Walt Disney World has a new coaster inspired by the movie 'Tron.' It's sleek, it's pretty and it's fast, but how does it compare to other modern thrill attractions? We rode it and have thoughts.
The skyline of Walt Disney World’s Tomorrowland has long been marked by the circular dome and star-reaching spires of Space Mountain, a cylindrical building whose decorative lines are constantly pointing skyward. In Florida, Space Mountain is nestled close to the Contemporary Resort and is easily visible to those taking transportation and walking to the Magic Kingdom.
Though “Tron” may appear like a slightly unlikely franchise to bring to American audiences — here in the States “Tron” was a success, but it’s by no means one of the company’s most recognizable franchises — I see it more as an acknowledgment that today’s audiences were weaned on the interactivity of video games and increasingly expect content that reflects that.
But while it’s true that one’s body type could affect their ability to ride a Lightcycle, some coaster trains are outfitted with rather large-but-standard coaster cars in the back. While some may choose this option to avoid the heightened thrills of the Lightcycle, there’s a worthy debate to be had over theme park design and rider accessibility, and as audiences demand more thrills and unique ride experiences, such a conversation isn’t going to disappear.
