Tron roller coaster @MK?

What did they last break?

Too many to list or remember. You should know, you've used them as a source many times.

You're lying to yourself about this. These people guess and you want to believe it. I'd suggest just waiting for dinner on Saturday and see what comes from the horses mouth.

I'll disagree and leave it at that.

Absolutely. Discussion on a discussion board is great. Working counter to that by closing discussions is often unproductive to end goal.

This is an optional, fill holes in time, completely unimportant to life conversation. This isn't going to make or break anyone's day. It is at the core completely unimportant, particularly since it's "anonymous", often pure guessing. If someone chooses to blow their time reading here - that is on them. SO there is no reason to constantly take all threads who happen to be on a similar subject (yes some should merge at infancy while they are still only a page long) and keep pushing them into one that then becomes a cluster.

Actually, on the same line as merging ... if a question is asked and answered immediately ... that thread probably should be locked. It's not - because threads evolve, expand and sometimes at the end we have gained some pretty good information, good convo or healthy bantering. Merge, that evolving completely goes away as topic allowance becomes more narrow and regulated.

The end goal/purpose for owners of a forum is clicks and advertising. If there are lots of threads I am drawn in to or have interest in, then I click them all trying to gather info or seeing what folks say and possible joining in. Clicks good. But it's always optional. I don't stop reading because there are multiple threads that may be similar. I actually might click on them all because I am interested. More clicks. If I see a mega thread, I pass it by, I'm not here to read encyclopedias. If folks can't find their posts & threads they more than likely will give up; if they open mega and realize it's an abyss, they move on. Clicks lost.

I like discussion, good and bad. I don't need to have my reading choices selected for me. But it's whatever.

Yeah...I just showed you what I DON'T like to support. I get enough extortion from the subject matter here to satisfy my needs.

Nope, I'm definitely not.

Plus I don't want to wait, I want to trust what is a reliable source. You're just being a skeptic like Dana Scully from "the X-files".

One would think the worlds most visited theme park would have any attraction it wants... then again its still the worlds most visited theme park without the latest and greatest and the increases continue to climb year after year without new E-ticket after E-ticket. A true conundrum to be sure.

Iger is the Back end of a horse...I'm quite certain.

...the maelstrom proved it.

See: the dangers of the espn model.

That's where this path leads. Easy money never lasts...says everyone in Recorded history.

John ringling was one of the wealthiest men in America at one point and built an art museum in his back yard that is better than most US cities...
...and died with $600 in his account.

The "every 5 year anniversary have an 18 month celebration" thing they were doing for a while has seemed to go by the wayside. However, with 2021 being the 50th I would expect them to have a major celebration in store. Having a new e-ticket at MK would seem to fit with that.

Oops! You're right! I forgot and didn't consider that.

If you want to win the World Series...don't build your team with hitters whose averages are on the Mendoza line

In an effort to completely waste time at work, and armchair Imagineer...I was wondering.
It looks like Tron could fit in the area directly behind the tommorrowland speedway and SM. Then, could the speedway also simultaneously be demo'd and upgraded into Radiator Springs Racers? Is there enough room there to accomplish both?

No...radiator spring racers is a huge layout...I haven't mapped it out on satellite...but I feel from experience that it's a way bigger footprint...RSR is part show building and heavily computerized as well...don't think it could work. If it was going anywhere...it would have had to be mgm

They could definitely use the space more wisely, but I don't think RSR fits with Tomorrowland's overall theme. Unless cars are going to take over the world like in "Maximum Overdrive".

This idea would be great in a new Cars Land though.

I guess monsters are going to take over the world in the future and harvest our laughs for their own benefit?
Or we will drive pollution-spewing cars with a 1 MPH top speed in the future?
Or some stupid alien thing is going to burp in our face in the future as we're held down against our will?
Or the future will look exactly like the mid-90s?
Or we will be sucked into a toy's imagination and be equipped with laser guns that shoot little dots onto cardboard cutouts with 25 other little dots from other laser guns that look exactly the same as yours?

Short version: Not much in Tomorrowland right now fits the overall theme of the land.

Learn something new every day.
Never heard of them.
Looks like a hungover Test Track.

I miss the Rocket Rods!

screamscape had a (very disney) rumour today that the Tron coaster for wdw has already been the victim of budget cuts! Apparently even before it is officially given the go ahead, they're looking at ways to reduce cost on this.

As Disney a thing as that sounds, I don't put too much stock in screamscape

 

[OSUPhantom]

The fact it's budget is already being cut makes me believe this rumor more than before I heard that...

I’m new-I've followed for a while, but thought I'd post for once.

I know it's not going to happen, but I feel they could do a better job re-theming what they have. I’m all for retheming rather than removing (except tower of terror-don't touch it).

It would be great if they could put the tron ride back over behind space mountain. You know what would make for a great entrance? If they brought back the old space mountain arcade and turned it into Flynn’s Arcade to enter through.

The area where the speedway is never felt like tomorrowland or fantasy land to me. So why not push it closer to fantasyland and turn it into Vanellope von Schweetz’s Sugar Rush. You could keep the track as is and just add all around it. It would be even better if they used the inflated plastic panel clouds from Tron to cover Sugar Rush so it could be used in the rain.

Stitch? I wish Wall-e was around in the parks.

Welcome to posting!

I would love for the arcade to come back. It was a great place to rest for a while.

I like the idea of putting Tron behind Space Mountain. Keep stuff instead of replacing it.
