Yesterday, we saw installation finally begin on the canopy roof above TRON Lightcycle / Run at Magic Kingdom. We visited the coaster today to see if there have been any changes.

Tarps are draped over the entrance to the show building, where a smaller canopy framework has been erected.

The pieces installed so far are staggered across the top of the canopy.

They’re wrapped in plastic to keep them protected. At least eight have been installed so far, and we saw crew members working on them this morning.
