Disney Blocks Views of TRON Construction from Storybook Circus
If you’ve been following along with us here at MickeyBlog you’ll know that we’ve been trying to update our readers regularly with photos of the construction of Magic Kingdom’s TRON Coaster. Two of our favorite vantage points have been atop the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover as well as from The Barnstormer in Storybook Circus.
However, to our surprise the Storybook Circus section has now been completely blocked off!
Disney has moved the infamous green shrubs alongside The Barnstormer queue.
This effectively blocks the area of Walt Disney World Railroad tracks that lead from Fantasyland Station in Storybook Circus to Tomorrowland.
With that in mind, we suspect the introduction of the shrub wall has more to do with the laying of the new tracks for the Railroad than it does the actual TRON construction itself.
For those unfamiliar, the TRON construction site overlapped with the existing Walt Disney World Railroad tracks meaning that the attraction needed to be shut down during construction. A tunnel has also been built beneath the TRON coaster to accommodate the railroad tracks.
We can confirm that Disney World has already started work on replenishing the tracks for the eventual return of the Walt Disney World Railroad.
For those visiting the area, you can see that the front of Fantasyland Station has been blocked off as well.
It would seem that Disney plans on doing some routine maintenance to the stations themselves.
Readers are encouraged to keep following along with MickeyBlog for further Walt Disney World news and updates!
