Walt Disney World in Florida is offering a thrilling new experience at Magic Kingdom Park when TRON Lightcycle / Run opens on April 4, 2023. Guests will feel as if they’ve been digitized and transported into the Grid for a special Lightcycle race.
You'll climb aboard your very own Lightcycle and launch into the Grid for a race through a dark, computerized world. The goal is to be the first to race through eight Energy Gates and secure victory. The attraction will be one of the fastest coasters at any Disney theme park in the world.
The story of the ride picks up following the events of TRON: Legacy, whose main character, Sam Flynn, is now opening new gateways into this digital realm at specific locations around the world. The first portal he created is at Shanghai Disneyland with the original TRON Lightcycle Power Run, and now Magic Kingdom guests will get their turn through this second gateway.
When you enter the attraction’s queue, you’ll feel as if you’re digitized and entering the Grid for a special Lightcycle race alongside your family and friends. You’ll all join Team Blue (note the color of the wheels in the photo above) for a high-speed launch into a competition against Team Orange. As you swoop and swerve your way around the course, your goal is to be the first to race through eight Energy Gates and secure your victory.
If you want to learn more about this fascinating digital world that’s inspired Imagineers and sparked the imaginations of countless others for four decades, both TRON and TRON: Legacy are currently available on Disney+.
