Here's hoping we get the Tron-O-Rail

Promotion in Disney Parks

A highly trusted source conveyed the following about TL's forthcoming presence in Disney parks. This is, by no means, the only way TRON LEGACY will be evident at Disney Parks - this is just one piece of a larger push.

RON Legacy checking in with you from Central Florida.

Last week I was having lunch with one of my [[[POSITION OMITTED BY MERRICK]]] in Orlando who filled me in on something cool that is going to be unveiled next week at the Walt Disney World Parks. Something internally they are calling the 'TRON-O-RAIL'.

Apparently the Motion Picture design team out in California have created a vinyl wrap that will encompass one of the Monorails that circle above the park. From what he's seen, it will make the Monorail look like a light-cycle from the upcoming TRON movie is riding the rails above you.

I guess the cab is the cycle and the rest of the cabins are the light trail? Sounds pretty neat. Not sure if there are any lights, sounds or effects that accompany it - but I for one can't wait to see it. Very cool that the parks are allowing this to be done to their transportation system! Hopefully it will run long enough to time out with the film's release. A step beyond the old People Mover that featured TRON in it years ago thats [sic] for sure. Too bad they didn't update the ALICE in WONDERLAND ride to make it tie into the new Tim Burton movie. Only a matter of time I bet.

The...TRON-O-RAIL?? Need some pictures of that. How bad-ass would it be if the outline of the TRON-O-RAIL glowed? If anyone out there ends-up in Disney Parks over the next couple of weeks, snap a few shots of this & send 'em in.

Gawd I hope we get one of those!

Would a mod please correct my typo in the title?

We all live in a yellow Tron-O-Rail, a yellow Tron-O-Rail, a yellow Tron-O-Rail!

I love TRON and all, but when I heard about that all I could think of was the Stitch "overlay" on the WDW monorail when the Stitch Escape lame-o attraction opened in the MK. Meh, I say.

And the Nemo overlay.....sorry loved the LoT's version of the song "Yellow Monorail", but the overlay was really bad!

Sounds pretty cool if it's glowy at night. During the day it sounds lame.

It just seems like cheap advertising to me. Like the people who let their cars get painted with the logo or advertising info of a company for money.

aw, I was hoping it had something to do with the neglected track in Tomorrowland. Bummer :(

Actually, that was my first thought as well.

Maybe some day....

It's better than the godawful balloons, but still kinda meh.

That looks shopped. I can tell because of the pixies, and having seen a few shops in my time.

I assumed it was a mock-up since the one-rail is in the exact same place as is everything else in the picture.

You know what happens when you assume, don't you?

Yeah I know...

That's from the Bad News Bears. It's like this:

Uh... yeah, I knew that. It's an oldie. I was deflecting.

Neglected? You must not have heard about a little high velocity thrill ride called the Rocket Rods.

I thought perhaps the movie was before your time.

:D
