As a West Coaster, I'm pretty jealous you guys are getting it. I really hope they'll consider this for DL if/when they finally decide to fix TL. But for now, congrats for finally getting an awesome coaster. Too bad you have to wait a long time for it.
WDW is not lookin too shabby for its collection of coasters. Space Mt, RnR, Everest, GotG, Tron, Seven Dwarfs...I hate that you all have great coasters at your Disney.
You can't beat the original..
I wonder if they'll cycle back to the Wreck-it Ralph concept or not. Last I heard it was dead.
They've already sort of started with the purple rocks, the EPCOT Center style CoP sign, the new Joffrey's Coffey location (the colors used and the architecture really fits the direction of the land).
It baffles me why they won't do it again. Disney likes quick and dirty overlays but Disney fans would complain about it. This would actually be the one cheap overlay everybody wants! They could barely change anything with a few updated effects and everybody would praise it.
Ehh, that's a big pad back there, I doubt it'll look that weird. I'd actually expect that there will be room for a small berm between Tron and World Dr. whereas a berm doesn't exist between Space Mtn. and World drive at all.Check out the concept art, looks like there are stairs leading into the entrance, so they will basically have you go over the train to get into the ride it seems, making it easier to build it.
I wonder how the ride will look like backed up against World Dr. there.
And I think the Speedway will only become more popular if it gets the rumored Tron overlay (and updated cars), as well. They could very easily build a canopy roof over many segments of the speedway just like they did for Lightcyle Run in Shanghai and at night it will light up blue, etc. Really give a nice aesthetic to the land.
They would probably come up with some lame backstory that you are a user in training. Only "experienced" users are ready for the high speeds of the grid in Lightcycle Power Run.
