I always thought RnR was short until I rode Tron. RnR is one of my favorites rides though. And it’s fun throughout not just the first 20ish seconds like Tron.

Not even close. RnR by a factor of 5X. Music, freeway theming, acceleration, corkscrew. Probably my 2nd favorite coaster behind Disney's California Adventure's Incredicoaster.

I love both, but in needing to choose, I also incorporated the line and pre-show. The wait time and pre-show, not to mention the locker situation pre- and post-ride for Tron eat a lot of time. The ride itself is great, but short....in my experience far shorter than all the pre-and post-. Though RnRC's line can be long, it moves more consistently. ...and let's face it... there are always backstage passes! Sorry to see this theming leaving!

My head hurts just thinking of RnR. It’s too tough of a ride. I prefer the smoothness of Tron.

RnRC—although I like Tron. Love Aerosmith (although the queue feels outdated). I never felt that it wasn’t a smooth ride but I guess I’m probably comparing it to SM, which is absolutely migraine-inducing for me. As much as I love Muopets, I’ll be sad to see Aerosmith go!

Curious if the results will be different than the last time you made this post.

The thing is, RNRC is short, but I always can't wait until it is over! With TRON, it's short, and I want more - That's why I voted TRON. My head, neck, and spine all agree.

TRON all the way. Rock n Roller Coaster is so dated and needs to be rethemed ASAP.

Not a fan of TRON. It's cool, but wayyyyy too short. Love RNRC!!

Such a hard choice as is indicated by the survey results so far. They are both great rides and are well themed. It will be interesting to see if the survery results stay so close.

I'm going to have to think on this.

Neither is a great ride as a ride. Coaster is a more-or-less standard Vekoma model that happens to be inside a building---and it is not one of Vekoma's better layouts. TRON's layout is even less interesting, but the open nature of the ride vehicle adds to the experience, and the inside-to-outside-back-inside transitions are fun.

They aren't that different in track length: about 100 feet, give or take. (Statistics: Coaster, and TRON).

As attractions, I give TRON the nod. It has some fantastic midway interaction that helps build anticipation. Plus, I'm a middle-aged man who was a 13-year-old video game fan and novice computer programmer when TRON first came out, and gosh I wanted to live Flynn's life!

Flynn had the cool life, but you know it's more likely that you'd become Alan, or really even the guy who asks Alan if he can have some of his popcorn, awash in a forever-sea of cubicles! Actually, the cubicles are a matte painting, but it really captures actual life in the corporate world!
