Tron Coaster

[JustAFan]

...
I'm glad MK is finally getting a new e-ticket after 20+ years, but WDW's flagship park deserves to receive something else more impressive and groundbreaking ASAP.

7 Dwarfs Mine Train opened 5 years ago. It's a big attraction.

7 Dwarfs Mine Train opened 5 years ago. It's a big attraction.

..but it's not an e-ticket (though it almost was and should have been).

Again, Tron will clearly be a net positive, but it's far from a masterpiece, and WDW's "flagship park" deserves another of those after 20+ years...

Will Tron be susceptible to weather closures?

The track in its current form is pretty short. I'm sure they will expand on it, but it just seems small right now.

Yes, Tron is faster. It goes up to 59-60 mph. While Hagrid’s is about 49-50 mph. Tron actually has the highest speed of any Disney coaster.

Are the speeds on straights or drops or turns? Thanks in advance.

Not ridden it myself but judging by several videos on youtube it looks a fairly constant speed. Doesn't appear to be any one 'big drop' but rather a swift, consistent ride with some turns and ups and downs.

No, more just fast turns and speedy launches and twists. Not really ‘big drops’.

Is this a complete repro of the Shanghai ride? I need to know its ride length, so I can edit a cut of "End of Line" to listen to while riding it.

The MK version will be a replica of the SDL version..

Looks cool, kind of reminds me of Space Mountain, but it also seems pretty short.

Looks cool, kind of reminds me of Space Mountain, but it also seems pretty short.

It's a 2:00 duration, the same as Slinky Dog. About 30 seconds shorter than Space Mountain and Mine Train, and a minute shorter than Big Thunder. It's longer than Goofy's Barnstormer and Primeval Whirl.

I was hoping that Disney World would get a longer version than Shanghai's, but I'm still excited to ride it.

ETA: For comparison, it's 1:15 minutes shorter than my favorite coaster (Lightning Rod at Dollywood), and 15 seconds shorter than my 2nd favorite coaster (Apollo's Chariot at Busch Gardens).

Should E Ticket attractions be less than 2 minutes long?

Space Mountain is just 2:30 and thirty seconds of that is on a lift.

Ha! It’s a pretty cool lift though.

Looks lame

I love the music from there captured in this clip:



If anyone knows of a better clip with the music, let me know!

Sounds like the needle's stuck !

I haven't been on the overseas parks ones but I've heard raves about it. But maybe this will make lines for the mine train shorter (that ride is too short for me to justify anything but a fast pass)

That is going to be a very impressive backdrop for Tomorrowland.

From September to mid November

Based on everything I've read and seen here, I'm going to pre-judge it as a solid "fine". Having ridden Hagrid's earlier in the summer, I was hoping for more additional effects. I expect that the general pop will lap it up, like SDMT or SDD .. but hey, its something new, and that is good. Now, if they'd just squeeze IJA into the extra POTC plot ...
