Progress on Disney World’s TRON Lightcycle Run is getting closer and closer to being finished.
We’ve been following the construction, along with updates from the Disney Imagineering team who are working on it. But today, Disney announced that the ride was about to reach a new milestone.
Up until recently, TRON Lightcycle Run was in phase one of its process, but Disney just announced that they’re getting ready to enter phase two, which will include testing ride vehicles with something they call “push/pull.” This happens when sections of the seven-vehicle train are moved slowly along the track.
Once the track is deemed ready, the high-speed launch system will begin testing at incremental speeds until it’s tested at its fastest speed. After that, weights will be put into the vehicles for more ride testing. Then, several months after that, the ride will be tested with people.
So it looks like it’s still going to be some time before we get to the point of the ride actually being ready for guests. Disney has not yet released an opening timeline for TRON Lightcycle Run, but each milestone brings us that much closer.
