Thankfully, the current opening timeframe for TRON Lightcycle Run should actually hold this time. TRON Lightcycle Run opening “in time for Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary” turned into opening in Spring 2023. Of course, we all know how that played out. It was almost certainly an operational cost-savings to not run the trains for a couple of years. TRON construction could’ve occurred in such a way that the railroad closure occurred in a later stage of the project. Even at that time, it was pretty clear at that the railroad didn’t need to close. That’s when the Walt Disney World Railroad closed, which was still early in the construction of the upcoming roller coaster. Heck, it’s entirely possible that you’ve been visiting for several years and didn’t realize that was a working train station at the front of the park, as it’s been entirely ornamental since December 3, 2018. In case you missed it, Walt Disney World Railroad is “temporarily” closed for the construction of TRON Lightcycle Run in Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom. In this post, we’ll share the official announcement and offer commentary about the return of the trains. It’s an early Festivus and/or Christmas miracle (probably both–sorry, but this one took two miracles).

Walt Disney World Railroad will reopen this holiday season at Magic Kingdom with an all-new narration and more.
