We caught another piece of TRON Lightcycle / Run’s illuminated canopy being installed at its Magic Kingdom location today.

Workers were standing by to help position the canopy as it was lowered in via crane.

From another angle, we can see how the canopy curves over the track.

There is still plenty of canopy to be completed though.

The reddish-brown supports are temporary while the canopy is installed.

As it stands, the illuminated canopy is all that is rumored to be completed before the project stalls for the new year. Initially planned to open in 2021 for the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World, TRON Lightcycle / Run may not open in time due to budgetary and staffing constraints.
