The canopy will curve downwards and then up to the show building. Only this last section of canopy remains to be installed.

After the canopy is installed, the temporary supports will be removed. Though it’s unclear how much construction will continue after that.

Once complete, the illuminated canopy will be a much more pleasant sight for Tomorrowland visitors than the current construction.

Though TRON Lightcycle / Run will not be opening in time for Magic Kingdom’s 50th anniversary this year, it looks like we will at least have something nicer to look at by the time 2021 is done. Below is what the final canopy will look like along with the rest of Tomorrowland.
