Sounds exciting though my DS loves speedway.

This is just a rumour at the moment. There's nothing confirmed. Heck, there's also another rumour that Epcot will get the Tron lightcycle rollercoaster, not MK.

We'll have to wait and see if anything gets announced at D23 in 4 or 5 days time.

That light cycle POV looks like a cross between space mountain and test track... looks better then speedway though, we have been on it once it's fast pass and I wasn't the biggest fan, shame though as it's a big hit with the youngsters hwho cant drive racing parents.

So hope it's true!

I have mixed feelings about replacing the Speedway.

As an adult, I'd definitely like something like Tron! ...But I remember as a child loving driving the Speedway and there isn't anything else similar for children at WDW.

P.S. Isn't there chatter about Space Mountain getting a refurb/overhaul, too? If so, hope they don't do both at once.

And another rumour is the Speedway will get a Sugar Rush overlay..

Geoff, isn't this the one rumoured to be coming ? Or have I misread

[bighal]

or even a overhauled speedway AND Tron...

Looks like Tron will be going behind speedway... along with some major rumoured changes to Tomorrowland.

Just had a look at the Tron ride on YouTube and it looks great but can't help thinking it would be better suited to Epcot rather than MK.
