Tron AP preview thread

[Aimeedyan]

Here for AP preview right now. 7pm-8pm and the line stretches back to mad tea party. Ridiculous.

Augh. We are going Fri night and that sounds dreadful to stand in with a 3 year old. Guardians never got like that, that I can recall!

How quickly did it move?

Is the front or the back better? If I can only ride once I’m gonna sit in the best seat

Car #1 is the best seat!

We got off the ride at 8:22 so an hour and 22 minutes all together.

Front for the launch and outside portion, and back for following the story inside the building a bit better. Ultimately, I would choose the front, as the outside and launch is the best part of the ride.

I did both on Saturday and I preferred the front. I am 99.9% of the time a back preference rider but this one was so good up front.

 

[rangerxenos]

Definitely ride in the front, I rode somewhere in the middle first ride and front was SO much better!

 

[jlundeen]

I wish they had some of the accessible cars in the front on some of the trains.

Does the front tend to have a longer wait?

I'm sure it will once it opens, but it was only 1 add'l train for me on Saturday night. They were not loading full trains, though, as was discussed earlier in the thread. They built a special waiting area for the front to hold a lot of people so I would anticipate long lines for the front.

Has anyone been late to their preview slot? I should make it, but dreading the spring break I4 drive Friday afternoon from Tampa.

Are they selling merchandise yet? I saw someone at epcot last night wearing a really cool Tron ride shirt. I'd didn't look homemade but I could be wrong.

That would defeat the purpose of the vehicles all together. The purpose of the Vekoma Motorbike seating arrangement is so that you feel like you are falling in to the track and that cannot be accomplished in a regular seat.

Most of the merch that people are wearing is from the internet or from the ride in Shanghai.

The shop is not yet open from what I last saw.

We had DVC preview passes for Sunday at 1:30. There was a bit of confusion when we arrived at the main entrance because we had park hoppers and had already been to Epcot. We waited for about 15 minutes and then they let us in at 1:47. There was a concern that since we entered with the preview pass the system might not recognize that we were in the park and that we wouldn’t be able to access our LL. As it turned out that wasn’t a problem. As far as the preview went, we moved along smoothly in the queue and had a minimal wait. Everyone enjoyed the ride.

We just got to magic kingdom and I forgot my ID!

I've been explaining it to people as a "Think of it as an Everest or Big Thunder Mountain" not Guardians and you'll like it better.

The launch is really something else from the front row!

Also, the 20 second pre-show is perfect.

Well, perhaps a train every now and then that is all accessible - there seems to be a demand for the upright cars not just for those who can't ride bikes, but by those who choose not to. As much as Disney tries to accommodate everyone, this feels a little limiting.

I thought Tron was a lot of fun. It struck me as a cross between Rock N Rollercoaster and Test Track.

They didn’t check ID when I went for my preview on this last Saturday.

We’re going now so I guess we’ll see what they say

ETA: didn’t check ID luckily!
