VIDEO: Testing of TRON Coaster Underway This Morning
It is a bustle of activity over at Tomorrowland in the Magic Kingdom this morning. Testing of the ride vehicles at the TRON Coaster is currently underway and we managed to capture some video of the trial runs!
As you can see from this awesome footage taken on the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover by Greg, workers are standing on the walkway just underneath the canopy as the lightcycles glide along overhead.
The video above gives us a closer look at the incredible canopy structure for the coaster which is now complete and dominates the Tomorrowland skyline.
Just beyond the PeopleMover track, you can see testing continue.
As we previously reported here at MickeyBlog work on the main buildings and the canopies seem close to completion.
However, as you can see it is still very much an active construction site with work being done to the queuing area and grounds around the attraction.
Concrete is being poured to outlying areas around the attraction.
Exterior walls around the attraction are now in place. This will serve as a barrier between the TRON Coaster and Tomorrowland Speedway.
You can see the entrances and exits for the attractions starting to take shape.
Bulldozers were working on digging up an area near the attraction.
To the right you can see the tunnel that will be part of the new Walt Disney World Railroad track.
The canopies of the attraction will be illuminated.
We’ve yet to see the attraction lit up but we can’t wait!
It is supposed to give guests that feeling that you are soaring through cyberspace!
The image above shows the close proximity of the Tomorrowland Speedway to the TRON attraction.
Disney has yet to announce an official opening date for the attraction.
However, we’re following news closely and promise to let you know as soon as further details are revealed.
The incredible transformation makes us excited about the possibility of an opening date being revealed soon.
