They didn't start laying track 18 months ago. They did the foundation work back in April this year, added the first of the black supports for the coaster in May 19, and started adding the track in June 19 (3 or 4 months ago):

So I suspect from the start of foundation work to completion of the attraction will take just over 2 years. And, btw, we don't know when it will open yet.

But you're right. Disney does take longer to build these things for some reason. The Ice Breaker coaster at Seaworld is going to take a good 1 year less to build than this Tron Lightcycle coaster. Maybe Seaworld and Universal pay their contractors more so they work harder/faster?
