PHOTOS: Tron Coaster Land Clearing Underway in Disney’s Magic Kingdom

Construction for the Tron Coaster coming to Disney’s Magic Kingdom started February 6, 2108 and things are already moving in a big way.  The Tron Coaster Land clearing is now well underway and @Bioreconstruct posted some really nice photos showing the construction project in progress.

Lots of trees have already been cut down and it looks a lot different from a couple of weeks ago even.  From up on the Contemporary Resort you can get a good view of the Tron Coaster construction site, which is located right next to Space Mountain and along World Drive:

A total of 8 acres of trees will have to be cut down during the construction according to the permits and things should move very fast in the next couple months.
