TRON Lightcycle Run construction - June 3 2021
Posted: Thursday June 3, 2021 12:32pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

The TRON construction site at the Magic Kingdom has seen some significant changes today as crews install a large scaffolding tower and open up part of the building.

Looking at the right side of the scaffolding tower int he photo below you can see fairly large section of the building has been opened.

The scaffolding tower is heading towards the part where the track enters the building, suggesting we may soon see that area opened up.

On other parts of the structure more supports have been added ready for the canopy installation.


Progress continues to be made, albeit at a much slower rate than typically seen on a project of this size. Disney has not yet mentioned any projected opening date since the project was paused and then slowed during the COVID-19 shutdown. Best estimates put an opening in the first half of 2022.

Not that I have a problem with jogging in general, but I never find that I’m very far in line behind the people who jogged. 🤷🏻‍♂️

The VQ system (finally) ends today for Tron! Standby line starts tomorrow September 9, 2024. Scatterplot of every single VQ data point collected for the past 538 days, which includes soft opening and everyday since the ride opened on April 4, 2023. Here's my final update for it and wrap-up post:

I agree, that sun will be burning down on people, also its not the quickest loading for me, with only say 8-10 people in the show room, be interesting how long that line goes. if the line looks long for us, it'll be ILL's all round.

Yes! It’s an excellent ride experience. Definitely a must-do E-ticket. If it was longer and had a properly themed (or better hidden) show-building, it would be among the best additions on property.

If they add it early entry resort guest might be less likely to buy a lighten lane single pass thingy or whatever it's called now. 😉 💰
