Tron construction site - February 2019

Construction is about to move into high-gear at the site of the upcoming Tron coaster at the Magic Kingdom.

A tower crane, which is used to lift heavy items and assemble steel structures, is now onsite in Tomorrowland.

Disney recently submitted a permit for "Install Ride Steel," with the work being carried out by long-time Disney construction partner Coastal Steel Inc.

Disney is yet to announce an opening date for Tron at Walt Disney World, but we expect to see it debut in the Spring of 2021.

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. 😉 💰
