TRON Lightcycle Overlay coming to WDW Monorails

[Exprcoofto]

​

Nope, your eyes are not deceiving you…that’s a light cycle from the Tron universe on our “highway in the sky.” And today, we’re sharing a first look at the attention-grabbing art coming to the Walt Disney World Resort.

The transformed trains will be visible on the Epcot monorail line as early as this month. And if you look close, you’ll notice that the design of the futuristic motorcycle-like vehicles from the upcoming film Tron: Legacy also includes walls of trailing colored light.

​

Tron: Legacy is a 3D high-tech adventure set in a digital world that’s unlike anything ever captured on the big screen. The film is scheduled to hit theaters on December 17. But there will be more updates to come before then so keep checking the Disney Parks Blog for the latest.

So this is the first presence of TRON coming to the parks. I can't believe they are going to be out as early as this month.

I welcome new things especially something Tron but this seems like the wrong place and if that what it looks like :hurl:

Interesting. I wonder if they will also promote it big in DTD. (considering the AMC theatre will be showing it)

Wow! Now we know why they are cleaning them!

WTG TDO!!!! :sohappy:

I am guessing that those images are just photo chopped representations of what we can expect?

Not a big fan of dressing up the monorails for in-house advertising. They did it for the Nemo subs at DL - that was a bit fun but it still looked really strange. :shrug:

Maybe I missed it, but where in the article did they mention lights on the beams?

Here is the trailer.

I am sure everyone has seen it already though.

So TDO wants to wrap the monorails in a standard advertisement and this is cause for celebration???

I like it. And I'm guessing they got the movie division to pay for the cleaning of the beams. That is commendable.

I don't think the two had anything to do with each other. SO you are excited over a moving billboard that imo is ugly??? JT you are easily impressed.

 

[Master Yoda]

Yoda, you had to use that line before I did, right? :lol:

Still, love the TRON overlay. No complaints here.

You can still use it.

It is an acceptable closure to any post in a Tron Thread.

Not a fan... of Tron... or the overlay. *curls nose* :shrug:

I'm really afraid this will start a trend. Will they start doing this for every big Disney movie?

I normally don't mind in-park advertising, but the monorails are really iconic. It's like slapping a billboard on Cinderella Castle. (ok, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but still)

At least it won't be all the monorails. How many monorails are usually on the Epcot line?

I like your avatar too. WTG F632 :sohappy:

 

[BenS]

There are usually two on the EPCOT line. And I doubt it would be an ongoing trend.

I hope you're right. I love Tron, so if they could pick any film to advertise this way, I'm glad it's this one.

I have always enjoyed yours it makes me feel like JT04 is always watching :lookaroun

 

[Testtrack321]

Oh my GOD that's ugly!

Do not want, do not want!
