Disney BETRAYS Tron.......

on Tuesday, September, 20, 2011 8:29 PM
Greetings Programs....

Today, Disney has done something that makes CLU's betrayal look like an episode of sesame street.

As many of you all know out of all the years Disney could have done something special special at the parks for TRON all they did was the elecTRONica event which as we al know unfortunately isn't permanent and is only at Disney California Adventure...

Well today...Disney announced a MAJOR thing they are doing at Walt Dinsey World....

I'm sure once you check out this link, you'll see how it is a MASSIVE betrayal to the TRON franchise as a whole, and to it's fans:

I wouldn't call it betrayal . . . I would call it weird though. Really weird. "When I saw this my jaw hit the floor" - weird.

Cameron's Avatar isn't that popular that it deserves this, does it?

I understand Disney has done things like this in the past people have liked alot (Star Tours definitely comes to mind.), but that's when SW was a world wide phenomenon,not a movie from a year ago that "did well".

What happened to the Marvel license? Why not try that? Isn't Disney against anything related to war? What does a fictional planet that looks like Willy Wonka's Sci-fi candy factory have to with a wild animal park about Africa? Are they that afraid to use their own characters now that they want to endorse anything but their own material. Is this easier to do?

Maybe it's just a rumor? I don't think this will ever keep an entirely Tron themed . . . anything from not being in a park at some point.

At least it'll be in Florida, if they were really serious they'd put it in Anaheim.order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pill

It'd make sense for them to put a Tron installation in Anaheim, what with it's proximity to Hollywood and all that. Avatar in Florida makes sense. Maybe we'll see some new developments when Tron 3 goes into production, or afterward...

*shrugs* I can't really get up in arms over this.

Regardless of my personal feelings about Tron (or Avatar, for that matter) the bottom line is that Avatar's shown itself to be the more profitable property. By a considerable margin. Fans - legions of them - have said they'd kill to be able to actually visit Pandora. So are you really surprised that Disney, Fox and Cameron himself all said, "Okay, let's build this thing"? If T: L had been the hit that Avatar was, we'd probably be seeing an attraction that let you walk the streets of the Grid and visit the Outlands on a lightcycle opening right now, but it wasn't, so we aren't. That's not their fault.

Relax, it's for Animal Kingdom. Tron would never fit there. I know your upset, but let's watch how we treat those who have us moving toward a Third tron movie. Have faith Programs. This isn't over yet. Let's just see where Uprising takes us. Remember, Anger, Fear, Aggression...all these lead to the Dark Side.

Might want to take the angst down a notch there and keep perspective: Avatar was a cultural phenomenon, did over 4x the domestic and 7x the world wide gross of Legacy, and is far and away the most successful movie of the modern era, nearly $1 billion over 2nd place.

So sure, I'd love to see more Tron in the theme parks and maybe we will (I'd love me some VR Tron games), but ElecTRONica made far more sense than having a Tron themed section of a park. Avatar lends itself much better to that, and with 2 sequels coming in 2014 and 2015 or 2016, it sounds like Disney has timed this perfectly.

I feel the same, but it doesn't mean it's not true. Something in the movie or the 3D or whatever tapped into the public zeitgeist. Can't dismiss $2.7 billion whether you care for the movie or not.order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pill

Here is some more info about the project and some fan Q&A with the one of the Disney Park execs done after the announcement. He did address the question about why an outside franchise and not internal, but did not touch on TRON.

ppl just jumped on the avatar hype wagon, doesn't mean it deserved all the money it grossed, and greedy james cameron wanting to re-release it in theaters and making 2 different versions of it available on dvd.

Avatar at Disney? Avatar is not the "nice movies" like Disney is known for. They curse and "mate", both of which is against Disney type movies. I have a bad feeling about this.on line abortion pill misoprostol dose abortion medical abortion pill online

I can deny it, because it less than 2 years after the movie came out and nobody is really talking about it anymore. It made a lot of money but it didn't strongly influence the public in any lasting ways. Nothing from it has really entered everyday life, not in the way that something like Star Wars, or Superman or the Godfather has.

I'd argue that there isn't really such a thing as a DIsney type movie. Remember, Disney owned (owns?) Touchstone, and also ABC -- and shows like Desperate Housewives aren't exactly the Disney model.

Also, this honestly has nothing to do with TRON one way or another. Just because they are building an Avatar land doesn't mean that they are not building anything TRON related, and vice versa. Disney is obviously using this to try to combat Harry Potter at Islands of Adventure, but honestly I know a LOT more people who are hardcore Harry Potter fans than people who are hardcore Avatar fans.

I saw Avatar and thought that it was okay. I have seen only one Harry Potter movie. But based on theme alone, I'm *very* interested in seeing Harry Potter at Islands of Adventure, and I have zero interest in visiting Avatarland at Animal Kingdom. Harry Potter makes IoA a mint, and I don't think that Avatar has nearly the same level of merchandising opportunities. Quite frankly, I think that this could end up being a bomb for Disney.

My reaction to Avatar was "meh". It didn't interest me enough to see it when it was running in theaters. I did watch a little of it on HBO and it didn't capture my interest. Obviously Disney feels differently about it so hopefully it works out for them.

Regarding Marvel in Florida, I don't think seriousness has anything to do with it. Putting Marvel in the Florida park would be overkill in my opinion. Universal Studios has (or had, I haven't been there since it opened) a big Marvel exhibit with all kinds of Marvel characters being highlighted in their rides so I don't see much point with them doing that as the parks are all located fairly close to one another if I remember the geographical layout correctly.

Good point. And yeah I didnt like Avatar either. I think the worst part was the primitive aliens beat the technological advanced (with cool mech suits ) humans. I would have liked to see the humans bomb the stupid blue guys to extinction. where to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill online
