![]() A new version of the show premiered in June 2011 titled "Laserman: R3CONF1GUR3D", it featured new choreography as well as music from the Daft Punk remix album, Tron: Legacy R3C0NF1GURR3D. Laserman performed a laser/light show set to music. While the dancing went on, programs also taught guests hula-hoop tricks and held disc-throwing competitions. Eckert frequently appeared on the dais to encourage the dancers, call for more music, or introduce an event. Music, ranging from Skrillex to Nicki Minaj, reigned at most points during the evenings, cued up by DJs occupying a central dais while programs danced on platforms and circulated through the crowd. Following this, " The Game Has Changed" briefly played, introducing the "Grid" section of the pre-show, where dancers dressed as programs performed a much more gladitorial dance with clashing discs and martial arts moves.īut even these fearless gladiators, the voiceover would then explain, needed a place to reenergize themselves, along with "someone to guide them, to lead them, to rock their world like it's never been rocked before." Accompanied by two Sirens, Eckert would enter on cue, waxing eloquent about "the wonders of Tron City" and the fun that awaited the audience beyond the Portal, while leading the programs through one of three dance routines, each performed to a different Daft Punk song.ĭuring afternoon pre-shows, Eckert and his programs-combatants, Sirens, and Servers-would teach the audience a dance set to Daft Punk's "Around the World," and invite them to return later when "the sun goes down and the Grid lights up." The evening pre-shows would end right before ElecTRONica was due to open for the evening, and Eckert would lead the audience in a ten-second countdown and then announce that the Portal was open and everyone could "enter the Grid."ĭance was the name of the game at ElecTRONica. After a brief introduction, the introduction to Journey's " Separate Ways" began as dancers dressed in 80's attire cavort before an Arcade mockup. The show started off by introducing the events of the original TRON film, via scenes played on a screen above the stage. Eckert's name first appeared, listed as Combatant 8, on the Disc Wars scoreboard in Tron: Legacy.īefore guests could "enter TRON City," a pre-show called a Power Surge was performed set on a stage just outside the entrance to ElecTRONica (or "The Portal," as Eckert invariably called it). Eckert was portrayed by different performers on different nights, but always had the same appearance and patter on one night his place was taken by a woman in a similar costume, but though she filled the same role as Eckert, she introduced herself as Ada, a name that has since been heard in TRON: Uprising. ![]() Theories as to who Eckert really was were varied, but he once spoke about his "idiot brother who got himself derezzed," setting Eckert up as a sibling of sorts to Castor and providing a reason why he was now the 'owner' of the End of Line Club. His outfit was nearly exactly the same as Castor's, but his hair and facial markings differed. While the show is not expected to reopen at its normal venue in the near future, Laserman, the Tron City Dance Crew, and other ElecTRONica regulars reappeared briefly at Hong Kong Disneyland's Tomorrowland during October, 2012 for Haunted Halloween.Įckert, according to DCA Park Canon, was the host of ElecTRONica and the new owner of the End of Line Club. It permanently closed April 15, 2012, to be replaced by a similar "nighttime celebration" themed around Alice in Wonderland, the Mad T Party. ElecTRONica featured dancing, performers such as LASERMAN, a 3D sneak-peak of the film TRON: Legacy, a mock-up of the End of Line Club, and a recreation of Flynn's Arcade, where guests could play classic arcade games (such as TRON and Space Paranoids), as well as TRON: Evolution.ĮlecTRONica was temporarily closed for refurbishments in early September, 2011, and reopened in October. ElecTRONica started in October, 2010, and was based after a similar nighttime event that called Glow Fest, which took place in the same area. It took place every Friday, Saturday and Sunday night at the Hollywood Backlot section of the park. ElecTRONica was an interactive nighttime dance party that took place at Disney's California Adventure Park, part of the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California.
