Looking like this could open before Christmas.

Pathway or Tron?

I assume he means the choo choo.

Oh, I forgot about that......

Yes, the train. And you’d be forgiven.

Mystery platform seems to be backstage RR crossing.

What are those metal pipes in the middle of the tracks!?

I believe the block signal wiring, but just a guess.

maybe an emergency egress, or if the ride breaks down and guests have to be evacuated?

There has to be a way for employees to get to the back of house of TRON and Space Mountain without having to go through the rides' queues to get past the train tracks. Over by Frontierland, they have a similar crossover of the tracks.

Do you know if there will be any kind of soft opening/previews? Or will it just have one complete opening day?

 

[Rambozo]

I wish they would just get rid of the Speedway. But Disney is so cheap they would probably just leave a dirt pile there for 6 years. Afterall we're still waiting for the Stitch replacement.

I would imagine it will just open. There’s nothing new.

It’s taking so long the should really have a golden spike ceremony with a special pin they can sell.
Nah, that makes too much sense therefore they won’t do it.

Disney spends so much money to do things right and then does something like that. It’s baffling.

Not only does it look bad…. It’s also an issue when they need to replace ties and sections of rail.

This is nothing new. Tracks have always been like that.

No, they haven’t. A simple image search on Google will show you otherwise.

I did, went through my own pictures too. Only further proved what I said.
