TRON Lightcycle Run construction - March 29 2021
Posted: Thursday April 1, 2021 9:29am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

The construction team at TRON Lightcyle Run hit another milestone this week as crews put the final piece of the canopy support framework into place.

In the photo above you can also see the topping-off flag, which marks the highest point on the structure.

Crews are still working on welding all over the canopy, with more than 10 high reach boom lifts at work.


It isn't yet clear if we will see the canopy get its cover before what we expect to be a pause in the project, with a resumption later in the year.


Here is a look at a piece of concept art showing the finished canopy.

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. 🤷🏻‍♂️

It's refreshing to know Disney guests can still run and jog!!

Done it 2 days in a row now and indeed it was a stampede...people running, jogging...saw one woman drop her phone and cause a dawned pile up as she stopped to pick it up.

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:

And If I was 6’10” and a had a good jump shot I’d be in the NBA.

It’s literally show up an hour early?

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. 😉 💰
