Walt Disney World anunció en Instagram que Tron LightCycle / Run en Magic Kingdom ahora incluirá iluminación y música inspirada en la próxima película, *Tron: Ares *, con sonidos de Nine Inch Nails. * Tron: Ares* se lanzará en los cines el 10 de octubre.

Esta misma superposición está llegando a la atracción Tron de Shanghai Disney.

¿Qué es Tron: Ares? ¿Qué es esta superposición de viaje?

Tron: Ares es la última película de la serie Tron. Las películas siguen una historia en la que las personas ingresan a un mundo digital dentro de las computadoras, llamada “The Grid”.

La entrega más reciente presenta a Jared Leto interpretando a “Ares”, un personaje creado usando inteligencia artificial que pasa de un mundo digital a nuestro propio. Si bien los detalles sobre la historia siguen siendo limitados, los fanáticos están particularmente entusiasmados con la inclusión de la música en Nine Inch Nails.

A diferencia de las películas anteriores * Tron * conocidas por su neón azul y amarillo, la nueva película * Tron: Ares * tendrá un estilo visual claramente rojo. Este esquema de color rojo se reflejará en la atracción Tron LightCycle Run en el parque, que también contará con música de uñas de nueve pulgadas y una historia en la que el villano control maestro ha incautado la potencia.

Esta es una actualización bastante directa de la iluminación, el sonido y las imágenes que Disney podría lograr sin gastar mucho dinero.

Tron: una franquicia de larga duración que carece de contenido

La película *Tron *, que lanzó la carrera de un joven Jeff Bridges, se estrenó el 9 de julio de 1982. Fue elogiado por su uso innovador de imágenes generadas por computadora, CGI, durante la mayor parte de la película, lo que lo convierte en un pionero en los efectos visuales.

Sin embargo, su primera secuela tomaría décadas en salir.

Though it had been almost 30 years since the original *Tron*, its sequel, *Tron: Legacy*, finally arrived in theaters on December 17, 2010. However, the film wasn’t a big hit with audiences.

I remember when *Tron* came out, everyone was so excited about the special effects, but honestly, the attempt to make Jeff Bridges look young again didn’t *quite* work. It was a little… unsettling, almost like it wasn’t quite real. Still, I loved the movie, and it actually inspired some really cool video games, especially that iconic ‘Light Cycles’ sequence – that was just brilliant!

I was so thrilled when Disney took the energy from the Tron movie and turned it into an incredible roller coaster! They built the Tron Light Cycle Power Run for their Shanghai park, and it actually opened with the park itself on June 16th, 2016. It was a huge moment for fans like me!

Disney’s Coaster Competition – A Losing Battle

The movie *Tron* features thrilling races between lightcycles, but Orlando, Florida, is known for a different kind of competition – a constant battle between theme parks to build the biggest and best roller coasters.

To be fair, it’s not much of a competition anymore. SeaWorld Orlando now features eight roller coasters, including the stand-up coaster “Pipeline,” and popular rides like “Mako” and “Manta.”

Universal’s Islands of Adventure offers exciting rides like The Incredible Hulk coaster, Hagrid’s Motorbike Adventure, and the incredibly thrilling Velocicoaster.

Disney’s roller coasters haven’t been as impressive as those at other theme parks, and simply adding a new theme on top of an existing ride isn’t a real solution.

A Decent Overlay – Or Just Another Example of “Minimum Effort” by Disney?

The Tron Lightcycle / Run roller coaster at Magic Kingdom is essentially the same as the one that opened in Shanghai. Disney announced plans for it at their D23 Expo in 2017, only a year after the original Tron coaster debuted in Shanghai.

Work started in February 2018 and was finished in time for the Magic Kingdom’s 50th anniversary celebration in October 2021.

That didn’t happen.

I was so excited for this ride, but even though they saved money by basically copying the design from the Shanghai park, it still faced a lot of delays. We finally got to experience it in April 2023, two years later than expected, and it’s located in Tomorrowland – totally worth the wait!

The ride’s exterior looks a bit futuristic, but at just over a minute long, it doesn’t offer much excitement, particularly for serious roller coaster fans. Although the current themed design might be useful for marketing, it’s really just a low-cost way to avoid making substantial improvements to the ride itself.

As a Disney fan, I’ve noticed they often update rides with new lighting and music. It’s amazing how much of a difference it makes, and the best part is it doesn’t seem to cost them much, but they get to announce a whole ‘new experience’ anyway! It’s a smart way to keep things feeling fresh.

It feels like a “this will do for now” solution to a problem that’s not easily going away.
