It’s FINALLY time!
Train!
The Walt Disney World Railroad is reopening after being closed since 2018. The train got a bit of a makeover, including a new narration and a new route that just so happens to go under Magic Kingdom’s newest attraction — TRON Lightcycle Run. We got the chance to climb aboard the train, and now we’re showing you what it’s like to go through the TRON tunnel on the train in Magic Kingdom.
We climbed aboard the train and couldn’t wait to see what was new!
Looking sharp!
The first thing we noticed was how close the train is to the TRON structure. Even if you aren’t riding TRON, you can still get an pretty good view from your train car.
Look how close you’ll get! #TRON #mediaevent pic.twitter.com/ey0kGZDAK0

But then, it was finally time for the main event — heading over to go through the TRON tunnel! Up until now, we’ve only been able to get a peek at this tunnel from the PeopleMover and from over by the Barnstormer. But this time around, we got to go through it. Through the tunnel we go…
Inside TRON!
…and out the other side! There wasn’t a whole lot to see inside the tunnel, but there were a couple of windows through which you can spot parts of the TRON coaster.

We could see a few details at TRON, like the interior of the track system, the overhead cover, and even some pretty flowers underneath.

We even got an up-close-and-personal look at some car testing.

We’re so thrilled that the Walt Disney World Railroad is open again, and we’re even more excited to get a new look at TRON. Disney shared the coaster will be opening in spring 2023, but we’ll let you know when we get an official opening date.

We do this because it’s important to us as journalists to ensure not only that we give you unbiased opinions, but also that you can trust us to do so since we’re paying our own way. On rare occasions, when we are invited by a company to attend a preview as media, and when we choose to accept that invitation, we will always make you, our readers, aware of that situation. Today, we were invited by Disney World to attend their media preview of the Walt Disney World Railroad reopening. Note that when we attend events as media we are 1) Not required to review that event/food on any of our channels, and 2) Not required to review that event/food favorably. You can always count on DFB to give you a 100% unbiased and honest review of any event that we attend, food that we eat, or beverage that we drink. You can see more in our Disclosure Policy.
