Tron Construction at Magic Kingdom begins to show signs of the canopy underway.

The enormous construction site stretches from Space Mountain all the way to Goofy's Barnstormer, so it's hard to miss. This is a coaster that will travel in and out of a large show building. It will also make a large circle outside the show building under a large open-air illuminated canopy. Today, we noticed some of the first structural signs of that canopy.

The large, rust-colored pillars will serve as supports for the large undulated roof of TRON Lightcycle Run while it's being constructed. Once finalized, we'll see these come back down to reveal a clear, futuristic facade.

The final track piece has been installed for the Tron Lightcycle Run roller coaster at Magic Kingdom! The final piece connected the exterior loop to the show building and marked a fully completed track less than 5 months after the first track piece was installed.

Tron Construction from 8th September

Check our this update for the new Tron Coaster coming to Walt Disney World in 2021. This video gives an extra view of the construction site since Disney had to remove the screening on the fence because of Hurricane Dorian winds.

Located on the back half of the construction site is a single power ring (so far) that the coaster track passes through. These power rings are located throughout the ride, and this particular one is located in the first half of the interior portion of the ride. As you can see, the power ring has been mounted to the frame of the supporting steel structure. This is just the first of many to be installed in the coming weeks and months.
