News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[TrainsOfDisney]

I'm of the opinion it will ABSOLUTELY be the case. Disney has to understand the importance of the WDWRR. So I'm sure it's a priority. 3 months to go!

I’m going to guess we will get a live steam train “arriving” at Main Street with characters on October 1.

They can do a short back up move and pull into the station a few times. Could do the same thing at fantasyland too. October 1 is going to be busy and they will want to have special stuff like that happening and it would be super easy to do.

There's no clear IP tie-in that'll have elementary school children screaming for merch. I don't think it's a priority.

MMRR? Mickey Mouse Rail Road?

Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway......they're building another one!

From yesterday:

I still think the railway will go under all of this in a tunnel. I don't see a spot for the tracks in the photos.

If it was going to be a true, underground tunnel, they would have built it by now. So it's either just going to be exposed track, or track with a covering put overtop.

I was thinking that it was already built when they were doing the groundwork prep for this attraction. But I guess not. Hopefully it will at least be covered above ground.

Looks like the track will go here:

Ahhhh. Now I see.

They should do themed lighting, like Atlanta's airport.

I hope they plan to move that porta-john before they lay the tracks.

I hope they plan to move that porta-john before they lay the tracks.

They should leave it. It’ll add to the scenery once Tron is complete.

The hole in the center is to let the exhaust and steam out....

Part of the new upgrade to prevent guests from taking pics of backstage areas.

Naw, they left the hole

They left the hole.....

No steambath, they left the hole

In the canopy in your diagram of the pathway

The "hole" you're talking about is not a hole. It is exactly the same in Shanghai, where the "hole" (not a hole) is also present.

so this is what the train route should look like from above when done I think

There’s two concrete columns right where your line is that look too close together. I have no idea how they plan on doing it but I trust they’ve got something planned.

A quick, low quality, picture I took from the People Mover yesterday!

 

[JoeCamel]

Are they going to wait til after hurricane season to start sticking panels in? I'm surprised they are putting up all the netting before moving on. It will make it hard to do anything to the grid using lifts from below

Nice it gives a better idea of how the train will go

I'm still confused how they plan to widen the walkway here, will they hollow out Tomorrowland Light & Power?
