I’m still hearing it will reopen within the next week or so. And definitely in 2022.

Yep. The specific date is still sightly fluid.

Great! This also helps with Disney's inclusivity key.

Happy to hear the trains again!!

Anyone want to ask, if the new conductor might have the voice of the "mayor" of main street who was let go durning the pandemic and none of the equity main street cast has come back yet? If there going to hype up this new narration by a person who grew up on main street and actually reference a "mayor" like figure.. I mean, fair game to ask?

 

[CaptainAmerica]

Oh no.

"A new conductor has assumed the role, carrying on the long tradition of warm welcomes and amusing anecdotes while adding fresh commentary and story to the journey."

They Updated for Modern Audiences.

All aboard, friends…

Sure am going to miss the old conductor. From the bits of the new audio that I’ve heard, the new guys voice doesn’t fit quite as well.

I mean, as the park changes, shouldn’t the spiel?

We'll see.

I mean, I can’t say that is 100% NOT an entrance to the Upside Down…

Please tell me it won't open with this. Also, do we need to start a Wheelbarrow thread now?

Those folks who paid big bucks to stay at WDW for Christmas will be teased having to only WATCH the WDW RR creep around the track and not be able to ride it.

I guess these same folks will need to return to WDW for spring break 2023 to actually ride it.

Disney wins again.

I think the wheelbarrow adds historical context next to the old train. We are immediately transported back to the Old Grid of the 19th century, where robots were busy digitally programming new tracks through The Grid.

The mud adds a realistic grit that only Disney can create. I wonder if they contracted Rohde to return to theme that mud. It’s stunning. We should be celebrating the arrival of this new show scene. It’s the spiritual successor to Primeval World.

The NEW Conductor: "As we pull into the tunnel, be sure to notice our new construction-themed attraction, TRON: Lightcycle Run!"

I say we leave it exactly as is as a tribute and open both TRON and the WDW RR now!

I just really hope they added a backstory to the train.

It's not mud. It's concrete shaped and colored to look like mud.

We were there for nearly 2 weeks and it was running a lot, our 3 year old kept saying she wanted to go on.
