The big news for Magic Kingdom was the announcement of a Tron attraction coming to Tomorrowland.

Based on Shanghai Disneyland's rollercoaster, the new ride will be built in a new area behind Space Mountain. Rumours leading up to D23 were that Speedway would close to make way for the ride, but so far it appears to be safe.

Apart from the unique show building, Shanghai's ride is famous for its unusual train. Rather than sitting in a car, riders mount a Lightcycle just like in the movie.

There's no official opening date, but Disney have confirmed it will be open by 2021 which is Walt Disney World's 50th Anniversary.
