food IS a theme park
We’ve been waiting for the Walt Disney World Railroad to reopen since 2018 — and it’s finally happening!
It’s the train!
The train has been out of commission while Disney works on building TRON Lightcycle Run (a new roller coaster in Tomorrowland), but that’s all changed now. We got the chance to ride the train and check out all the new details. And, we got a CLOSE-UP look at TRON from the train! Come see it with us!
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.
Get your lightcycles ready! Tron Lightcycle Run is opening in Magic Kingdom on April 4, 2023.Â
TRON Lightcycle Run
Now, Disney has released some new information as we get closer to the opening date!
We’re getting closer and closer to the opening of the TRON roller coaster in Magic Kingdom!
TRON Lightcycle Run sign
Back in 2017, Disney announced plans to open TRON Lightcycle Run in Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland, and its opening was subsequently delayed from 2021 to Spring 2023. Our favorite way to keep an eye on construction progress is to take a ride on the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover and on a recent ride, we noticed a BIG development!
Now that we know when the TRON roller coaster is expected to open in Magic Kingdom, we’re even more excited about this future thrill ride!
TRON Lightcycle Run
TRON Lightcycle Run has been in progress since 2017 when it was announced at the D23 Expo, and it was originally supposed to open back in 2021 for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration. Instead, TRON’s opening was delayed after Disney World closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and we’ve been keeping a close eye on construction progress by taking a ride on the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover. Recently Disney announced that TRON would open April 4, 2023, and construction is moving along!
We’ve been waiting for construction to be done on TRON Lightcycle Run in Disney World for what feels like FOREVER.
TRON construction
The ride was first announced in 2017, and we’ve been checking on the construction pretty frequently, but we still have no word from Disney on when the attraction will open. It was supposed to be ready in time for the 50th anniversary, but was delayed. However, we DID get an updated look at the ride today thanks to a video released by Disney!
In case you missed it, Disney World had some BIG announcements this morning.
Magic Kingdom
We learned when the new Star Wars hotel is opening, got an opening timeline for the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind roller coaster, and learned about new, interactive MagicBands called MagicBand+. The huge news drop included all kinds of updates, but one MAJOR update was missing from these announcements.
Disney has a lot of projects going on right now!
TRON Lightcycle Run
One that we’ve been watching closely is construction on the new TRON Lightcycle Run roller coaster in Disney’s Magic Kingdom. The ride was originally going to open in time for the 50th Anniversary Celebrations, but it’s since been delayed. Today, with views from the PeopleMover, we saw some progress with the construction!
