We’ve been closely monitoring the construction of the Magic Kingdom’s newest attraction TRON: Lightcycle Run!
And while the ride isn’t slated to open until 2021 (just in time for Disney World’s 50th-anniversary celebration!) we’ve seen A LOT of progress over the last few days!
The new TRON coaster is really beginning to take shape! We’ve seen several large pieces of the exterior track come to rest over the supports that had previously been installed over the past few days — thanks in large part to the enormous cranes we’ve seen towering over Tomorrowland for some time!
Read more about TRON: Lightcycle Run’s costumes and ride vehicles here!
The framing of the interior portion of the attraction is also coming along, as we spotted some workers up on the rooftop!
It’s been exciting watching TRON: Lightcycle Run come together and we can’t wait to see how the U.S. version stacks up against it’s Shanghai counterpart — it’s even easier to envision whipping around on our lightcycles now that we can see the track’s layout!
Disney has really been working hard in Tomorrowland and we’ve seen a bunch of changes like the new Traders sign! How do you feel about all of this change? We’re really looking forward to experiencing TRON: Lightcycle Run! Are you?!

I am so excited for Tron! I am actually more immediately concerned about when the construction will be far enough along that Disney opens the railroad back up!!! It would be nice if they would announce that date. 🙁

Please tell me when the MK railroad will be in operation ??? Miss it terribly.

I’m really excited for Tron! I live near Busch Gardens Williamsburg and ride the coasters there all the time. My husband and I are big coaster fans, and they’re even better when they’re ‘Disney-fied!’
