So is it still true that they will just complete the canopy and halt construction in the meantime? I would assume after the canopy, test runs will ensue.

I would assume they need to install show elements inside the show building and figure out the spacing before they start test runs. Once the canopy is complete, push and pull should be able to start, but actual test runs of the attraction won’t come until much later. Besides, if the rumors about the delays are correct, I doubt they’ll even have any people on site at all for a while.

They could have finished it this year, but they want to say it's for the anniversary.
I missed that update... link?

GAHH!!!!!!!!
I'm excited.
If they were to work continuously though Oct yes, but we suspect things are going to come to a halt end of this year for a number of months.

My question is if they will take the tower crane down during the hiatus? I believe WDW owns that one.

Construction continues on the large steel canopy at the front of the attraction.

The commentary mentions an orignally intended spring 2021 date.

Yes. And, according to insiders, pushed back to 2022.I think the reference was to wdwmagic's update:

But Disney could always reverse that decision... unless they truly are leaving the interior of the ride unbuilt for a lengthy amount of time, then, in that case, it will be 2022 since they wouldn't be able to complete it in time for 2021.

What is the blue barn that's between TRON and the Barnstormer? How long has it been there? Just wondered if it was a temporary building for construction or if it was something I hadn't noticed before.Some incredible TRON aerials from @photoflight
