One thing I will always love about Kevin, is that he is a fan just like all of us, but unlike some Disney vloggers and reviewers, he doesn't just say everything is amazing I love Disney!!! No, Kevin is honest and gives really helpful pointers while maintaining his love and appreciation of Disney. I will say I have been looking forward to Tron, so this is good to know so if there are really long lines I know not to wait. I'll probably ride it once though to see how it is. (Edit: I said I would still try the ride, all I meant was that if it has like a 260 minute wait or something, I'd rather ride a ride i know is good that I enjoy. I've seen enough of Kevin's videos to know how he critiques things and I am capable of forming my own opinion. So if you're gonna reply only to tell me to try the ride or that Kevin is always looking for the worst of everything please dont. I am capable of enjoying the way he reviews things and I know not to let him do my thinking for me.)
One thing about Kevin is that he always looks on the down side, I'd bear that in mind before missing out on a new attraction.
Yeah last few videos I've watched have been a bit on the negative and melodramatic side. Kinda like he's looking for things to pick apart and complain about. This ride looks fun as hell and I'll try it no matter what 🤷. There seems to be favoritism towards Universal... And that's coming from someone that prefers Universal.
I mean Tron gonna be virtual queue and Lightning lane. So just like Guardians you aren’t gonna be waiting long. Tron isn’t a better coaster then guardians. But it’s a good addition to the park
I agree he can lean on the nit-picky side, but this particular review has some very good points.
Disney won't like it - but they should... vloggers just blowing smoke up there arses all the time and saying everything is wonderful is counter productive... Criticism - as long as it's justified - is necessary so they can improve... let's face it, Disney have set themselves up to be held to a higher standard than all other theme parks so they need to live up to that!
"and you get off.....and there was a guy vomitting...." LOL!!!!
I’m glad to see such an honest and respectful review. Great job as always Lil Churro 👏
Thank you 🤗
I really wish they would have outdone Shanghai and made it a Blue vs. Orange indoor dueling coaster. Also being 6’3 I’m very nervous myself about fitting.
You’ll be fine. I’m 6’2” myself and fit when I rode yesterday.
Bottoms line is they haven’t finished it but they had to open because Splash is closed and they need the queue capacity. Nobody is going to want to ride it during the day and virtual queues will mean a huge number of people will be disappointed.
They lost a huge opportunity to do a dueling coaster😭 but anyways that was years ago… this ride was disappointing sadly
Thank goodness you wrote this, cause I was having huge fomo for not being able to go ride this due to time constraints, and now I feel so much better 😂
This has been the most accurate review I've seen on UA-cam so far. Only thing I haven't heard anyone else say is how bad the sound is in the ride. It's unnecessarily loud. I got off the ride with my ears ringing.
“then there was a guy vomiting” really tops it off lol
I think the color choices can mess with some people
Every time we've gotten off of guardians someone has recently gotten sick... Everywhere. We love that ride but it seems many cannot handle it.
@@kristinmoore4624 it doesn't seem intense to me at all, I've ridden that one multiple times and never felt sick
Every roller coaster is always going to have at least one person sick getting off of it so this is not a good complaint since it's not uncommon.
You moved the mini fridge !!! Love seeing Earl again 😊
Even with all of the delays, I just love Tron so much that I'm still excited to ride this. I'm 6ft 1 and just slightly over 300lbs, so actually fitting on it is my biggest worry at this point. Seems like they could've done more with the theming, but I do like what I've seen so far from all of the videos.
How is this not a dueling coaster, and there’s a part where you cross another bike cart and one of you get “destroyed” just like in the movie
Universal will have dueling coaster at Epic Universe
@@KevinHeimbach love your vids ❤❤
Thank you for honestly reviewing this one. I had my doubts with this ride. Disney can make excuses that are a dime a dozen. yes, I understand it started way before the pandemic, but the point is they were working on this ride over five years when it comes down to the actual ride, makes me wonder who’s making these decisions. I appreciate the honest review. Most people say yeah it’s good ride and don’t add anything that’s negative to it because let’s face it there’s good points, and bad points to every ride..
