Based on news stories I could find, cast transfer applications began in the January 10-15 range.

Got it. Previews could begin in the late-February and March interval, I’d imagine.

Appears Disney has begun looking for Cast Members for the TRON opening team -

Well that's just flat out confusing.

Partially because I'm in the disgruntled it's not opening in 2022 crowd.

I mean, even if it were following the same opening timeline as Cosmic Rewind, transfers were requested around 4.5 months in advance of the attraction fully opening, meaning you'd be looking at 2022 regardless. Just maybe earlier in 2022 than "spring", whatever that means to them this time around.

Do the both of you actually mean 2023?

It's taking so long because they're making the ride longer by adding more breaking areas to the track.

Do the both of you actually mean 2023?

no, I'm disgruntled it's not opening in 2022.

I‘ve gone from unsure to excited to bored about this project.

Is the sign for Tron:Lightcycle/run at the Magic Kingdom let?

 

[G00fyDad]

Is the Tron:Lightcycle/run at the Magic Kingdom let?

No. It will open Spring 2023.

 

[JEANYLASER]

No. It will open Spring 2023.

I meant to say is the sign for the Tron: Lightcycle Run at the Magic Kingdom let?

Try Disneyland. Or Paris. Or Hong Kong. Or Tokyo. Or Universal….

We are.

I’m 26 days from Disneyland. And London, Paris, and Disneyland Paris next June. I’ll be in touch.

You say that until you realize it removes the only fun part of the ride: crashing into your brother’s car right in front of you.

Looks like that expansive (and expensive!) canopy will get its first real test with this week's expected wind and rain event. I hope they don't have to regrade all that exposed dirt between the concrete path sections already poured!
