The big change from our last update is that the supports have gone vertical. These columns will likely support the coaster track that will take guests through the Game Grid when the coaster opens in 2021, in time for Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary.

The massive cranes are still on site, which means there’s plenty of work still to be done before the coaster boots up in Tomorrowland.

Because of the nature of the project, it’s likely that the coaster track will be installed before the building that will house it is completed.
