News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[_caleb]

I’ll list some! MMRR is really great. AK is a wonderful park - even Dinoland, which gets too much hate. RotR is fun, and the Star Tours redo is an improvement on the original and the most re-rideable attraction in Orlando. Old classics like ToT and SE retain all their splendor. Even Rat was a pleasant addition to the resort. Many of Disney’s hotels, such as the Lodges and Port Orleans, remain beautiful and immersively themed.

When you don’t consider the resorts trajectory, prices, or the overall experience, there’s a huge amount to love about modern WDW. Which is exactly why folks like me are so grumpy about it.

(Tron’s still a very lackluster addition in a horrible location, though).

I agree that TRON's location seems very strange. If they had to build it, I do wish they'd been able to better integrate it into Tomorrowland.

Great video walking through area a bit more.

Awesome!
It's a thing of beauty I tell 'ya!
Can't wait to see those pathways (and the rest of it) lit up at night.

There is going to be a lot of angry guests asking for refunds my guess. I know many would have hated it but they should have put a test seat at entry. It would have avoided having so many angry guests. The walk of shame will not be a good look for Disney.

There is a test seat.

Looks amazing imo

Definitely looks cool at night.

I do see it! I routinely criticize WDW (see my posts about fiberglass character statues, Disney's nickel and diming, or any of my ongoing rants about acoustic tile drop ceilings)! But there's a thoughtful way to do this and there's constantly complaining about everything.

I double-dog-dare you to start a new thread listing all the things you like (present tense) about WDW! Or to post in this thread something you like about TRON (without a qualification, downside, or additional complaint). Come on, you can do it!

I like that TRON adds a new attraction to the MK





….just wish it didn’t take 5 years and splash shutting down at the same time. Dangit I couldn’t do it

See I’m rubbing off on you already

Truth is beauty. What you said is honest. MK has still not had a Net gain attraction since pre New Fantasyland, unless we must count a double Dumbo

Their reaction in the queue to the reveal... loved it.

That to me is sad. At one time the ride being enjoyable and amazing trumped queue theming and canopy lighting. Big Thunder Mountain is still the best coaster in the park.

It's more inclusive, better themed and is more impressive. This is too short and not well themed.

I dunno…I see a lot of similarities with Space Mtn.

I do have to smile at those moments. Very much like the Cosmic Rewind reveal. At first, when it's new, everyone is "wow." Then when the newness wears off the effect becomes "yeah., it's a fast moving wall."

I don't find that good either. Very rough and little theming on the ride.

If I'm riding a Disney coaster I want it well themed. Otherwise make it long or intense.

It's the biggest tent structure Tomorrowland has ever had.

And under Iger, that is saying something!

Anyone find a good recording of the TRON area background music from within the area? The examples I'm finding are not good.

The previews today have not had the best audio since there was a temporary DJ set up as this was marketed as a "preview party," but to my untrained ear the actual area loop (which can be heard much better near the test seats and queue entrance) seems to be tracks directly lifted from the Tron Legacy soundtrack.

Thanks for the explanation and confirmation! Looking forward to hearing it.

Not that there are any surprises, but here's the first full ridethrough I've found of MK's Version:

I blinked.. what happened??
I kid.. looks fun.

Disney has released a nighttime POV video -

 

[tparris]

I’ve been told the canopy will not be going into show mode or even animating at all tonight. This also includes the main attraction sign.

 

[tparris]

I’ll also say this: Space Mountain is not pulsing different colors tonight, and the Tron canopy isn’t either. All I’ll say is just keep that in mind…
