I have obviously missed this but what are the building works at MK, a new ride?
We were on the people mover last night and see the new works next to speedway... what’s this going to be folks?... looks like coaster tracks

Its the TRON light cycle run rollercoaster, same as the one that's in Shanghai Disneyland if you want to get google/youtube and get an idea of what it will be like. Due to open by the 50th anniversary in 2021

It's a version of the 'TRON Lightcycle Power Run' coaster that's already in Shanghai.

It was first announced back in July 2017:

And then there was some more recent info here on the DIBB back in May:

We saw the building work for it on Tuesday when at the Barnstormer. It's encroaching on the rail tracks meaning the train around the park perimeter isn't currently running.

Unfortunately yes, but when the construction gets to a certain phase they will be re routing the railway and it will be back, I think the new route will take the railway under the ride but not entirely sure about that, but if not the ride itself certainly under part of the building entrance structure.

There is no way disney will let the train be visible at any point for the themeing of tron so I doubt it will go through.

This concept art released by Disney shows the Railroad will still be visible post construction. However as we all know concept and the final product can differ.

The train can be sen on the far left.
