So here's a video about Tron by Disney vlogger Kevin Heimbach. Heimbach is a former Disney park cast member. Very honest guy, and a funny guy, and he's still in touch with current Disney cast members. Now, FWIW, I like the idea of a Tron attraction - it's based on an original Disney creation, after all - and I saw a video of the original Tron ride, and thought it looked cool (and said so on these forums).
But, according to this video...yikes.

The only thing I'm sorry about...is that I gave this guy a "click".
Yes, he's funny, and his video/editing skills are excellent...but how can you be so negative about this ride? He criticizes things that are so petty it makes me discount his other complaints (so he doesn't like "riding a bike"--that doesn't mean it's faulty)!
He really liked it and he was also BRUTALLY HONEST!!!
And more BRUTAL HONESTY!! (He like it.)

Is this supposed to be sarcasm?
How did they like the Tron dessert that looks like poop?

Thanks for the link. I agree with everything he said about the food, nastiness of components of Tron and the extremely shoddy construction finishing work. And that monorail sign literally TAPED together?!

You know what's funny?
I think the point here is...some vloggers like Tron a lot, and some don't....everyone should really just try it out for themselves if they happen to have a trip planned.....

Had a chance to ride during CM previews. It was fun. And that’s about it. Would never wait more than a half hour for it and certainly won’t set an alarm to get a boarding group.

Kevin Heimbach is certainly right to point out the bad show - both in terms of construction finishing / lack of theming, and in terms of maintenance. They're way below the standard that Disney created for itself.
As for the attraction, my reaction was that it's not much more than a roller coaster you'd find outside of Disney, with just a bit more pizzaz and of course a beautiful canopy at night. It simply doesn't contain the level of detail and design creativity that we've seen in other recent additions (and that we're used to historically). Basically, it has the same shortcomings as Rock n' Roller Coaster.
For those who haven't read it, I think the the Los Angeles Times review is really on point about the positives and the shortcomings: https://www.latimes.com/entertainme...isney-worlds-new-tron-ride-the-key-take-aways

So these reviews, from vloggers who tend to be inclined towards positivity...
The first concludes that if you expect it to be even shorter then it is, Tron's actual length isn't as disappointing, while the second literally says the ride is so uncomfortable that it's a good thing it's so short.
Glowing.

Are they? The first one does nothing but wax poetic about an EPCOT he's not old enough to have ever experienced to the point that I just mute his update videos if I'm looking for footage of project progress. Not familiar with the other.
Though to be fair I mute basically everyone.

My main complaint with vloggers is they seem to think they are more interesting than their subject. Turn the camera around, only describe what you are showing and leave the "entertainment" and editorializing to someone who actually knows what they are doing. My eyeballs are too valuable to watch these people let alone listen to them.
Does my experience and opinion about the Guardians Coaster suddenly become more meaningful and important because I make a video of it?

Depends......
I got on Sunday about an hour late without issue. We were group 22, they were boarding group 29.

What kind of video are we talking about?
It would be a BRUTALLY HONEST video.
But mostly me posing in front of the attraction for about an hour.
