This makes sense to me. Now, I don't know much about Disney/Disneyworld/Disneyland (I haven't watched many Disney movies since I was a kid, and I've never been to either theme park), so bear with me if I'm just totally clueless here. But what is Starcade? Does that really have anything to do with any Disney movies, or is it just something they came up with? If the latter, why the hell would they NOT have an arcade that directly ties into one of their movies, rather than just being a random theme?abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

If ElecTRONica closes.. I do hope they would make the arcade in Tomorrowland a Flynn's Arcade.. With the success of Legacy it can stand on its own.. And even not.. Its just an arcade called Flynn's.. Means nothing to no one who doesn't know Tron.. Means everything to those who do know Tron. It would work fine. I don't know why they haven't done it already.

In my opinion.. A End of Line club would work in tommorrowland too.. With a light floor and light up drinks looks very futuristic.

Not a movie tie in, as much as it is a themed thing.

It's in Tomorrowland near Star Tours and the exit to Space Mountain, so really it's just a "Theme". It's mostly a gift shop now anyway,

It's a futuristic-themed arcade, and the design is quite fitting for Tommorowland. The games, however, are not.

Likewise, the games in there now wouldn't really fit in too well with Flynn's Arcade, nor would the actual theme of Flynn's Arcade (that being an 80's arcade).

I'd much rather go into the Tron world than a fictional place from the real world, lol.

You're right that Flynn's was a 80's theme arcade... filled with games from that era.. And its just not like that now a days..Guess its been a while since I've been in an arcade... (the 80's!!)

Well, since the concept of an arcade is way outdated anyway...

A slight refresh... Does that mean they're changing anything? Or just time off. This does explain how FlynnOne heard it was ending this weekend. Glad it's staying for a while. I hope to see it.

Right, but the point is, if they're worried about something seeming outdated... then they shouldn't have an arcade at all. Since they do, they may as well make it Flynn's.

hopefully this "slighty refresh" will have the theatre replace the Tron Legacy trailer with a "Tron: Uprising" trailer in 3-D, and hopefully they'll get a DJ that plays Industrial, Industrial-electronica, and music from Kraftwork, Crystal Method, more Daft Punk music from The Knife (whom are awesome), the generic Pop-music House mixes some of the Dj's play is really "meh" IMO.

But It would be horrible if ElecTRONica is replaced with some lame Alice in Wonderland themed crap. ElecTRONica has raked in *a lot* revenue that it makes no sense to replace it with some wierd, cutesy Alice themed stuff.

This got a bit of bad publicity. A girl went to security saying a young man she was dancing with (stranger not friend) got hands on with her. He was arrested. Is this a rave-y place? I didn't think so but I've never been.order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pill

It is kinda. People dance around to a live DJ and there's flashing lights and stuff everywhere. But there's a lot of security and entertainers in that area, too.

That could happen anywhere you go. People get groped on the street, in the grocery store. (Knuckle sandwich probably would've taken care of the problem.) Don't see what it's got to do with ElecTRONica, per se, except that it happened to happen there. I'm very sorry she met up with an asshole, and I'm very sorry she did not indeed let his nose become intimate buddies with her fist, but unless he was a Disney employee or a security guard was standing right there watching it happen, I don't see why they should be blamed.where to buy abortion pill http://blog.bitimpulse.com/template/default.aspx?abortion-types buy abortion pill online

Wasn't saying anything except that the place had some recent publicity. Just adding news that had to do with the place. Yep, if it had been me, one whomp upside the head, if not a knee to the groin would have taken care of that.

I don't know if anyone is placing the blame on ElecTRONica per se.. (Maybe security wasn't doing their job) But the fact that it happened there is unfortunate. And along with it the unfortunate bad publicity. (Parents may not want their kids to go there because it happened.) But Kat is right. It can happen anywhere. And does.

If I met the guy his face would ABSOLUTELY become close friends with my fist.

Agreed. I was there this past labor day weekend & man was it a wreck. DCA is more of a maze now than what it was before. To get to flynns arcade however is a bit of a chore now (well for those who are now going that is with all the remodeling going on) The time frame was stil the same 6-10 fri-sun. I am however curious as to how this refresh will make it any different though I have a feeling they may do some sort of preview update for tron uprising. Again key word maybe. if it changes for the better than I will visit again before the end of the year otherwise if the change is simply aesthetics then I don't know why they even bothered closing it temporarily. That will have to wait till next time.
