News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[JoeCamel]

Can someone more intelligent than I tell me if this means they are at a certain point or milestone in construction? This makes me feel like they are farther along with the coaster itself than I originally thought.

The coaster structure is done, they have run pull throughs and can run cars on the track once the sensors and brakes are done. Those may be done as well. No matter how far along they are it won't open until they think they can generate the most draw. Next year is what they said and what it will be.
The cars can be stored until needed or they might load them into the maintenance bay and keep them there. They are on skids so a machine can move them.

Uh...here's a belated TRON construction update from the Swiss Family Treehouse.

At least the show building is mostly hidden from this angle.

Bah, where are the train tracks? Where is the right of way for the MKRR? Walk way! Meh.

Pretty sure they were actually stepping onto it at points when they installed the track system to hold the canopy. Additionally, I imagine it may help prevent the canopy panels from dropping through the frame whenever they get around to installing them.

To keep the alligators out.

Little construction update on the "mystery" building constructed next to the canopy.

Is it for a TRON exhibit experience like in Shanghai but this time sponsored by Enterprise Car Rentals, would be weird but then again it gets their logo within the park?

 

[jaxonp]

Bathrooms?

 

[DisneyDreamerxyz]

Hopefully it's a gift shop/Tron themed arcade called FLYNN'S like the movies.

 

[Kamikaze]

The what now?

 

[cranbiz]

The what now?

Magic Kingdom Railroad is what I believe the poster means. Which is as most people know of as the Walt Disney World Railroad
