TRON Lightcycle Run

[belloq87]

Because of Space Mountain. That’s all that’s good. Everything else is incredibly mediocre

 

[Nick]

Yeah, I instinctively go to Tomorrowland on just about every visit (which isn’t as often anymore) simply to ride the people mover.

Simple pleasures.

 

[Legacy]

Peoplemover is the only must-ride in the park.

I like it but I would like Disney to add some scenes to the dark areas. Could be "windows" into other places that have futuristic looks.

I've heard the footer for the building is about to get poured and apparently it runs very close to the roadway. Hearing that made me wonder if this will be an exact clone of the Shanghai version or will it be modified to fit the site?

There's rumor that Disney is looking to do just that actually while they continue the aesthetic makeover of TL in preparation of Tron.

 

[GAcoaster]

Of course like the last TL makeover, it could run out of funding half way through and leave everything even more mis-matched.

MK Space Mountain is hot trash.

MK Space Mountain is hot trash.

It gets worse every time I ride it

I hope they knocked the inside down after TRON opens and start from scratch. It's desperately needed

That would be really great, a whole rebuild from bottom up.

What can I say? I like it. Not to say that there's not a ton of room for improvement though.

I want to love it. I just cant.

It's just so uncomfortable

 

[belloq87]

I actually really like how rickety Space Mountain feels, and I particularly like the single-file seating. Two riders per row, like Disneyland's, just doesn't seem like it would feel as thrilling.

I don't mind the seating. I mind the roughness and the boring coaster.

I think a lot of it is nostalgia for me. I didn't think it was that rough until I went to DL. Being in the dark certainly helps it otherwise it would be incredibly boring like you said.

A track return is a must with some kind of story and scenes would make a huge difference. I think it’s at the point where a complete redo is the only option.

I really think they need to do a total tear down of both sides and just come up with one layout much like Disneyland has with side-by-side seating so that capacity isn't lost. They could do what TRON has and have a two load stations (think Big Thunder Mountain), that way trains are always loading and trains are always departing onto the track.

I like Disneyland's version, but I don't know that I would want it to be a carbon copy. It's a fun coaster, the only thing I don't like is that it's mostly turns (a TRUE wild mouse) whereas WDW's has 2-3 drops, which is why I enjoy WDW's more despite DL's obviously being of higher quality.

If I remember correctly, the MK building is larger than the DL one which should allow for a little more creative freedom.

Whenever I walk by the Speedway I am transported to another world....specifically a go-cart/fun center in Anywhereville, USA.

I wish that they would get rid of this thing...it sucks.

Awe, c'mon, I always get nostalgic memories of using my old gas mower.

:agree: 100%

To get this back to TRON for a second, permits were filed the other day for "Building Completion" related to this project, with Whiting-Turner listed as the contractor. They've done many projects for Disney of late, including Pandora, Toy Story Land, Galaxy's Edge and are also on tap to do work related to the Star Wars Hotel. The permit can be seen at the link below:

Disclaimer

The permit expires in August 2019, but that's just for building the show building. Nothing related to the actual coaster or the canopy that covers the show building.
