Work Continues on Tron Coaster Canopies
MickeyBlog is coming to you LIVE from Magic Kingdom where we popped by Tomorrowland to see how construction is coming along on the TRON coaster.
One of our favorite places to get a view of the construction site is from atop the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover.
We have to say that we think the coaster is looking more magnificent every time we visit.
Construction teams seem to be focusing on the open air canopies just now.
As we also reported last week, engineers are already testing the ride vehicles for the attraction.
Though we didn’t mention to catch the ride carriages in action this visit, we did see teams hard at work on the exterior of the coaster.
Themed after the TRON films and drawing inspiration from the TRON coaster at Shanghai Disney, there are both indoor an outdoor elements to the coaster.
These big outdoor canopies will be light to give riders the feeling that you are soaring through cyberspace.
As of going to print, Disney Walt Disney World has yet to announce the official opening date for this attraction.
With TRON continuing to take shape, we suspect that it won’t be long before an announcement is made.
We promise to keep you posted.
In the meantime we’ll leave you with a few additional images of the construction site.
Here are some closer images of the teams hard at work laying down the white tarps that will make up part of the canopies.
As you can see the workers are actually anchored to the steel beams when working out on the canopies.
Its such an important reminder at how hard team members work to bring these incredible attractions our way.
