Since interior construction resumed on TRON Lightcycle / Run in Magic Kingdom, there has been major progress on the exterior of the attraction as well.
TRON Lightcycle / Run was originally scheduled to open in time for Magic Kingdom’s 50th anniversary on October 1, but was significantly delayed due to COVID-19.
Most of the canopy framework is now covered in blue netting that crew members can actually stand on when installing lights and, eventually, the canopy itself.
The blue netting is temporary.
The show building was recently reopened at the spot where the coaster enters “The Grid.”
Tarp hangs around the entrance, and we can see scaffolding inside.
The service entrance to the building was closed this morning, but a tent has been set up outside.
The coaster will launch from below, loop through the canopy, then rocket back into the building.
Some crew members were working on the canopy today.
One crew member was standing on the blue netting (with additional safety equipment, of course).
The show building has been covered in grey paneling for a while, but this section near the bottom of the building has yet to be completed.

I am not sure the blue is temporary, check out the Wikipedia page for the Shanghai coaster, the blue netting is visible.
The on ly netting we saw was under the track, not on the canopy
