Looks like some rail work is beginning over by Space Mountain.



Here's how it looked a few days ago -

The new Magic Kingdom adventure train ride stunt spectacular!

Alright, I'm on board with this. Disney make it happen.

I heard MK may have the WDWRR back by its 51st birthday…hope it’s true!

US average gasoline price was $2.45 a gallon the day the WDW RR closed. Today its $4.32
US average Milk price was $2.45 a gallon on the day the WDW RR closed. Today its $4.03

So you are saying they should be charging $240 to enter the park?

I was making fun at how long the WDW RR was closed, but who knows, by the time the RR and TRON are finished, entry to the park may be up to $240…

All things considered, those increases aren’t that bad

Look at it this way. Inflation is finally catching up with Disney ticket prices.

Well, yes. Basically everything on the site is barebones concrete at the moment. But given the height of the retaining wall and storm drain to the left of the tunnel entrance, I doubt you’ll end up seeing much of the tunnel when finished.

I kind of meant from the perspective of the people riding the train. It's not going to be an exciting event.

Oh, gotcha. Not exactly unique since you already go through an essentially featureless tunnel in Adventureland. At least this one seems to have plans for some views given the window cutouts.

Those are for the screeennnnnzzzzzz!
Seriously I wonder if they will connect a venting system with louvers over the openings

Unless they add projections in the tunnel to make the train enter.."the grid"

Window cutouts? I didn't see that. The ones I saw or the existing ones as the train passes between space mountain and the starcade.
