Walt Disney World Railroad Tunnel Expands Beneath TRON Lightcycle Run at Magic Kingdom

The Walter E. Disney locomotive has been testing new track of the Walt Disney World Railroad at Magic Kingdom, but the attraction is not yet able to open due to the construction of TRON Lightcycle / Run. However, the tunnel for the train beneath the new coaster is coming together.

On the Tomorrowland side of the coaster, the walls leading out from under the canopy are now fully shaped and encased in concrete.

A curved wall juts out from the tunnel. The tunnel walls have some square cutouts where extractor fans will be installed.

Crew members were working inside the tunnel, which doesn’t have track yet.
