The upcoming Tron roller coaster at Magic Kingdom (or as it’s known in Shanghai, “Tron Lightcycle Power Run”) is a massive undertaking that won’t be finished until 2021 at the earliest. Looking at the size of the construction site, you can see why it takes so long. Let’s see what’s developed since our last update.

The new attraction will sit right next to Space Mountain, just to the north. Once it’s finished, the two buildings together will look quite a bit like a futuristic city skyline.

You can see a bit of the site from the monorail, but it goes by pretty quickly.

The best overall view (with a zoom lens, of course), is from the roof of the Contemporary Resort. You can see that they’ve outlined even more of the foundation. They have steel installed in the southern half, but no concrete yet.

From the ground, we can get an up-close, if incomplete view of the project.

They have a crane set up for with an attachment that looks like a drill bit. I’d assume that’s for installing deep pylons into the ground.

There will need to be many, many supports for the buildings and the walkways associated with it. Remember, the WDW Railroad still has to cut a path through this area, as well.

Here you can see that other half of the foundation a bit closer. It looks like a sea of steel wires at this point.

If you want to see what the final product will look like, here’s our video overview of the attraction as it currently is in Shanghai Disney.
