News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[Mac Tonight]

Ooooo yeah, those are some nice tracks you're laying down Disney. Go a little to the left a bit. Oh yeah... right there. That's good. Do it a little faster. YES, YES.... YESSSS, OHHHH DON'T STOP. You know where to put that track. Yes you do.

Dude, you need to learn subtlety with this type of humor on a family board.

Hope I'm doing this right with the link. Track is being installed pretty fast!

It’s not being installed all that fast. Steel coasters are a kit of parts and they routinely go up in a matter of months.

Yeah, it's not fast in regards to coaster construction.

People have been staring at a mound of dirt with a bunch of holes in it for months now (me included, on the edge of my seat for construction) and seeing recognizable shapes fly over the horizon at a much more visible construction pace is very, very satisfying.

It is very nice to see this happen at this pace after it being just a pile of dirt for a year.

Sure there are effects in the show building but we're still 2 years away from an opening. They really know how to drag out coaster construction.

Got some updated pics of Tron today from TTA if anyone is interested.

 

[GlacierGlacier]

Great photos

Looks like one of the first mid-course break runs are installed

Edit: removed the complaint about not being in the Tron thread because this was merged into the Tron thread. Thank you for your work, admins

They definitely do, although the last year has overlapped with a lot of the facility design. It just seems like every project easy, visible work gets people all excited by the fast pace when it’s nothing special.

This is the Tron Thread.....

It is now. The extra thread was merged into this one by administration.

Deleting my post now.

Whoops, I had no idea people felt this way about construction.

Keep it in your tool belt, dude.

They do this part quickly, especially with the awful heat and rain of Orlando. The quicker the show building goes up, the more pristine the steel.

New photos from forbidden site..
The high bank turn in upper left of the photos is new from the last photo update posted here. (I added the arrow indicating it)

I am loving seeing a coaster go up in WDW. Even if it's a short coaster, it's a relatively rare sight.

 

[Movielover]

Even if it's a short coaster,

Would it still seem short if I told you that the track length is about the same as Space Mountain and longer than Big Thunder Mountain?

Short ride would be a more apt description.

 

[Movielover]

Short ride would be a more apt description.

Oh no doubt. Any length of track would feel short with the speed and pace of Tron. I just find interesting that the track length is longer than some of the other "long" coasters.

How long before steel rises on the show building to conceal it all?
