TRON Lightcycle Run construction update from Magic Kingdom

TRON Lightcycle Run construction - December 1 2021
Posted: Thursday December 2, 2021 11:20am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Construction has resumed at TRON Lightcyle Run in the Magic Kingdom after almost two months of very little activity.


The entrance ramp is now clearly visible, which will take guests up over the railroad tracks and into the ride itself.


This concept art shows how the entrance ramp will look when complete.

More of the exterior canopy is also being put into place.


On the other side of the site viewed from Fantasyland, working is continuing on the new building.


It is now starting to be enclosed with the same blue cladding material as on the main ride building.

We still don't have an opening date for TRON at Walt Disney World, and Disney is remaining silent on the issue. At the recent D23 event where updates were offered on upcoming projects, TRON was mentioned, but no opening details were given. The ride was originally planned to open in Spring 2021, which obviously did not happen. The expectations were then that the ride would move to a 2022 opening, but with Disney announcing 'Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind' to open in the summer of 2022, it remains possible that TRON will be pushed to a 2023 opening.

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. 😉 💰
