More Canopy Installed, Tarps Cover Entrance at TRON Lightcycle Run in Magic Kingdom

At the future site of TRON Lightcycle / Run at the Magic Kingdom, we spotted more canopy installed on the roof framework.

This new strip is below the one we saw last week.

Several straps extend from the top of the framework over the canopy pieces, possibly helping to secure them before the crew installs more pieces.

Some orange cones are still along the edge of the framework.

Almost the entire edge of the canopy on the Tomorrowland side has white paneling and some of the interior edges do as well.

Several large sections of the canopy were installed on this side earlier this month.

The lone wall we noticed a few days ago remains on the ground near the sidewalk leading to the coaster.

This is likely the start of the tunnel for the Walt Disney World Railroad. Accordingly, a trench now surrounds around it and more construction materials sit nearby.

Back near the Tomorrowland Speedway, we noticed a significant amount of dirt had been removed from the ground at the edge of the coaster.

Temporary orange net fencing surrounds the shallow hole.

  1. For perspective, Universal completed an entire theme park in the time span that people have been waiting for TRON to be completed. Velocicoaster was completed in one year during covid. Disney lack of priorities and incompetency has led to this. They put all their eggs in the fake Star Wars cruise basket.
