For funzies

Bah, where are the train tracks? Where is the right of way for the MKRR? Walk way! Meh.

Pretty sure they were actually stepping onto it at points when they installed the track system to hold the canopy. Additionally, I imagine it may help prevent the canopy panels from dropping through the frame whenever they get around to installing them.

To keep the alligators out.

Little construction update on the "mystery" building constructed next to the canopy.

Is it for a TRON exhibit experience like in Shanghai but this time sponsored by Enterprise Car Rentals, would be weird but then again it gets their logo within the park?

 

[jaxonp]

Bathrooms?

 

[DisneyDreamerxyz]

Hopefully it's a gift shop/Tron themed arcade called FLYNN'S like the movies.

Magic Kingdom Railroad is what I believe the poster means. Which is as most people know of as the Walt Disney World Railroad

They're so upset that its shut down, but don't know the name of it. And yes, that was my point.

 

[TrippedUp]

I'm confused why anyone thinks they would/should allow the train through a hard hat area? It definitely can't come back until release to operations.

I would like it to be a combo Flynns arcade/End of Line rooftop bar.

They just did it with the monorail…

I assume you mean Epcot? The monorail is above the area of construction and the cars are completely enclosed, thus no real risk to the riders. The trains are open to the environment and would run right through the construction with areas of danger to both sides and above the train.

The Polynesian Village station was completely demolished and rebuilt, including overhead work, while both the Express and Resort monorail loops remained operational. The monorail bodies are not so strong that they would really protect against something like a falling steel beam.

I know when they built the GF DVC the monorail service was disrupted for quite a while. Was it the same at Poly?
