However, this attraction is now closed for the last three years. Moreover, TRON: Lightcycle Run construction is also underway, blocking the railroads recently.
Disney hasn’t yet confirmed any opening date for the railroads. However, one can presume that the opening date now largely depends on when the construction of Tron will get over.
