NEW: Show Scene Installation Begins for Tron Lightcycle Run at Magic Kingdom

Disney is wasting no time with the construction of the Tron Lightcycle Run roller coaster at Magic Kingdom. We’ve seen track installation for months now, but today marks the first time that we’ve seen any show elements installed! We’ve been tirelessly covering the Tron Lightcycle Run roller coaster construction from the first trees that were cleared, up to a detailed look at Disney installing some of the support columns. The Tron Lightcycle Run roller coaster will forever change the landscape and feel of not only Tomorrowland, but Magic Kingdom as a whole. It’s a thrilling roller coaster with a wonderfully detailed queue. The Magic Kingdom version is said to be a clone of the original, and an investigative look at the track layout reveals that it will be the same.

Ok, on to the new installation spotted today. Located on the back half of the construction site is a single power ring (so far) that the coaster track passes through. These power rings are located throughout the ride, and this particular one is located in the first half of the interior portion of the ride. As you can see, the power ring has been mounted to the frame of the supporting steel structure. This is just the first of many to be installed in the coming weeks and months.

My enthusiasm for all things Disney all started when my parents took our family to WDW for a vacation. My first trip was at age 13. Since that first time, I have made a trip to WDW almost every year from age 13. As far as I knew there was only one place to vacation! My fascination with WDW began on that first trip. I wanted to know how things at WDW operated and what made it so magical. I wanted to know details like how many people worked there and the length of the monorail track. It is that fascination that fueled my interest in WDW. Each year that my family vacationed at WDW, I learned more about WDW as they built more parks and added more attractions. I am not the average fan; I want to know all the details and I love researching the facts of WDW. I research facts through the Internet, books and DVDs. To me, the best part is to conduct research trip at WDW. After college, my father was transferred to Orlando and I moved with my parents. Seeking employment, I applied for a job at WDW. I passed the first rounds of interviews and was proud to join the Disney family as a security cast member! The job was great. It included Disney-specific training and security training before assuming four duties: driving a security vehicle, standing a post, working in a resort or walking a park or other area. Sometimes I even had special duties like working the Epcot Christmas Processional. I would escort the celebrity guests from backstage to onstage. Interestingly, every cast member is given a WDW fact book monthly to aid in answering guest questions. The pocket book contained great Disney facts that added more fuel for my thirst of Disney facts. Well, all-good things must come to end so we moved back to NJ. In the summer of 2010 I moved back to Florida I am now living in Orlando less then 15 minutes from WDW and living the dream and have fun along the way.
