News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[gerarar]

Just curious what the odds will look like for those trying to get a spot in the virtual queue during the soft opening? Assuming everything goes well with no downtimes.

Considering MK is usually open later (than like Epcot) til around 11pm, more BGs will be able to be called in a single day, thus more VQ availablity. So the cutoff time and last call should be around 10pm.

Obviously this won't really matter much for the first few days/weeks.

We will be at MK 2 days during the soft opening dates and will try to get on. If we score a ride it’ll be a bonus on the trip, if not no worries.

This may have been discussed already but if you are unsuccessful at getting a VQ for Tron at both 7 and 1, is it doable to still have a shot at GOTG?

They may be closing for another round of CM previews.

Slightly odd setup today. TRON is still be operated like it was in the previews. Rolling bushes near Launch Depot, with CMs using iPads to check LL or VQ.

I think this will be the case for a while? The touchpoints for the standby/lighting lane queue are all the way at the back of the area so they probably want to prevent crowding by limiting folks at the front.

Would it be normal to allow time for the teams to discuss issues and provide feedback?

The 1pm queue just filled almost instantly.

The 7am drop was full in 3 seconds.

Congratulations to all five VQ winners today!

I’ll be glad when Tron gets to the point where you can ride more than once in a day if you desire. Sadly I know that won’t be for a long time lol. Maybe the seasonal events this year if we’re lucky, though those events might sell out quicker this year mainly because of Tron.

You can ride it twice. One VQ and one $LL.

Ninety bucks for an off-the-shelf plastic toy?

No, $90 for a customized off-the-shelf plastic toy.

Appears the entrance next to the Tomorrowland Launch Depot may open after 6pm so anyone can go through to the Storybook Circus walkway.

WDW leadership listening to issues and feedback from frontline attractions Cast Members actually working the attraction?

The New York Subway ride is now open at the Magic Kingdom. The continued lack of theming at WDW is getting to a fever pitch.
