Walt Disney World Railroad Testing Happening at Fantasyland Station Today
Our MickeyBlogger was at the Magic Kingdom today and while at Storybook Circus we noticed that the Walt Disney World Railroad was undergoing a test run!
If you’ve been following along with MickeyBlog then you’ll know that the Walt Disney World Railroad has been closed for over a year now while construction is underway on the TRON Coaster in Tomorrowland.
The track of the railroad has to be pulled as it overlapped the TRON construction site.
If you’ve seen our TRON construction photos you may have seen our images of the tunnel that has been built into the TRON coaster to accommodate the railroad.
It has previously been announced that the TRON coaster will open in Early 2023.
We expect the Walt Disney World Railroad will also open around the same time.
It’s not the easiest to see from these images but one of the railroad trains is being tested just beyond these trees.
Disney has previously announced that they had been hiring and training new engineers and conductors.
The Walt Disney World Railroad is a classic attraction that travels around the periphery of Magic Kingdom .
There are three railroad stations in the theme park at Main Street USA, Frontierland and Fantasyland (Storybook Circus.)
Though its hard to see the train testing behind the greenery, we did capture a few videos.
In the videos you can here the famous clickity click of the tracks!
We cannot wait for the railroad to open and this is a story that we’ll be following closely. Readers are encouraged to keep following along with MickeyBlog for further Walt Disney World news and updates. We’ll be coming to you LIVE! from the theme parks each and every week.
