TRON Lightcycle Run

[Nick]

Phew... with the Runaway Railway rumor, you had me worried there for a second.

I mean, I’ve heard no update on its timeline recently, so I’m assuming it’s still on line. Track is supposed to be beginning installation soon. Unlike GotG, the track will be installed before the building.

Tron has been said to be Summer 2021. Don’t plan your trip around it.

Oh.. Well Thanks for the tip! Because I Was almost doing that

Honestly I would expect them to open June 17, 2021.

We're going vertical. I actually wanted to quote Twister with "We're going green" but figured that was a stretch.

Is there any chance this ride opens next year? It seems to be quite far along.

Nope. 2021 maybe 2022.

They couldn’t even if it was possible. Shanghai has a 5-year exclusivity contract on it.

 

[Coasted]

Lots of track. Steep up or down in v middle;

Can't believe this is still two years away. I mean, I fully understand why because of the exclusivity deal but looking at that picture there's absolutely no way it should be two years before anyone rides it.

Track goes down quick. This thing still needs a show building around it and the giant awning that will go over the outside portion of the track and the entrance to the ride.

It probably shouldn’t need 2 years of work, but there’s still a significant amount to be done here.

Why is this build like Rock'n Rollercoaster, first the spaghetti-coaster than the box, and Guardians at Epcot they build first the box, than the spaghetti-coaster?
I think building the spaghetti-coaster first would be the easiest option.

So . Is this the exact same layout as the coaster in Asia? Or are there differences?
