BREAKING: Disney Reveals New CHANGES Coming to TRON Lightcycle / Run in Magic Kingdom

The Walt Disney Studios will be releasing the next film in the TRON series, Tron: Ares, on October 10th, 2025. To match the theme of the brand-new upcoming film, the Tron Lightcycle / Run coaster will be getting a NEW overlay!

The next time you step into the digital grid, you’ll be launched into a Tron: Ares version of the high-speed, adrenaline-pumping ride! The news was just announced today by Yvette Nicole Brown at the Walt Disney Studios showcase at Destination D23. TRON Lightcycle / Run at Disney World and TRON Lightcycle Power Run at Shanghai Disney Resort will celebrate the release of the film with this exciting new overlay.

What will this overlay look like? The blue and orange hues of the ride will now become RED! That’s right — we’re switching sides. Can you imagine what the ride will look like at night, covered in a red color, rather than its usual blue?!

Just wait, that’s not all! The band, Nine Inch Nails (NIN), will be adding its unique music into the TRON universe as its music will be featured in the new movie. Well, that music will also be featured on the ride as a part of the new overlay!

This overlay will hit Walt Disney World on September 15th and Shanghai Disney on September 16th. Make sure to mark your calendars, because this trip into the grid will be unlike anything we’ve ever experienced!

September will be a great month for TRON fans!
– starting September 15, TRON Lightcycle will get a film overlay in Walt Disney World and Shanghai
– TRON and TRON Legacy will be fully remastered by Disney (available September 16)
