News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[MisterPenguin]

Photo update as of Thursday, August 8, 2019. At the redesigned railroad embankment, the retaining walls have been painted and large items of landscaping are being installed. This work began as part of the enlargement of the retention pond when the Tron roller coaster was started. I don't think there is another place to post this, and I have posted progress on this area in this thread before.
The railroad track is along the orange fencing near the tree line.

Are the dinosaur dioramas going to be peeking around those trees?

Only a section of it. The rest is in an enclosed building.

EDIT: I'm not sure the canopy is inflated? (It may just look that way.)

It’s not inflated. It’s bubble style glass/plexiglass panels or something similar.

"Secret D23 Project" confirmed! Haha

Only a short section is under the canopy. The canopy is not inflated.

They wanted it to be, but they hired Tom Brady, so...

Plan B.

It's crazy as to where time went...soon our views of the track will be obstructed soon by the impending (unthemed) showbuilding!!
Really hope they somehow wrap the canopy completely around, ugh. Also rip big tree, hopefully they plant some new ones later on.

That big tree sure would've helped obscure the building a bit from that angle...

I wonder if we are going to get another green/blue box?

Blue box behind the canopy probs

I believe it was torn down to allow construction equipment/vehicles to go through from Speedway.
But hopefully they replant some trees eventually!!

Legend has it there is a blue box. Very few people have ever seen it in Shanghai because it’s not clearly visible from any guest areas inside or outside of the park. However, I’ve enlisted the help of a secret spy to capture these certainly backstage photos!

TRON Reality:

1. The ride is a beautifully art directed E ticket coaster that will deliver big time, while driving weight loss for many visitors.

2. Tomorowland is a visual disaster. With the lame new color scheme and partial rejection of Sci-fi update, the land looks more and more like an abandoned shopping center from a Brazilian Science Fair of 1972.

3. Space Mountain will now seem like a broken heap of track - desperately in need of a complete replacement of track and rockets.

4. Autopia will spoil the TRON exterior and add greatly to the visual and audible chaos.

"Speedway" is supposed to be overlaid with TRON Racers if the budget isn't cut with hopefully electric vehicles.
