  • New Tomorrowland Sign Debuts at Magic Kingdom in Disney World

    New Tomorrowland Sign Debuts at Magic Kingdom in Disney World

    The Tomorrowland entrance sign was removed a couple of months ago and now its back with an reimagined updated design.

    The new Tomorrowland sign rests atop a circle held up by two sleek minimalist arches and now serves as the new marquee to the futuristic land.

    Tomorrowland opened along with the park on October 1, 1971, and the sign was last updated in during the 1994 New Tomorrowland refurbisment.

    The change to the sign is another example of the touch-ups the land has had. Among the other enhancements in recent months: A new sign for Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor, fresh paint on the Stitch’s Great Escape side and elsewhere, a spiffing up of Tomorrowland Speedway and improvements to the outdoor eating sections of Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café.

  • Tomorrowland Speedway Closes for Tron Coaster Construction at Disney World

    Tomorrowland Speedway Closes for Tron Coaster Construction at Disney World

    As we previously reported, a clouser for Tomorrowland Speedway in Magic Kingdom at Disney World has been imminent and it seems the plans are right on track.

    The attraction has officially closed on Jan. 2nd for refurbishment to make way for Tommorowland’s new Tron Coaster.

    The attraction will be closed for about four and a half months. The exact date is yet to be determined but reports suggest it should reopen on May 18, 2019.

    The Tron coaster will occupy an entirely new area next to the land’s Space Mountain and the closure is necessary because parts of the giant coaster hang over Tommorowland Speedway. Parts of the track will be adjusted, but when it reopens it will be the same attraction guests know and love, according to Disney Parks.

    Magic Kingdom’s Tron attraction, is set to debut in time for Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary in 2021. It is based on TRON Lightcycle Power Run at Shanghai Disneyland. This coaster-style attraction allows riders to board a train of two-wheeled Lightcycles for a thrilling race through the digital frontier. TRON Lightcycle Power Run debuted on Shanghai Disneyland’s opening day and quickly became the highest-rated attraction at the park.