The ride was made and produced under Bob Iger. Bob Chapek is only to blame for the slow construction
I came to say the same thing. When anyone asks for an honest take on something in a park I point them here. Others may not always like something, but they rarely ever have the balls to call out the Mouse the way Kevin does.
Thank you for your completely honest review, so refreshing
Thank you for your honest review Kevin. I agree I wish the outside part was a little bit longer. Great video as always.
Thank you for your honesty. I really appreciate it.
I love the Tron Ip but was skeptical about this ride.
Thanks for your honesty as always Kev. Our local theme park here in the UK has one of these Booster Bike coasters and I’m a fan of it so I’m looking forward to riding Tron later this year.
Thought it was going to feel fun like riding had grids at Universal
@@KevinHeimbach But it wasn’t?
Yes, I love Kevin’s honest review. Everything he said makes sense from a logistics standpoint, and from a visitors standpoint. I hope DISNEY watches this video to get some very helpful tips. I was also disappointing to find out how short it was. That being said the ride looks awesome.
Thanks for saving the hassle of stressing to get on this ride. It sounds like I won't be upset to miss it.
I went on it for mk cast previews. While it was nice and enjoyable I did take note of many of the same issues that you did. Like the placement of the test vehicles and the glass everywhere. I'll rank the ride around SDMT, where I would enjoy to get on it every once in a while, it's just not worth the wait.
It ended up being a 2 hour wait for our preview:( It's going to be very interesting when it opens to the public and running none stop open to close
Good Review, FYI. I think the exit is temporary and will be improved…. Still not officially open! Thanks for the effort put in on this ride!
thanks for your honesty!
Thank you for an honest review.
My pleasure!
We rode Tron with my sister’s cast member preview, and I have to say the area is really cool at night with all the lighting syncing to the music and having seen Tron years ago I was so excited to ride. However, I was pretty disappointed with how the Tron workers acted like they were above us and that the ride was so short for how long we waited. Definitely fun, but the indoor portion consists of a bunch of shapes. I was expecting maybe like the other team riding by the whole time or maybe like lightDiscs flying by. Idk, I was expecting Thunder mountain and got Barnstormer.
I rode it yesterday at the cast preview and going outside was the best part and when you went back inside it was anticlimactic in Shanghai I know the ride is exactly the same i just they changed a few things ( like ride vehicles, and added more scenes) (ps The ride vehicles were not uncomfortable to me because I’m skinny, but I saw some people having a difficult time fitting in them) they literally just copied and paste it from Shanghai to Disney World. But I had a great time I didn’t even have to wait more than 20 minutes it was awesome when it opens to the public in April will I be doing it every time I go to Magic Kingdom probably not
Thank you for your honesty review. I am currently 6’5 and still growing and when I was there in July 2022 there were some rides that were very uncomfortable due to the ride carts being to small. For example space mountain, my legs were jammed into the seat in front of me and the bar wasn’t able to come all the way down which was unsettling. Don’t know if I will be trying Tron anytime soon.
Absolutely love the brutally honest reviews. Most of the Disney media bloggers are too scared to tell the truth now out of fear of losing their Disney access rights😂
A massive angry mouse looms over you…
Kevin is just the best! “who are you” 😂
Thank you for this!!! Tron is the Abercrombie of rides. Intentionally exclusive - even with the “inclusive” ride car. Longer and better launch coasters abound, making this ride is 100% about the ride vehicle. The “inclusive” ride vehicle allows them to check off a box. Nothing more. Walt would be disappointed.
My one concern about this ride was that 5 years is a long time, things changed and technology improves. So when it came to style and technology my concern was will this ride already be dated or stuck in 2018 by the time it opens and I’m not too sure judging by what I’ve seen online if it has been able to meet that 2023 standard
It looks cool as hell. The ride itself is fun but nothing to write home about. I liked it!
I had no problem with the handrails but your right about the inside part
I love tron legacy, so I was hoping this would be good. It's cool that it has the amazing score!
I just started the video.
Guests at the Shanghai Park are a much smaller people.
