I'm wondering if Disney is doing cuz of people like me who, well, ummmmm, don't even know what Tron is? Free advertising I suppose.

Personally I don't like it all. Way too commercial for me. -- tory

I don't hate it, but it'd be really cool if the monorail made the light-cycle sound too.

They didn't re-do all the monorails on the EPCOT line. Only monorail Coral got the TRON treatment. In fact, my wife and I spent Saturday afternoon at EPCOT (I'll post pictures and a trip report soon, I promise) and only monorails Blue, Black, and Gold were on the EPCOT line. No TRONorail. I was kind of disappointed.

I like the idea.... I didn't get to see the original TRON in theaters, but the new movie looks awesome and this is a neat way to promote the film

Did the wrap fall off already :D

It seems likely that it will not run every day. I think they only use 10 monorails a day so there might be a few times when it won't be running.

Maybe its too early to start the full promotion for Tron 2.0?

you can't really go wrong with Tron. However I can see why people hate it. Blatant advertising.

I think it's fun.
Plus, we were the ones who went to the original movie, played the game in the Fiesta Fun Center (we went thru a lot of quarters chasing spiders), and now have tee shirts with the little light cycles on them.
So, for sure we will want to ride the Tronorail.
