Yep, here at MickeyBlog we’ve been counting down the days to this date for what feels like forever, through all the construction, hype, previews, soft openings, merch releases, sneak peeks, etc….
Honestly, we’re so excited that today has finally arrived!
However, as excited and anticipating as us fans have been, it must be nothing compared to all the Imagineers and Cast Members who have been working tirelessly to bring this epic coaster attraction to life, and ready it for all the eager guests to enjoy at the Magic Kingdom.
If we’re buzzing today, this incredible team must be beside themselves!
So, in commemoration of this very-special opening day, Disney held a photoshoot over in Tomorrowland, and the results are really spectacular. Take a look…
This first photo above shows the official “ribbon cutting” ceremony, with a line of Cast Members holding the coolest blue banner that features the lightcycle vehicles at either end.
Plus, to make this moment even more iconic, the team aren’t using a pair of oversized scissors to cut this ribbon. No no, they do things differently “on the grid,” so have grabbed an actual Identity Disc to do the honors!
The second image released from the early-morning ceremony is arguably even more special. As you can see above, the shot encompasses the entire TRON team, all stood in front of the breath-taking balcony of the attraction itself. Mickey and Minnie of course came out to join them, along with VIPs including Magic Kingdom Vice President Melissa Valiquette.
It’s certainly a photo for the history books, and we love how excited all the cast look for the attraction to finally open to guests!
If you’re heading down to the Magic Kingdom today, we hope you have a fantastic time celebrating all things TRON Lightcycle / Run.
If you’re not in the parks today, however, make sure to stay tuned to MickeyBlog.com, as we provide live coverage of everything going on in Tomorrowland for the opening, including all the merchandise, activities, and more!
