Gonna say this too: it's just a bunch of helixes. It's pretty for sure.
Brake run-helix-brake run-helix... Rinse and repeat.

It'll be a fine coaster and it's an actual ADDITION to MK, which is nice. It will be a fine addition.Some people like helixes!
Agreed. I do think Big Grizzly Mountain is a great coaster from them, though, and hopefully Guardians is worthy of that gigantic building.Disney does some great stuff, but Hagrid alone is something that shows that Disney hasn't been thinking far enough outside the proverbial box when it comes to themed coasters. Disney needs to do more stuff like Everest and less of these box coasters.

Agreed. This isn’t meant to compete on a thrill level with the JP Coaster, but it will fill a need at MK. Much of MK feels quite old and stale, so this will help with that.I certainly don't disagree with this.
I just think some people have their knives out for TRON simply because it's not going to be the JP coaster (which, theoretically, it's going head-to-head against next year). It's not intended to be, as each are going to serve a different type of guest.
I think this also describes Disney and Universal overall. Universal has really carved out a targeted audience of families with teens and young adults.as each are going to serve a different type of guest.
What type of guest does Tron serve?I certainly don't disagree with this.

The Disney guest that likes "more intense" coasters, but doesn't like coasters that are "too thrilling". TRON will be the fastest ride at MK at 60mph, which is about as fast as Disney likes to go, which is good for their average family audience. It also does not go upside down, making it a "safe, but daring option" in comparison to the neighboring Space Mountain.What type of guest does Tron serve?

However, Hagrid and the new JP coaster are showing us that you can have a thrilling coaster that is well themed and they are both far from just a short 60 second coaster-in-a-box. Also, most of Disney's Coasters-in-a-box aren't even all that well themed. Tron, Space, RNRC and from the sounds of it GotG are all lightly themed.

Everest's box is just prettier, and its never ending helix portion is outside instead of inside. When it comes to Disney coasters after the 90s, they're all just too similar.Id argue Everest is a in the box coaster with some outdoor parts.

Really hoping Guardians can shake up the mold
They're either inside a box or train themed to hide the footers with the exception of California Screamin' which was themed to a rollercoaster (?) but they half heartly changed it to something else.
Don't forget Slinky and Barnstormer!
It is, but at least the box doesn't look like and the ride has a reasonably respectable ride time.Id argue Everest is a in the box coaster with some outdoor parts.
Has RMC done anything on the family-friendly side? I know Primeval Whirl had the higher height requirement, but I’d bet Disney would want something more accessible now that Everest is in the park.It is, but at least the box doesn't look like and the ride has a reasonably respectable ride time.
I really wish Disney would use the opportunity that Dino-Rama is presenting and take this time to pull out the old Excavator plans. Bring in RMC and build a hybrid wooden coaster on that plot of land.
I don’t think

I just can’t imagine them adding another ‘big’ coaster right on the heels of Tron and Guardians.
