TRON Lightcycle Run — Tomorrowland in Magic Kingdom

TRON Lightcycle Run is the highest-rated attraction at Shanghai Disneyland, and it was announced at the 2017 D23 Expo that this attraction would be coming to the Magic Kingdom as part of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebrations. TRON Lightcycle Run is inspired by the 1982 movie TRON.

TRON is a coaster-style attraction and riders will board a train made up of two-wheeled Lightcycles. The lighting in the canopy will differ depending on the time of day.

The construction of the ride was delayed due to the closures related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and as a result, the opening was delayed until Spring 2023.

TRON is located in an entirely new area next to the Space Mountain and Tomorrowland Speedway attractions in Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland.

We’ve observed the construction of TRON from the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover, and we’ve seen progress in the canopy, the ride tracks, groundwork, and more. We’ve also seen ride testing take place.

This coaster’s story picks up after TRON: Legacy, when Kevin’s son, Sam Flynn, opens a “second gateway into a digital realm called the Grid” — the first gateway being the one in Shanghai Disneyland.

In this coaster, guests will board a two-wheeled Lightcycle on a train that represents Team Blue. The goal is to race against the Grid’s Programs, Team Orange to get through the eight Energy Gates first.

When TRON Lightcycle / Run first opened, guests could only experience it through a Virtual Queue. You’ll also be able to ride this attraction by buying a Single Pass Lightning Lane. Effective September 9th, 2024, guests will be able to access it by the traditional standby line.

Disney also announced that storage lockers will be provided for riders to store any loose items, which can be secured with a MagicBand, MagicBand+, or another ticket medium.
