So...anyone see the post from that website?

Apparently construction is resuming...seems correct but since the source isn’t reliable. Insiders?

Even if there's not a 100% reliable source right now, I can see it happening and wouldn't be surprised if they are. With the amount happening now with everything starting to open up like Disney Springs, City Walk, I don't see why Disney wouldn't continue on with construction at this point.

Another great shot with some perspective - I wish I had the skills to draw the profile of the canopy from the air to show potential sightlines.

Not perfect since I’m only on the iPad at the mo but you get the idea

Will they do anything between the tron gravity building and space mountain like a berm, or very, very high trees?

No berm in the site plans.

Don't think current leadership at Disney cares about the sightline outside the park.

Inside the park, you can put trees close enough to where guests can be by Storybook such that the closeness of the trees to hide the box.

best guess when this opens?

Before October 2021.

It does. Which was a huge consideration why it didn’t get the clone.

Honestly, before this was announced, I thought TT 2.0 would’ve prevented any sort of Tron ride from coming to WDW in any capacity since it has such a similar aesthetic. That being said, I come see why cloning the coaster is not completely redundant and am looking forward to the many potential benefits it’s presence can bring to Tomorrowland as a whole.

Not going to lie, this looks awesome.

This just looks outstanding. I can just imagine the crowds in that area once the Tron Coaster is open since it is close to Space Mountain.

Before October 2021.

But if I understand Shanghai’s exclusivity correctly, after June 16th.

They based construction resuming on deliveries happening? LOL

Deliveries, few and far between, have been happening for weeks. Just another clickbait article

I have never seen the Tron movies but I do like coasters and this one looks like it could be good. Can't wait for it to open.

Now that our Dec 2020 trip is likely postponed to Dec 2021, looks like I will get to ride TRON! Whoop!

Has Space Mountain been repainted, looks incredibly white?

I took Martin's sketch and 'enhanced' the look a bit... so, maybe something like this?

The canopy does not wrap the building. It sits in front of the west side.

I think that's what his picture shows? Certainly on that picture the canopy he's drawn just covers the outside curve portion of the track rather than the building?

Just good to see construction has restarted!
