Does Disney's Tron Identity Disc have a serious flaw? Dad reviews the disc, backpack and chip.

Hey there, all you Disney-loving peeps! It's your one and only dad again, ready to give you the inside scoop on the Tron Identity Program collectibles. Today, I've got my hands on the Identity Disc, backpack, and Sam Flynn Identity chip. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to snag the customized action figure yet, but it's definitely on my shopping list!
Now, let me tell you, my dear friends, I discovered a rather noticeable flaw with my Identity Disc during my review. It's something that really got under my skin and is bugging me so much that I'm contemplating exchanging it for a new one. I won't give it away just yet, but let's just say it's it bugs dad for sure.
But fear not, my friends! Despite this flaw, I still highly recommend checking out these collectibles. The backpack is perfect for holding all your Disney park essentials (and maybe even a few smuggled snacks), and the Sam Flynn Identity chip is a nifty little gadget that unlocks some cool features on disc.

They should have spent the money in more leds for even lighting instead of making it a bad Bluetooth speaker.

[@DadGotParks]

Probably a good idea.

[@Technicallyaddicted]

I’m working on modding the disk. Gonna have it done by June. Stay tuned. Proffie controlled, light by neopixel, button-less full gesture control. And a 28mm bass speaker.

[@DadGotParks]

That sounds amazing! Drop a link where I can follow the progress please.

[@Technicallyaddicted]

@@DadGotParks my channel. There won’t be an update for another month. I got a lot on my plate rn

[@rambam69]

I'm on the same boat, I probably won't start until next week or 2, but I'm wondering how you will add in motion gesture? Could you make a tutorial?

[@WandererTJ]

Did you ever finish upgrading it?

[@Technicallyaddicted]

I am pleased to announce that this project is now officially underway. Ran into some setbacks, but I’m all good now. Full launch coming before 2025. Thank you all for your patience. This is a project I funded with my own dime and no outside investment. I’m estimating a total cost of $360/unit, and a full functioning prototype in as little as 90 days!!

[@taylordiamond]

The disk and backpack were awesome but I HAD to get the cycle and figurine with my face on it instead so I could use the identity chip to turn the bike pink. I will never EVER regret having a pink Lightcycle RC bike.

[@leshiy_nd]

It surely looks cool when you wearing a backpack with identity disc on it. But isn't it too easy to repeat Beck's experience from 5th episode of Tron:Uprising?

[@mickeystine3100]

come on Disney you can do better with speakers. your a multi billion company, get the best

[@jjperceval]

You put bose or senheiser in there and tbe cost skyrockets

[@DadGotParks]

But something better than radio shack from the 90's could not be that much.....

[@haydenfrost2692]

How do you think they made their billions? Cut all expenses

[@frigginresulrum]

I'm interested in how the modding community will make use of that SD slot. Sounds to me like it'll be relatively easy to hack. It could for sure use some surgery to add more LEDs and a better speaker though

[@DadGotParks]

The speaker is woefully sad.

[@taylordiamond]

Turns out it was INCREDIBLY hard.

[@frigginresulrum]

@@taylordiamond Got any links? I'm curious what you've found

[@taylordiamond]

@@frigginresulrum Ruthsarian has a video called Accessing Tron Identity Chip Data. I replied about it twice now but KZbin doesn't seem to be updating.

[@gd19881995]

I had to go into my iPhone settings to turn off the “Headphone safety” setting to make the disc usable. It was super quiet before turning off that setting.

[@DadGotParks]

I’ll have to look for that. Thanks!

[@homersimpson3595]

Did that make the speaker any better?

[@pokeforcegaming1984]

I wish that the sound played when the button is held down was more like the sound played when the disc is activated. It is honestly really bad and the LEDs suck, I almost want to pull mine apart and change it entirely

[@greatgecks2256]

Shout out to RamenNoodleBudget DYI on the Tron disc upgrade showcasing the original spin master toy so I’m sorry your speaker is not defective..it’s Disney if you notice the toy, looks nothing compared to the DYI upgrade kit …so Disney really could’ve done better!

[@DadGotParks]

That is sad to hear. I am going to have to look up the upgrade kit now.

[@BanditJedi]

Great review and I could relate to the reaction when using the disc. At least for the WDW ride we get a completely new Identity Disc design. The Shanghai ride got repackaged Deluxe Discs from the Tron: Legacy Spinmaster toy line. End of Line.

[@DadGotParks]

I did swap it out. They are all not great speakers but mine was particularly bad. Also the Sam chip’s voice recording are bad and make it sound worse. I changed it to the Rinzler and it sounds much better.

[@tadpolegaming4510]

That might actually be better, those Spin master replicas were great

[@WandererTJ]

So the backside of yours doesn't light up either? Just fyi, I'm working on a simple display stand for mine

[@J5TN]

The back lights on mine don't light up. I legit thought it was broken, legit was pretty upset

[@greatgecks2256]

Totally unacceptable mean they had a chance to be really innovative here with the backpack in the whole system and they really dropped the ball. Just wait about a month or so and somebody will 3-D print a really cool bracket so that you can turn any of your backpacks into a Tron backpack. FYI, this is a re-purposed Tron toy from when the movie first came out. They just added the speaker component but it’s a recycled item. It’s not new.

