Although there still is no date when TRON Lightcycle/Run will open in the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World, work continues to move ahead on the attraction.

Today, Chris Beatty, Portfolio Creative Executive at Walt Disney Imagineering, said that the TRON coaster team will “begin the next phase of ride testing … a process known as ‘push/pull.’”

The “push/pull” phase of an attraction involves slowly moving sections of a vehicle train through the entire ride track. Once the track is completely ready then trains will begin launch tests at incremental speeds. Eventually, they will work 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,” said Beatty.
