News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[TQQQ]

(Sorry ... I actually agree with you. )

Who cares about the kids?

I’m sure they’d go electric and remove speed control.

Collisions are the only reason I ride the speedway…

I ride it for the carbon monoxide high.

In my opinion adding attractions to the Magic Kingdom is always the right decision.

People may argue that it will only make the park more crowded.

I say the new attraction will be there long after the hype is over and can absorb guests in the most visited park in the world.

Do we know what the capacity of this attraction is? I would bet someone does assuming it is identical to the capacity of its twin sister over in SHDL.

I would say it's actually a tad bit lower due to dispatch delays and the normal seats in the rear.

There’s actually one difference between the coaster building in Shanghai and Florida, and it’s this part:

That doesn’t stick out in Shanghai, but it does here, and that’s why it’s frequently in view:

I am curious why this difference exists. I’m sure it’s something pertaining to US law but they should’ve changed the shape of the canopy to work correctly.

So your saying it's not a clone!

 

[DonniePeverley]

I'm hoping we get the Shanghai version of Pirates and Pan.

Being able to replicate the canopy was probably a driving factor of why it was greenlit, you can build a box anywhere. I would guess fire codes for the building change meaning it required access where China does not.

 

[Rambozo]

A nice ride, but way too short for how much real estate it takes up.

 

[RunForestRun]

There's no way I'd get on this ride with my back. Perhaps if I was younger and not afraid to be hurt or even die.

That little extra corner poking out from the behind the canopy is such bad design

They could've at least made it follow the same curve of the canopy so it wouldn't draw so much attention

Disney has shared these photos as WDI puts the finishing touches on the TRON Lightcycle / Run post-show.

This looks much nicer and more modern than the actual ride queue (which I guess makes sense because it was designed about 12 years later).

 

[SplashJacket]

A nicely done corporate sponsor is always a win in my book

 

[J4546]

i agree, looks good in green and adds a little more to the experience

I don’t think there’s been enough discussion here about how bad the graphics are in the queue (and now apparently the post show).

I’ve brought it up here a few weeks ago but I don’t think anyone else here has. The worst offenders are the still art along the walls… way way too cluttered, with outlines around everything. Looks jarringly dated.

I strongly dislike that entire switch back area and I think a major part of it is those graphics. Very 2005 feeling. They really could have done so much more with that space.

Nope. Posters.

"Dated" is part of the theme of both Tron and Tomorrowland isn't it? Retro-future, yesterday's concept of the future. If so this theming would be on-point. Or do you mean the art is too modern looking for the theme?
