News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

Or did Disney ask Enterprise to sponsor GotG, they said yes but Chevrolet said it was a weird conflict of interest…

How would that be a conflict of interest?

GM makes cars. Enterprise rents and sells cars, some of them GM.

Car + Car = Conflict of Interest.

I see it, but I don't agree it's a conflict of interest. Especially with Disney's existing relationships with both National/Alamo (owned by Enterprise) and GM (owner of Chevrolet)

A conflict of interest would be more like Disney taking GM's money for test track, then replacing all of the corporate fleet with Ford products, or allowing Chrysler to sponsor Test Track.

Distilled: GM didn't want another major car-related company in World Showcase.

Ehh.. more travel services, and I doubt GM had anything to do with it, but sure.

Could it be that Tomorrowland is shortly to be renamed "Enterpriseland"?

Well, that would explain this new concept art for the next new ride that recently leaked (it does say 2012... but we all know it takes Disney a long, LONG time to build things)...

Totally unrealistic. That ramp is not ADA compliant.

You can have a steeper ramp when a Federation approved transporter is also provided.

The entrance sign in front of the walkway to TRON was installed overnight.

I have been trying to not obsess about this project... but GOD I hate that logo

Tron had a perfectly good logo - no need to 'freshen it up'...

Looks about the same, minus the O. Unless you are referring to the OG logo.

Note the true legacy logo has no skew and the mentioned O change. The skew flattens the top of the R and makes the logo less square.. which is what makes the connecting letter elements invoke the other logos more.

Wondering when they will announce the Ap and dvc previews.

 

[DCBaker]

Have yet to see any posts about this so I thought I'd share some pics from last night. They were testing a new lighting package on the side of Tomorrowland Light and Power Co! The colors were changing somewhat infrequently, but they also tested a darker blue and a neon green in place of the orange half.

Any clues at all as to white the refurbed interior of the gift shop might be?

2 or 3 Tron themed items, 1 or 2 space mountain themed items the rest generic Disney Parks stuff.

Only the first hour until those 3 to 5 items move to EBay.

 

[celluloid]

If the Character Warehouses three years ago are any indication. I would not worry about Tron Merch selling out in any shape or form. They had so much from Shanghai carry over.

Nah, I'm sure there will be lots of XS and 3XXXL stuff leftover

They initially regulated entry into the Cosmic Rewind shop.

Guardians of the Galaxy merchandise has a much greater demand than Tron merchandise.
