Wk 25: Arrows added to the TRON Lightcycle/Run Display at the Magic Kingdom

Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland at Walt Disney World Resort is currently ever evolving as construction continues on the TRON Lightcycle/Run roller coaster attraction that is set to debut next year for Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary. 

There is no construction update on the attraction itself, due to the fact that the walls are the only elements going up as of right now, but there was a small addition that was added to the TRON Lightcycle vehicle displays.

There are now arrows on the ground that give guests an idea of how the boarding process will work. I thought originally that the arrows were drawn out with concrete,chalk, or if it was just some material that was placed on the ground. It turns out that these arrows are made out of tape. The tape is very similar to that of packing tape, because it can still be ripped off. It’s there to direct you how you would get on the left and/or right lightcycles.

I am very excited for this new addition to arrive at the Magic Kingdom!!!

Wk 22: More TRON Lightcycle Run Wall Panels Go Up!!!

I have been continuously checking in on the construction progress of the TRON Lightcycle/Run attraction that is currently being built behind Space Mountain at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World Resort, and I am very pleased to inform you that the wall panels that have started to go up at the beginning of the month has progressed rapidly! The entire front portion of the TRON show building is almost completely covered in wall panels, which is the direction facing the Barnstormer in Storybook Circus. 

In the photo above, you can see that over half of the front part of the show building is covered in wall panels that are two various shades of gray.

On the side of the show building, the center of the building is covered in wall panels, while there is still work to be done on both sides of the paneling. Scaffolding has gone up, and you can see a little bit of the inside of the show building, but if the construction crews keep up construction at a this high pace, it won’t be long before we can’t see the inside of the building anymore, which means that the whole building is going to be covered soon.

There have since been more supplies that were shipped to the construction site, to continue the foundation work for the launch section of the coaster. These poles are supports for this side of the show building. There are also concrete pillars and pads with rebar that have been added to the site. This attraction is starting to come together! I cannot wait for the canopy to be added to the exterior portion of the queue!!!

One of the most exciting additions to TRON Lightcycle/Run is the addition of steel arches that were erected to the site a few days ago. These arches will serve as the attraction queue, and the attraction facade should be going here as well, when the attraction reaches completion.

TRON Lightcycle/Run is expected to open in time for Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary. Are you excited to ride this groundbreaking E-ticket attraction when it opens at the Magic Kingdom? 

Stay tuned for more information on the construction progress of TRON Lightcycle/Run and other projects happening at the Walt Disney World Resort!

Magic Kingdom

After I was laid off from Walt Disney Imagineering in 1995, after five years of service there as an employee, I ended up going back to Disney as a freelance sculptor and designer where I worked on further projects for various Disney Second Gates (Disney’s other theme parks other than Disneyland, The Magic Kingdom, and EPCOT Center) such as Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Blizzard Beach, Typhoon Lagoon, as well as a couple of mega-entrances to two Disney resorts ... The Mighty Ducks Resort Hotel and the Fantasia Resort Hotel. The Mighty Ducks goalie mask represents a 40′-foot tall entryway to the hotel which I sculpted and the Sorcerer’s Apprentice hat which was also the entrance to the hotel mentioned above. The dinosaur you see me sculpting in the bottom left photo was later sculpted life-size which you will see in one of my posts here at some point.

Memories of The Magic Kingdom seem so far away now ! Known as “The Most Magical Place on Earth!” The park is represented by Cinderella Castle (189feet tall) which was so breathtaking in the day as it was in the night! Some Trivia, The Magic Kingdom: - [ ] roughly has 20 million guests per year. - [ ] is based on fantasy and many of the Disney classic stories - [ ] has six “lands”. Branching out from the central hub Main Street USA, Adventureland Liberty Square Frontierland Fantasyland and Tomorrowland. - [ ] Almost every night, the Magic Kingdom has a fireworks show just prior to closing - [ ] Cinderella Castle looks like it’s made out of stone instead it is made out of fiberglass. Hopefully I can visit again one day !! 🎢 🎢 🎢 . . . . . . #disney #disneyland #themagickingdom #magickingdom #cinderellacastle #cinderella #disneytrivia #disneysmagickingdom #perthgirlindisney #perthgirl #perthblogger #disneyblogger #amusementpark #aladdinride #rides (at Disney's Magic Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-1jhvHjTF9/?igshid=awk8x2vg87gi
