DISNEY PARKS : ↳ Minnie Mouse's TRON costume at the TRON Lightcycle Run Media Event

[imaginative-joy]

I finally got to ride TRON: Lightcycle/Run at Magic Kingdom and determined it was one of the coolest things I've ever done with my life. Now I'm itching to get back into the Tron aesthetic and did a Quorra sketch. I haven't done a cel-shading style in a long time!

(Anyone else miss Tron: Uprising? Taken from us too soon...)

Made a quick holder for my identity disc to wear to the parks. I didn’t really want the backpack they sell, it seems a bit bulky.

Just found out Cindy Morgan has passed away. What an awful way to start the new year, as a TRON fan.

Rest in peace Cindy, you will be greatly missed. 😥

New TRON merch just dropped for Lightcycle /Run in Tomorrowland, I am frothing at the mouth right now.

Allegedly Tron will be getting TWO merch shops in Tomorrowland, one is by the ride itself, and the other will be in the abandoned Alien Encounter building. Could this mean a second attraction is planned for the distant future..?

Here’s Rinzler’s stat page for y’all!

This was a overlay in  Anaheim from I believe 82’ until the end of the People movers run (when it turned into the disastrous Rocket rods- funnnily enough there was a Tron idea of racing cycles around tommorowland that wouldn’t went on this track. It was one of their initial ideas and potentially how we have lightcycle run today) . Aside from needing a serious oil job from all the squeaking, there is a charm to the OG people over, I’m also jealous it goes through star tours!

Now the Tron portion occurs midway during one of the tunnel portions of the ride. Automatically you can tell what budget their on, the voice isn’t very robotic (compare it today to the train at Disney world where a siren comes on in the tunnel before approaching Tron).

You get digitized in the same exact shot from the film, down to the dial up noise creating pretty stellar projections throughout the tunnel, the same beautiful shots of patterns and circuits. It goes into a lightcycle sequence racing and dodging around you— honestly it’s pretty great visually and I absolutely adore how perfect they have the sound?

“You have escaped Tron’s game grid for now Users,” I’m sobbing. Was he trying to run us down??? Hello?? This is especially funny because going into the tunnel it mentions master control and HE is the one mad/digitizing the guests. It’s the computer world of Tron but not his games.

It’s not as cheesy as I thought it was going to be, in fact it’s a great little tribute/advertisement for the movie itself “wasn’t that cool? Go watch it!” Alongside how back in the day the parks had actual arcades within them too. All I’m saying is we still have a people mover at Disney world and a already existing Tron ride… it’d only be fitting… 80s projections and all.

I like how much influence this held on what ultimately became lightcycle run, now of course it’s set In the sequel but the idea dates back to the original. Both the digitization sequence and lightcycle race are pivotal to both films so it only makes sense they’d want a attraction on it.

Ended the day with an all time favorite...such great sunset views around Tomorrowland.

Tron Donald. At the media event for the WDW opening of Tron Lightcycle Run, they had Fab Five characters in Tron Legacy style outfits.

The pure excitement of holding my identity disk, I can’t even. I bought both the Sam and Rinzler identity chips, I couldn’t help ittt.

So this guy, right?

I love the new "retro" styled Tron figure I snagged from Lightcycle//Run for a lot of reasons, but one thing specifically cracks me up more than anything...

The original figure this one is modeled after from the 80's was designed with a cool see-through purple Tron who sat comfortably in his Lightcycle, as you can see here [pics taken from an ebay listing, not mine tho I WISHHHHHHHH]

But now, the new figure?.......

The cycle itself looks sharp as heck, but BUT they have a pretty different way for the character to settle in the cycle itself... so once you open it up, there's really only one way to get Tron in there & for the cycle to close up properly, which is like so........

Ah, yes, he does it so elegantly. Sitting booty DIRECTLY upright, like an I/O Tower to better communicate with his user, hell yeah, babeeeeeeeey!!!!!!!

Just look at that FORM!!

The PANACHE!!!!

Riding that vehicle like it was the only thing in life that mattered.

Oh, I just know it, Alan-one would be so proud♡♡♡
