Construction Update on TRON Lightcycle Run

TRON Lightcycle Run coaster is continuing to make awesome progress every day! Look at the construction progress our MickeyBlogger captured from the Tomorrowland Speedway this afternoon! 

You can see the workers and cranes placing some of the nearly 40 huge pieces of this structure. We still can’t get over the massive size and scale of this new Tomorrowland attraction!

The ride’s signature white canopy is really taking on its notable “curved wave” shape now.

When the completed canopy, known as the Upload Conduit, is complete, the brown support structural supports will be removed and the futuristic look will really come to life. 

I just reported a couple of weeks ago that the grand opening for this new attraction was going to be delayed until after 2021. According to USA Today, when they spoke with Disney, Disney claimed that TRON will not debut in time for the anniversary this fall like we all hoped.

This new ride is a replica of the Tron coaster in Disneyland Paris. Guests will race under the Conduit on their Lightcycles on the computerized Grid of Life in both indoor and outdoor track segments. The two-wheeled Lightcycles are similar to the ride vehicles on the Avatar: Flight of Passage ride in Animal Kingdom, but these “bikes” will launch riders close to 60mph, the fastest roller coaster in Disney Parks history!
