TRON Lightcycle Run construction - June 30 2021
Posted: Wednesday June 30, 2021 9:49am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

The construction team at the Magic Kingdom's TRON Lightcyle Run has reached another milestone this week beginning the removal of the main tower crane from the construction site.

The tower crane has been on site for a significant period of time and has supported the installation of much of the structural steel throughout the site.

Crews have the rather delicate job of standing atop the crane as they dismantle it and lower the pieces down to the ground via a secondary mobile crane.

Elsewhere, more of the blue safety netting is being installed.

At the opening to the building, work is continuing on removing the temporary facade that sealed up that area and placing the finished pieces around the track area.

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. 😉 💰
