TRON Lightcycle Run construction - May 10 2021
Posted: Monday May 10, 2021 11:33am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Construction crews are working on the electrical systems for the lighting package at TRON Lightcycle Run.

Large runs of electric conduit can now be seen being placed throughout the canopy support structure, and various light fixtures are already being installed.

The canopy will feature a complex lighting package that will follow the ride vehicles bringing a lot of visual interest to the structure after dark.

Elsewhere on the canopy, work is continuing on removing the last few support structures.


Crews are working on removing the welded joins and repainting the structure.


Following delays due to the pandemic, the TRON ride is now expected to open later in 2022. Disney is yet to make any official announcement on a timeline for the coaster's 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. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    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?

    Mark DunneSep 08, 2024

    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. 😉 💰
