CONSTRUCTION UPDATE: Railroad Tracks and Decorative Features Added at TRON Coaster
Our MickeyBloggers were at the Magic Kingdom this morning where it is a bustle of activity at the TRON Coaster construction site and we’re seeing some pretty exciting changes.
First off, Blue structures have been added to the outdoor canopy.
We suspect that these are decorative or possibly lighting but you can see that 8 elements have been added to the canopy in total (four on each side.)
Details are also going up over the doorway to the attraction.
It seems like now we’re at the stage where lots of cosmetic touches are being made.
In addition, work continues on the Walt Disney World Railroad track.
The railroad had to be shut down and the track torn up because it overlapped with the location of the TRON Coaster.
As you can see, the track is nearing completion.
The tunnel is also now illuminated.
If you’ve been following along with us here at MickeyBlog, you’ll know that Disney has recently been testing the Railroad.
As you can see from the image above they were also testing the lightcycles during our visit today. You can see the black ride vehicles on the track just above the tunnel
Concrete dividers are also being added to the grounds.
This provides a barrier between the Walt Disney World Railroad, Tomorrowland Speedway and the TRON Coaster.
You can see that railroad tracks above going alongside TRON Coaster and Space Mountain with the PeopleMover above.
Large, wavy concrete slabs have also been added to the outdoor area near the coaster.
Disney is saying that the coaster should be ready to open in Early 2023.
This is a story that we will continue to follow closely here at MickeyBlog.
