News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[_caleb]

I still don’t see the value of the arcade building. It seems useless as a shop. If it’s meant to be the entrance and exit for both TRON and Space Mountain, they probably won’t have much floor space for merchandise, right?

Use it for lockers.

I’m confident the lockers are elsewhere, closer to the actual ride.

 

[J4546]

I really hope lockers are closer but not a big deal. I'd rather they built a locker building in the spot they have the lounge in shanghai...which would place it between the bathrooms and tron building

I think SpaM and Tron will both exit into the building.

I think I prefere "S&M" to "SpaM"... as acronyms, that is...

You don't see the value to the company of having two attractions using a merchandise store area as an exit flow?

There is a lot of space in there for merchandise compared to many attraction exit stores. There is plenty of space for both to exit through and increase revenue. What sucks is it further homogenizes merch and atmosphere that has already been going on.

Locker access after will be interesting if they choose to share exits. I don't know how many people carry their wallets on rides. But those that don't have a wallet or magicband will automatically skip purchasing unless they want to backtrack. We've skipped purchases many times at other parks that have gift shop exits just because of that.

Guests will already visit the lockers before returning here…

Too many trees, bushes, and shade. Ruins the futuristic nature of the attraction.

Why -- don't trees and bushes grow in the future?

Not in the futures I have seen!

So it looks like they have created a narrow queue line up one site of the ramp.

Weird that the stanchions are up when its supposed to be a VQ attraction at opening and I assume through previews. Are they going to put the tap points at the front of P&L?

Posters believe P&L will contain a gift shop. I doubt Disney will have a tap point at the entrance to a gift shop.

To be announced does not equal to be opened

Disney expansion and construction is not on the pace it should be

I agree there should be something completely new yearly for one of the 4 parks (in florida) opening. Even if thats a small mary poppins c ride, or a major ride. There should be some new ride or major experience every year at least until they catch up to what years of doing nothing has caused. I keep looking at Stitch being closed, this should have had something announced by now. Wonders of life, has been closed 16 years. Imagination has been a shell for 25 years.

I did that to distinguish from Splash Mountain which would be SplM. But with it closing soon, we could just as well use SM for Space Mountain going forward.

They initially regulated entry into the Cosmic Rewind shop.

The stanchions have confused me since I saw them pop up. Why have a giant walkway and only use 10% of it for the line. However, I'm not saying "Disney is a bunch of morons". I'm actually saying it's not operational yet and I don't understand it yet. I know they have thought this through more than me playing the role of internet keyboard warrior.

Because of Bob being here?

The Bob M&G requires an ILL, so unlikely.

Thank you?

He’s a persnickety little fellow isn’t he?
