The reopening of the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover at Magic Kingdom has provided some updated views of TRON Lightcycle Run. Guests taking a relaxing ride on the PeopleMover can take a close look at the nearly completed canopy and the swooping outdoor track.
Temporary supports are being removed now that the canopy’s skeleton is complete. Crews are now starting on the electrical work that will bring the canopy’s colors to life. We have a great view thanks to @bioreconstruct.
Previously, brown support beams could be seen around the canopy as work was completed. Now, most of those beams have come down.

If you want to check out TRON Lightcle Run’s progress without boarding an attraction, there’s some wild views in Storybook Circus.

We assume Disney will change the landscaping around Storybook Circus to hide some of the views of TRON Lightcycle Run, but that remains to be seen.
As exciting as it has been to watch the the TRON coaster’s exterior progress, it’s impossible to know if any work is being completed inside. Rumors suggested interior work was halted when the building was sealed up back in late 2020.
TRON Lightcycle Run was originally supposed to debut in time for Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary on October 1, 2021. Disney moved away from that plan and didn’t mention TRON during their announcements for 2021 additions. Disney hasn’t named an official opening date for TRON Lightcycle Run, but we’re planning on 2022.
