Tomorrowland Light and Power Co. - March 7 2023
Posted: Tuesday March 7, 2023 11:15am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Work on the former Tomorrowland Light and Power Co. building continues at Magic Kingdom with the installation of some new theming.


The building has an updated clock and a new Tomorrowland mural. Part of the signage, the mural includes depictions of Space Mountain, Astro Orbiter, and the Tomorrowland entrance marquee.


When complete, the building will serve as part of the entry and exit area for TRON Lightcycle Run and Space Mountain.

The MCP in story is likely Ares, this is set 14 years after TRON Legacy. Where the programs of the red Dillinger grid are invading the blue ENCOM grid.

They should install a screen above one of the gates with the old school MCP spinning, then stopping and looking at the cycles menacingly as you go under.

I am in interested to see if the overlay runs during the parties. I’m assuming yes, but will know by tomorrow night.

They used to do a parade for every new movie for a while, I believe that cost was funded by the budget for the movie though - not sure that would work nowadays

I'm all for Disney trying to get their movies into the parks super early... It used to be a big thing that would keep the parks constantly fresh... off the top of my head I think: -Space Ranger Spin opened before TS2 (before Zurg was a big thing) -BatB live opened the same day as the movie -Aladdin had a parade that opened the same day as the movie It would stop us from building an Encanto ride, set to open 6 years after the movie premiered

Listen. It’s not just lights. It’s also music. They charged us an extra $40 to turn the lights OFF at Space Mtn. New, expensive red lights and NIN music are worth at least $75 ($69.99 for APs in August and September). Wait til you visit the Grid at Christmas. You’ll be asking “Ho ho how many more of these movies will Bob approve before he accepts no one watches these movies?”

Surely changing the light color at Tron is worth at least a $10 if not $20/ticket bump. Plus they can claim “something new!!!”.

Needs more popups that won’t stop popping up no matter how many times you click “x”. Now that would be truly horrifying.

Should definitely consider this as a MNSSHP-exclusive next year.

classic Disney synergy...build hype for the movie by updating the ride first...hope it's worth the hype!

For a limited time thing, this is cool. I prefer Daft Punk but it’s a cool change. I think this could work well for a Halloween overlay. Excited to see the movie.

TheMaxReboSep 15, 2025

They just said Limited Time - maybe it will depend how it is received? The movie opens Oct 10th, figure at least through mid-October, but we shall see We are there early November, hope it is still going then

…better make sure you have a prescription ready for that

Overlay starts tomorrow for Ares! Do we know how long it'll last?
