I agree but the second solution is to have skinny seats and jumbo seats and never shall the two cross. It would not take much to laser measure guests and sort them accordingly. I’d prefer to be sent to the fat seats than to be sent to the Mickey bar cart.Now they have a bike coaster it might be a bad idea to configure the seats to accommodate all larger guests. I forget if they strung nets over the walkways but even if they did a falling person might be too much for them and very bad show. Got to engineer for most not for all
PS I know they’ll never do this but they should.I agree but the second solution is to have skinny seats and jumbo seats and never shall the two cross.

It's not that simple to just create a restraint so all guest sizes can enjoy an attraction. It's not as simple as Disney or Universal just creating a new restraint but the manufacturer of the coaster has to agree to it.It’s real neat to see WDW giving up on one of the few areas in which they were clearly superior to Universal. Oh well, it’s not like Disney has a history of beloved coasters that can accommodate a wide variety of body types.
I’m also amused by the comments that assume innovation in the field of ride restraints is impossible, that Disney and Uni couldn’t develop more adaptable restraints if they felt it was profitable. Actually, we know Uni is trying to develop such restraints - whether they ever actually utilize them is another matter.
Do they have any type of netting or such when the track is close to the walkway?
You’re not alone as I have always felt that Legacy is underrated. Yeah, it’s not perfect but I always enjoy watching it. Plus, it has the perfect soundtrack!I’m just happy to see some more TRON representation, as someone who thinks TRON Legacy is very under appreciated. Definitely a fan of the franchise and seeing this is cool. Excited to try this out soon, if I can muster up enough courage to get on a lightcycle.
Yes, there is netting under the trackDo they have any type of netting or such when the track is close to the walkway?
Remember incidents with Velocicoaster before they put up netting.
Exactly true. Every single ride seat, on every attraction is based on a profile defined very early in the development of the attraction. The engineers and designers create a profile of what percentage of the population in an age group they want the attraction to accommodate safely. For example, on something like Tron, they may say they want the design to accommodate 95% (totally made up number, just for reference) of adults above 16 years old to ride. There is a lot of data available to define what that means to help in the design.It's not that simple to just create a restraint so all guest sizes can enjoy an attraction.

Without access to the Engineering and design specs of both versions, we do not know. They could easily have kept the same design and ride profile as Shanghai, hence the ’clone’ reference but made adjustments to the physical mechanics of the ride system to accommodate a different guest profile. That would not likely be obviously visible to most. The reality is we don’t have access to the information to know what adjustments were made for the US market, or if the Shanghai version is designed for US market and installed there.Posters say Tron is cut and paste.

Using your made up numbers.
I suspect the average weight of guests visiting the MK might be heavier then guests visiting Shanghai Disney.
I believe the mere existence of ADA/person of size seats at all is a modification.Posters say Tron is cut and paste. Was Tron designed to accommodate 95% of Chinese adults above age 16.

There has indeed been a few minor changes, but it largely a clone.Without access to the Engineering and design specs of both versions, we do not know.

Yeah, this will probably change. Ultimately the goal is to ensure there is enough demand for it to warrant it on ever train. So far that seems to be the case?The only thing that surprises me here is that they didn’t install the lap bar seats on every train.
If Disney had to become obsessed with an underperforming adventure film from several decades ago, why couldn’t it have been something fun like Rocketeer or Dick Tracy?
