News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[Jrb1979]

~whispers~ Hagrid’s Motorbike Adventure isn’t actually a bike coaster…

It doesn't have the pooh sized friendly issues that Tron has.

Don't get me wrong it looks like a fun coaster but like was posted earlier. For a coaster in 2023 it should be much better.

Ever since I was a boy, I’ve always dreamed of peeing in the Grid.

Urine is a good conductor of electricity.

Since they were mentioned:

Domestic Video Sales:

• TRON: $5 Million [plus another $70 Million wholesale merchandise sales]
• TRON Legacy: $61 Million
• Tomorrowland: $12 Million

Both TRONs made up for their theatrical deficit in the after markets.

This may give some a basis to work off of, thanks to this kind person for sharing.

I don't think this is an exact copy like many people here said, it has a much longer ending tunnel to the unload station doesn't it?

That would require a bigger, more rectangular building and changes to the angle of the launch. They didn’t do that.

I think the thinking is that Legacy is something they can make more of, whereas Tron is classic, but old. If they theme the ride after the original, it comes across as a vote of no-confidence in Legacy and doesn't set them up to expand the IP into things like D+ series, games, etc.

The already had a vote of no confidence when they aborted the sequel, cancelled the television show and stopped all of the other ancillary product work.

I am nearly the same size as that guy and I fit with no issues in Shanghai. Moving your feet and taking advantage of the moving leg pads will make you fit. If you're trying to look pretty for a selfie or a youtube video rather than trying to fit in, the silver metal bars won't lock in place.

Based on that picture, it sure doesn't look comfortable for women with larger chests.

That's true of most ride vehicles with restraints that aren't straight lapbars. Mine go through such abuse because I love roller coasters.

I thought they greenlit TRON:Ares with Jared Leto?

 

[No Name]

The second film is almost irrefutably visually better than the first one, and came out around when this coaster was being designed. It would’ve made absolutely no sense to base this ride off of the first movie.

A few women have commented on a FB group they had to sort of lift em up.

Which isn’t the sequel to Legacy that was being developed. It’s a separate story with new characters.

This is true, but close enough for the synergy factor. It will have a lot of the same aesthetic. Might as well call it "Tron: Reboot"

I thought that when I typed it. I was a target demo for that show, and I still could not get into it.

Does the “O” not spin like it does in Shanghai? I know it’s a much smaller sign by far, but they still could have done that

Choosing Jared Leto to star in a movie seems like a pretty big vote of no confidence!

Some contract deal somewhere. That is also now who is playing The Hatbox Ghost.

eww.

But alas, as of now it is still known to be happening.

This attraction wasn’t about synergy. It was something quick and easy to add capacity, not part of some grand master plan to once again make a big push for TRON.