[@DadGotParks]

3D printing is really awesome!

[@nikolasperez7745]

Yeah I noticed that too. I had one and I think I took it apart to cut the sound

[@Jpansta]

Incorrect. I have the entire set of the discs that they sold in stores these are not the same size at all. This are smaller and thinner. This one is far better then the retail ones from the toy line.

[@nikolasperez7745]

@@Jpansta they sold two versions: a deluxe one with lights and sounds and a flat one that was basically a frisbee

[@Jpansta]

@@nikolasperez7745 correct. I have every one of the ones with the lights and sounds. I’m looking at them side by side right this second. They are not the same.

[@smartass1379]

Thank you for the review. I really want one even if the Bluetooth speaker is trash hahahaha

[@DadGotParks]

I did not return it, If that tells you anything lol.

[@legostarwarsrulez]

Does the disc work without buying any of the chips?

[@DadGotParks]

Yes, it just does not make any voice sounds. It just does the wooshes and lights.

[@Corleone1891]

Whats the update?

[@Lysis320]

I still have my Tron Legacy identity disk on display next to my Galaxy’s Edge holocrons.

[@DadGotParks]

I wonder how the old ones got by me when they came out.do you know of a good stand?

[@Lysis320]

@@DadGotParks The old ones came with a display stand 😊 but I’ll look to see if I can find a good one for you!

[@doc2w534]

@@DadGotParks the old ones were really popular at California Adventure as we had the nightly ElecTRONica party which was so much fun. Tons of programs dancing and functioning as DJs. A really cool stage show to open a portal to the Grid for users. A giant Recongizer you had to walk through. They sold disks for both Flynns (black and white) and lots of mod kits and stands made their way to eBay.

[@Xedgehog1]

I bought one. It rocks as a collectible. But if you went looking for a Bluetooth speaker, the sound quality is kind of meh. There is a bit of an odd vibrato to it that we used to call "tinny".

[@DadGotParks]

Very good description of the sound. It is a very cool collectible. I feel like they could have done more with the chip portion also. The Rinzler one sounds WAY BETTER than the Sam one.

[@PrismPhoenix]

How do I remove the identity chip once I put it in the disc?

[@DadGotParks]

I am pretty sure you just pull it out. But I will double check later when I get home.

[@DadGotParks]

Yup, just yank it out lol.

[@Spetznatz01]

I picked one up from eBay at a decent price along with the Rinzler chip. I noticed that on the more lit side of the disc, the holographic bumps have clear plastic in them. This would seem to me to indicate that they can light up, but nothing I do seems to make that happen.

[@DadGotParks]

Any luck getting them to light up?

[@Spetznatz01]

@@DadGotParks not yet. I wanted to take it apart and see what’s going on inside and while I’m there I’ll add way more lights to the Disc, including the holographic bumps.

[@jch2269]

Trust me, it’s not a problem with your specific one, they all have bad speakers

[@DadGotParks]

That is sad to hear. I guess it saves me the hassle of bringing it back though.

[@parkertrujillo3992]

It's not compatible with ps4 is it?😢

[@DadGotParks]

As far as being a speaker?

[@mrm0jor1sin74]

can I just order this stuff online or do I actually have 2 go 2 Disneyland/World?....I would like 2 but it seems easier 2 buy at their online store

[@DadGotParks]

I don’t think they are selling the disc, backpack and figure online. I saw a few shirts and stuff online but not much from the store in the park.

[@mickeystine3100]

don't lose your Id Disk you don't want to shot into Oblivion. Disney is keeping track of you 😎😎😎😎

[@DadGotParks]

They are everywhere.....

[@brianpearse929]

This is a very expensive see and say with fewer sound clips.

[@DadGotParks]

ahahahhaha

[@ZenerDragon]

Speaking about yourself in third person is cringey as hell.

[@JEM_MotoSports]

🤦 ...all together weird & apparently took speech classes from Cpt. James T. Kirk. because he.... pauses.... for an extended.... period of time... In just one sentence. 😆 personally I think his meds are to strong.

[@RemmikRotus]

By 8:54 I had two commercials and two video inserts as an ask from him to support the channel. Not to mention he didn’t present the disk well with lighting not the greatest and oblivious to the disc’s features.

[@DadGotParks]

I’m sorry about the commercials. I don’t control where they put them. I like to go into the items without knowing the features and figuring them out as I go along and people seem to enjoy the process with me. Sorry I didn’t show it off how you would have wanted to see it.

[@shadowhenge7118]

This is all kinda disappointing. Maybe its the video but it only lights up in certain spots with no animation. Think i'll pass.

[@DadGotParks]

It’s not the video. You can totally see the individual led lights. It may not be perfect t but it is good enough for me. Maybe one day I’ll end up modding it.

[@zrichards907]

Weak! Hug fan of Tron but these are terrible, and for that price? No wonder Disney is getting ready to sell off parks