Watching these parks videos in America has proven one thing. America has a huge obesity problem. Most of those park gusts can't safely fit on the Tron ride. Disney will soon have complaints that the Disney ride is discriminative of fluffy people. We'll see
Being 6,1 200 Pounds, It was even uncomfortable for me. The ride is not meant for most people
Just rode it on Friday for the 1st time. Agree with everything you said.
I'll wait a while to fly to Florida from LA to check it out. My fav coaster is still the Matterhorn. Unfortunately it's in really bad shape. Read "SF Gate, what Disneyland is doing to repair a crumbling Matterhorn". When the ride is "closed for refurbishment" the workers are trying to keep concrete from falling off the mountain.
Thanks Kevin for the honest review, and hitting some key points! You are the only person who has mentioned that it can be straight up embarrassing for some people to have to move back to the larger seats, not just a "so what, your still riding" kind of thing. When I saw how short the ride was, I was stunned. That's under a minute for sure, maybe 40 seconds? I think its awesome that its not nessicarily "thrilling", but as the mom of a kid with ASD and sensory sensitivity , there is no way my son (8) would ride it after being in dark, small, and loud queues with warnings playing every 30 seconds. And he loves roller coasters =( I know you can't check all the boxes, but I feel like Disney hardcore dropped the ball on this.
Thanks so much for the honest review. 🌹
It was crazy to see the other content creator not talk about this stuff....
@@KevinHeimbach I can't imagine what a nightmare this is going to be for various sized guests. I would not want any of my friends or family to be humiliated in front of everyone because they weren't aware of these issues. Thank you for putting out content of real value to your audience!
Thank you Sir
I remember there being concerns about the seat size of velocicoaster do you think these seats are even more size restricting?? I was nervous about velocicoaster but got on fine. Just trying to guage before wasting my time 😅
People with a larger chest size and leg size seemed to be having the most trouble fitting the ride.
Not sure how Disney could design the ride vehicle better for the huge guests swamping the park, besides doing what Universal did on Hagrids, which is basically to have a normal coaster seat that looks like a motorbike, completely ruining the immersion of being on a lightcycle. It was very thoughtful of them to design the back car the way they did but I'm glad they kept the experience in tact for the healthier guests.
They should keep the bottom bars but change the top ones to more padded ones
Excellent points and high/lowlights. For the lockers there is an area/screen in which one can scan your magic band/ticket/card to locate your # if you forget. Perhaps the folks @ Disney can use this video for training purposes to improve the ride.
No one told us about a place to scan for you locker number🤷🏻♂️ Gotta check it out next time I ride
This may be a dumb question but, for those who don't own magic bands, how do the lockers work? What is the alternate "un-locking/ storing/ re-opening" procedure?
A cast member will give you a temporary card to use and you return after you open your locker. 👍🏻
lets goooo! been excited for this since your IG post!
Hope you enjoyed it!
People touching the glass in the first place is so disrespectful. These are cast members and friends of the cast, I feel they should know better and think about their co-workers. We can't even have nice looking things as Americans just destroy, steal, and mess with stuff.
Also, there are touch points on the side you get your stuff out that tell you the locker number. So they did think through the locker system.
Brutal Kevin! But I appreciate and respect your honesty ... Sounds like they have 2 months to implement some quick changes
Those glass walls in the queue look like a Jackson Pollock painting.
Ive been thinking about the finger prints on the glass thing and i really dont like how disgusting that is because i dont do good with herms so i had to go pit on hand sanitizer so i completely agree with you kevin
The only difference between the glass and every other surface is that on the glass you can see it. Everything else is just as gross 🤷
I rode it twice and going again this weekend and it’s a fun ride with great music with Daft Punk but disappointing on how short it is. As a tron fan and someone who understands the story unlike everyone else waiting for the ride that day there is not much of a plot. It’s going to have a lot of problems with the seats. About 4 people had to get off dude to seat issues and not fitting into the cycle. There is going to be a lot of complaints.
I’ve always wondered what makes something a “roller coaster-type ride” as opposed to just a rollercoaster
Looks a bit uncomfortable, and I’m sure in Shanghai they are more polite and don’t put their handprints on the glass or draw pictures on it, that’s why we can’t have nice things here. I did see that there is a kiosk you can tap your Magic band and it will tell you your locker number. I have seen reviews where people just love it, we will see. Thanks for the video!
