PHOTOS: Canopy Continues to Grow at TRON Lightcycle Run in the Magic Kingdom

As the months race by, TRON Lightcycle / Run continues to inch towards the finish line at the Magic Kingdom. Let’s take a look at what’s new!

Since our last visit, another canopy piece was installed directly under the one we saw on Monday.

The process seems to be focused on one “strip” at a time, and will presumably reach the bottom of the section in the coming days.

Things seemed slightly quieter around the entrance canopy frame, which saw a lot of work focused on it last month.

The next day, we saw another canopy strip being installed. A crew member in a cherry picker was also working on the framework near the entrance.

There are now three strips of the canopy in a row, with one blank space before the canopy at the edge of the framework.

There were several crew members attached to the frame with safety harnesses as they secured the new canopy piece.

Meanwhile, the walkway underneath seems like it’s coming along quickly. At the rate things are progressing, it could open before the attraction, provided the exterior construction finishes soon.

Workers could be seen in a cherry picker attending to the canopy’s support beams.

From the queue of The Barnstormer, we can get a closer look at the mystery building near the attraction.
