Construction on TRON Lightcycle / Run continues at the Magic Kingdom despite uncertainty over whether the attraction will open in time for the Magic Kingdom’s 50th Anniversary Celebration in 2021. It’s unclear what, if any, progress is being made inside of the show building. However, work continues on the external illuminated canopy at a slow and steady pace.