When you said the art work looked like ollie's I lost it 😂 that's what I thought !
Rode it in May with my older brother and dear god 😓
I’m not the biggest roller coaster guy, but we kept seeing the hype and we were like ‘eh, why not?’
I think my brother enjoyed it for the most part but I think he also complained about feeling cramped on the cycle. I was also uncomfortable; I’m a thicc guy, so being squished in there for what felt like forever wasn’t a fun experience. Again, I’m not the biggest roller coaster fan, so apart from the initial launch and some parts inside, I kept my eyes closed. Also, despite getting my stomach jostled on other rides, Tron was the first that make me feel queasy after riding it 🙃
But, I also rode this in preparation for Rocking Roller Coaster the next time we go to Disney, so yeah 🙃
So much cyberpunk at disneyworld now. Getting us ready for our dystopian future.
Looks like they have a lot of kinks to work out but it might take an enormous re tool to fix this. I really wasn’t overly impressed with Guardians, either. It felt like a lot of spinning that made me dizzy, and that’s not something that happens too often-and I love roller coasters. Flight of Passage remains the only new ride I’ve tried that lived up to the hype.
Rise & Flight were truly some amazing first ride experiences
Thank you for saying that about cosmic rewind…I hated it, it made me so dizzy between the noisy loud music and the spinning…
Hated cosmic rewind, too dizzying, and have yet to try flight of passage…but if you thought it was good , ie not nauseating, I’d be willing to try it
Was really looking forward to your review!! It’s really sad that a ride we’ve been waiting this long for is so meh.
Totally appreciate your honesty, especially seeing you struggling to figure out the vehicle. I don’t have nuts to crack but I can already tell I’m gonna be super uncomfortable sitting like that! Your knees were locked in from behind too right? That would drive me insane lol
I don’t remember which one, but one of the bloggers said if you tap the screen with your magic band, it will give you your locker number.
I did ride tron and it’s still the same. I’m a small person but it felt like it didn’t hold me tight enough and I felt lose and it scared me. Plus the ride bruised my ribs so badly that the next day they still hurt. Not really a good ride for smaller people either.
I enjoyed it, but it was definitely too short. I fit in the seats just fine (5’9, 180), but my buddy (6’, 290) was very uncomfortable.
They should have put in new elements are changed the ride, but making a copy was probably easier and cheaper.
I don't understand that big overhang thing after the first launch. You can clearly see you are outside and not in the "matrix" or whatever. I don't get the point. Yes, it looks pretty, but what does it do for the ride?
Wife and I are heading to DW beginning of March. I was upset because I found out Tron won’t be open yet. Now Im not worried about it. I like my balls and the glass would have been a huge turn off. Thanks for the great content. Im a big fan!
I am sorry you were disappointed my friend. Disney has lost so much "magic" over the years. Lets hope they can fine tune it some, the ride its self looked just kind of Ho Hum to me
Also I'm surprised he hasn't uploaded anything on Universal Mardi Gras yet. I went last week and it was amazing
coming soon:)
Your best review! This reminds me of "The IT" from South Park 😅
Kind of needs an original villain in the pre show trying to wipe out the user filth. A little rework of the rides narrative could elevate it.
Hopefully they make some changes for comfort, and fit in more of the larger ride vehicles. Daft not to consider that.
I would have loved to see some of the characters show up but all we got was those random graphics of random people
Does Tron have big drops or small ones?
Been eagerly awaiting to ride tron since 2018 and now I'm concerned I will be disappointed when I ride in July🙃
your reviews/opinions are the best/ most raw thank you for the honesty
Not gonna sugar coat it like everyone else:)
Honest list of issues and problems.
If you have short term memory problems just take a picture with your phone. If you are old school bring a piece of paper and a crayon and do a rubbing….makes a great souvenir.
Yeah… I was stunned when he complained that remembering 3 whole numbers was too hard. Sheesh.
Great video! You described it justly as I saw it: 'a total waste' ...
