Attraction Update closures at Disney Magic Kingdom

inline imageDue to the new Tron coaster-style attraction that will occupy an entirely new area next to the Tomorrowland's Space Mountain, a few modifications will be made to nearby attractions as construction kicks into gear.

First, the Walt Disney World Railroad will temporarily take up residence at the Main Street Station starting in December 2018, pausing its grand-circle tours of Magic Kingdom Park. During this time, guests will be able to get an up-close look at the railroad and take advantage of one-of-a-kind photo opportunities.

The Tomorrowland Speedway will close for a portion of 2019, as the attraction’s track is adjusted. It will reopen as the same attraction our guests know and love in the summer of 2019.

Magic Kingdom’s Tron attraction, which is set to debut in time for Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary in 2021, is based on TRON Lightcycle Power Run at Shanghai Disneyland (pictured above). This coaster-style attraction allows riders to board a train of two-wheeled Lightcycles for a thrilling race through the digital frontier. TRON Lightcycle Power Run debuted on Shanghai Disneyland’s opening day and quickly became the highest-rated attraction at the park.

I wonder how long the railroad will be down for.

I am hoping Tron is ready for late July 2021 which is when we are hoping to go for our 2nd Once in a Lifetime Holiday!

There were various rumours online that the Speedway would be rethemed into something TRON based and thus would fit in with the coaster and surrounding area. It would be a shame if it just reopened “as the same attraction”.

Magic Kingdom’s Tron attraction, which is set to debut in time for Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary in 2021,
I was hoping the TRON coaster would open well before the 50th anniversary - like, perhaps, in mid 2020.

I have the same hope regards the Tron opening time.

Kind of like speedway as is though. Went on it when I was young and got to take my own kids on this year. It was great for nostalgia and getting some brain cells killed waiting to get on😋

3 years to build a coaster! You could build a whole theme park in that time why does it take so long for Disney to do anything.

Oh no not the railroad. We’re returning Oct. 2019 after 20 years and was really looking forward to the railroad. ☹️

Do they have specific dates for the Speedway? DD loves this ride and we’re visiting for three weeks in January.
