Tron Coaster replacing Tomorrowland Speedway?

Less coasters and more family friendly rides.
Don’t take a family favorite and classic attraction away for a 3 min coaster ride with limited ridership due to height and health restrictions.

Maybe it’s because I don’t have kids, but I feel like everything is being geared toward families as of late. (Like Alien Encounter, they should have left that alone!) I think the variety at WDW allows it to be a great family experience even if little ones can’t ride everything. That’s the beauty of it, you don’t all have to ride the same things all the time. Without attractions that appeal to adults, it becomes just another place to take your kids. I will never be a sole patron of WDW because they don’t have enough rides for adrenaline junkies like myself. I LOVE WDW, always have, always will. But sometimes I need a fix of more adult rides. I think they have a decent balance right now, but if they tone it down too much they’ll have a problem. My opinion.

I roller coasters but we have family members that get motion sickness and can’t ride them. Plus the kid factor.
So some of our family members have nothing to do while others spend hours riding coasters.
And they really don’t like killing time while some of us ride the thrill rides.
And every time they remove a family friendly attraction for a thrill ride, that’s one less thing for them to do while others ride coasters.
So I say add all the coasters they want but don’t sacrifice family rides to do so.
I always thought that Uni was better suited for coaster riders and thrill rides (think six flags) while Disney for families.
Obviously, I can only speak about our family situation.

Well unless you have high blood pressure, heart, back, or neck problems, motion sickness, or other conditions that could be aggravated by this adventure. Expectant mothers should not ride.

That eliminates just about all of us!

@starbee I do like a balance for my family members that love the thrill rides. I selfishly don’t like staying behind, only because I feel like I am missing out on a memory being made. Scared to death of heights, but sometimes I make myself, like on Everest and it is one of my favorites now! However, I have never gotten stuck on it going up yet….

I don’t have kids either and I somewhat agree. I don’t like everything being kiddie rides but I miss the educational ride through omnimover types that bore kids these days. I love dark rides and think every Character deserves one. I do enjoy the occasional thrill ride but I’m not for inviting more teen groups into the parks. lol I think Disney is missing a good demographic when they ignore the mature couple or even solo traveler. People are always shocked when I tell them that I have been to WDW alone. It’s something that would never cross most peoples minds I guess. It was my favorite trip to date!

never understood why they didn’t update the tomorrow-land speedway with electric cars (golf cart). they should do a coaster….but make it horizontal speed cycles! use the same swivel tech, they made for the dwarf mine ride.
