you shilling by posting this twice?

Isn’t it a different clip? I mean, these aren’t anything groundbreaking but I would think that any footage from inside the building would be appropriate and warranted to post in this thread.

For clarification, my comment was in response to the statement that the track work on the hub coaster at Epic Universe may be completed before Tron opens. I was simply point out that Sea World may have gone well beyond that with the announcement, construction and opening of two separate coasters before Tron opens. I was in no way implying that Tron will be better than either of the last two coasters Sea World has built/is building.
For a more "apples-to-apples" comparison, Transformers was built in (I believe) 9 months and while it's not exactly the same, it's evidence that if Disney wanted, Tron could probably have been built in 2.5 years (three times the amount of time it took to build Transformers... probably less?). Not complaining, just saying that Disney builds things on their own timelines (though I think everyone already knew that).