Mad respect for the honest review.. cant wait to see what Mickey Views or Paging Mr Morrow has to say in there reviews
the ball blaster 9000
LMFAOOO
@@KevinHeimbach tighties twister
4:06 Someone should write "C-19" on the plastic, lol.
seems like a very uncomfortable ride with lots of ways to lose your valuables with the bad locker system. And the handprints were so gross xp
The storage on the light cycle does have a ton of room for wallets or keys which is nice
Oh, man! Well gotta say it. Great review Kev! God bless you for putting your body through that!
My daughter who was a cast member is still on social media in cast chats and the complaints about the trains are many!!! Disney needs to make whole trains for bigger people not just 2 seats.
How strict are they about letting only cast members and their guests ride?
Did you have to take your glasses off? I'm concerned about wearing my glasses on the ride, although they're fine on rides like Hagrid's at IOA.
I wore my glasses the whole time
@@KevinHeimbach Thank you for letting me know. My chance to ride is in just a few days. I really hope I enjoy it. Lol
They should’ve just had each train have the accessible back car. That would seem to make more sense .
I think you might be nitpicking this too much crime scene room glass that people's going to touch And it being illuminated by blue light it's kind of cool and kind of gross but I'm pretty sure they're clean. this is just the cast preview so not everything is set up they're efficiency isn't there yet because it's cast preview so maybe go ride it when it opens to see if anything changes cuz there's going to be a lot of changes once it opens to the public / starts passholder preview
This was a preview. They’re nowhere near done. Also, Tron is based on an 80’s film and the posters look like they’re meant to emulate that. Seems you thought Tron was a new film lol
Tron Legacy came out in 2010 which is the aesthetic of light cycle run
@@kandikidzora Apparnetly it’s a combination of things based on those posters tho
Honestly Disney did an amazing job making the posters in the queue look like actual arcade posters.
"Thanks for riding! Ice pack? for your junk?"
Blue Balls - The Attraction 😂
Ya well I won't be going on that. Lol
Now try riding it with an open mind. Enjoy it for what it is. Motorcycles ARE uncomfortable to ride. Yeah it should be longer but Disney doesn't to BIG thrill rides. Go ride Velocicoaster if you want a big thrill. I like the tame rides and no anxiety about a 300 foot drop or 100 kph speeds.
Thank you for this!! It seems like honest reviews are hard to come by nowadays.
Glad it was helpful!
"WE ARE HOT CHICS."
Imagine that thing breaks down and everyone is stuck on those things locked in that position. Nooooo
sorry about all the filth on the walls, I had to touch everything I saw ^_^
Did people really like Tron that much? I feel like it wasn't that popular when it came out but maybe that was just a my bubble sort of thing idk
The nutcracker
This is going to be so bad! It’s like you say the Shanghai public is much smaller and slender, so for us in US that’s just not good. And even people that are “fit” are protesting that they feel super uncomfortable and in pain at some times. This could be very troubling since it could end in law suits. If they wanted to copy a ride from the international parks they should have brought Battle for Sunken Treasure also from Shanghai or Mystic Mannor from Hong Kong Disneyland… or maybe Journey to the Center of the Earth like in Tokyo DisneySea 🥺.
Another thing its the ride time, this is going to piss so many people after waiting hours for it.
I would have had two coasters at the same time, one in blue the other in red, and guest could choose which side they wanted, and they would almost crash with each other and compete for the finish line, and would have different sequence in which sometimes the red team would win and in other blue team, then something climatic happening at the end like everything turns to that color and it’s like the Virus or program took over the entire grid… kind of like in Kingdom Hearts 2!
They should of done a Indiana Jones ride instead
Gonna have to dip nuts in ice
What Did You Guys Think About Tron At Magic Kingdom?
Tron isnt even making my top 300 favorite coasters. As of now, I have it dead last at 399
It looks like it has too many twist and turns for me.
Did you check to see if you got a photopass sent to your magicband?
No on ride photo showed up on my magic band
I think Disney should have all Guests put all items inside the locker. One day a guest is going to take out their phone to record, than the ride has to stop and cast members have to tell the guest to put their phone away. Just a huge mess. I want everyone to just enjoy the ride. Not like the video is going to come out good anyways lol.
