They continued to work on the foundations and started putting supports in back in April:

wdwnt/2019/04/photos-tro...ngdom-4-24-19/

And the black support columns were put in place in early May:

wdwnt/2019/05/photos-tro...update-5-6-19/

And the first sections of track were installed in the middle of May:

wdwnt/2019/05/photos-fir...magic-kingdom/

So they started laying track about 5 months ago. They did not "start laying the track 18 months ago".

Disney has not stated when the Tron Lightcycle Run coaster is due to be completed other than it will be completed in 2021 before the 50th Anniversary.
Weird you are being so picky. They started working on the Tron coaster over 18 months ago as you say. And the submitted planning states it will open as per my earlier post. They lodged the papers.

Not sure why this is an issue to you but my point about it taking around 3.5 years stands.

Weird how originally you stated (and I quote) "They started laying the track 18 months ago". And when I politely pointed out that this was incorrect and that they only started laying track around 3 or 4 months ago, as per all the photos showing this, that you chose to argue with me and ignored the small mistake you made. Not sure why this was an issue to you?

I agreed in my response to you that they started work on the Tron coaster over 18 months ago. I'm not disagreeing with you there. The first part of the work was land clearing. As we all know, land clearing is not the same as starting construction. In this case, land clearing took a year before Disney started actual construction on the Tron coaster. I provided some links as to when construction started for some additional information. Again, this seemed to be an issue to you, for some reason?

I think this article by Tom Corless over on WDWNT was one of the first to mention the submitted plans, which indicates the latest date by which the attraction will be completed (not the actual date it will be finished, which we don't know yet):

wdwnt/2018/02/breaking-t...ins-next-week/

As Tom himself clarifies in the comments:

"The land clearing is going to take a long time as it contains waterways, untouched swampland, ETC. The actual coaster should take 2 years".

Which looks like he'll be about right. Well, probably slightly more than 2 years to construct the coaster.

And just to echo what I said in my original response to your post - you're right, Disney does take longer to build these things for some reason.

Ive not argued at all. The general term I used was with regard to work starting on Tron.

You seem to have a large chip on your shoulder for some reason, not sure why as you agree with me.
