TRON Lightcycle / Run Ride Vehicle "Push/Pull" Test Begins at Magic Kingdom Park

The Walt Disney Imagineering project team will soon celebrate a significant milestone on the construction of the TRON Lightcycle / Run attraction, which is expected to open by the end of next year at the Magic Kingdom Park.

As the next phase of ride testing begins, construction crews will soon start a process known as “push/pull,” where sections of the seven-vehicle train will slowly be moved through the entire ride track. Once the track is completely ready, trains will begin launch tests at incremental speeds, with the team eventually working their way up to full-speed launches.

All of this exciting progress will be visible to our guests in Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom Park as trains make their way out of the launch zone and underneath the attraction’s iconic canopy.

Check out this new video for a behind-the-scenes look from Executive Ride Engineer, Jerold Kaplan:

Stay tuned for future photo-reports and other updates on the construction of TRON Lightcycle / Run!
