But I'd really like some new merch with this ride
I would guess that Tron's price tag includes all the other work required with relocating the canal, expanding the pond, building the retaining wall in front of the park for the berm/railroad tracks, rebuilding the railroad tracks, etc, etc, etc. There is a lot of prep work going into making this happen. Of course it will still run over budget and they'll have to cut a bunch of the bells and whistles anyway (like the upgrade to the raceway they had planned originally).
I wouldn’t get your hopes up.There are no bells and whistles to Tron. I was really hoping this would be a fully Plussed E ticket Tron, not just Shanghai's coaster in a neon box again. Still hoping...
My only thought is that this is technically the first real expansion on either land that doesn't star Harry Potter and therefore should have its own merchI'd like to see some merch that actually has the name of the attraction on it. I think Rowling must not want any attraction-specific product (to preserve "immersion," perhaps), because I've looked for "Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey" and "Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts" pins on all of my recent trips, and I've never encountered any.
Looks like it was filmed from the gas station nextdoorIs that video filmed from backstage? I can’t figure out the orientation of the curve shot.
I love the trains themselves, but the bottom of the train looks bad. Maybe it's just the testing equipment though, we'll have to see.
I'm confused about your complaint. Are you referring to the wheels connecting the train to the track?
No, the bottom of the train just looks ugly to me.
