You soo know that you wanna get lost in the grid and TRON is the perfect place to do that as it's just one of those coasters that left me speechless! This was coaster credit 418 for me and what a good one it was as this ride is incredible as your laying down on the cycle and your basically flying through the grid at a fast speed racing the red team to the finish line! The visuals for this coaster are amazing it's super well themed and just a experience like no other roller coaster out there! The ride isn't too intense making it super fun for all ages like you really can't go wrong with it so if your ready and willing to enter the grid DO IT!! Overall this is an awesome new Vekoma and amazing edition to Magic Kingdom I'm going to be counting the days until I get to ride this super fun Coaster again! See you in the grid! read more

In a day with fits and starts we are finally here - we were online before the 7am virtual queue opening time. Got into a pretty good group #29 should have been on the ride before 11am. The ride has been alternated between running & broken down all day. 12 hrs later we are finally in line. The line moved at a decent rate - about 20 mins later we were pinned to our light cycle. The ride is Rockin Rollercoaster meets Space Mountain. Slingshot start around an exterior section and back into the dark. Some twists, turns & stops then it's over. I timed the ride at 83 seconds from launch to stop. read more

Tron is the latest entry into Disney World's family of coasters. Due to its popularity, there is no standby line. Rather take your luck to enter a virtual queue or be like me-suck it up and pay the individual lightning lane price just to get it over with. At least you are guaranteed a return time window. Photopass photographers stand outside to take your picture along with some special effects pictures that will show up. You are able to "test" one of the bikes to see if you fit or are comfortable with it. My husband and I decided to go with the upright seats in the back. Each coaster has one pair of these seats for handicapped individuals or those who prefer not to lean over the bike. Once inside you enter and become part of the "grid." The preshow area is extensive and yes there are lockers for you to stow your gear. Make sure to do this because you will lose everything if you don't. Lockers are numbered so make a point to remember yours because you will empty it on the other side once the ride is over. I found having the lightning lane cut out wait time tremedously and we were able to enjoy the ride itself within about 15 minutes. It took us a few extra minutes to wait until a sit up back sit opened up but we were glad that we did. It felt more like a typical coaster ride. You are catapulted out the loading dock in and outside the ride going at super fast speed. Inside various scenes from the movie appear but you are going to fast to take it all in. With its wild twists and turns you just never know what to expect including the dark areas. It was truly a winner of a coaster. Once we were back at the station it wasn't a far walk to retreive our belongings at the locker. They have a model vehicle as you exit. Ride it at least once if you are visiting the Magic Kingdom. The ride is located in Tomorrowland not far from Space Mountain. read more

I finally got my husband to ride Tron. Our only option is pretty much Saturday or Sunday right now because of the virtual queue. We were in group 36 and able to ride around 10. there was hardly any line and we were out early enough to get breakfast at Liberty Tavern. my husband does not like roller coasters. He literally almost had a heart attack after riding Velocicoaster at Universal, he'll go on GoG with me but prefers not to, and he will never go on Hagrids at Universal again. I was really surprised when he said he liked this coaster and he would definitely go on it again. There is no upside down and you feel very secure in the seat. read more

Enter The Grid: Welcome to Tron Lightcycle Run. Magic Kingdom Park, and particularly Tomorrowland, has long been in need of new attractions and Tron delivers on all counts. Board your own Lightcycle and hang on as you race through The Grid and try to bring home the glory of victory. This attraction is located in the back corner of Tomorrowland, it's entrance just to the left of Space Mountain. A breathtaking canopy that is lit and changes colors welcomes you as you enter the world of Tron. And bonus: atop the entrance path you'll find new Tron restrooms. Once you enter the building you'll make your way down a long tech-lit hallway until you reach your Digitization Room. Once you've been properly digitized you'll see racers below making their lightcycle run. After one more room you'll reach (free) lockers to store all of your goods. These lockers are BIG and can accomodate quite a bit of stuff/bags/popcorn buckets, et al. From there it's time you make your way down to board your lightcycle. Throughout the queue you'll find posters and videos explaining to you the backstory and other racers you'll be facing off against on your lightcyclcle run. This attraction is a BLAST! From the unique ride vehicle, to the your ride through the illuminated canopy, through your entrance into the attraction and beyond Tron is a nonstop rush of speed, fun, and laughter. I legit had a smile on my face from launch to landing. Now I will say, there is a minimal story line/story being told. Recent (and classic) attractions have spent preshows and beyond trying to explain and set up the attraction, you won't find that here aside from the handful of screens hangning about through the queue. But this does not stop from being a fun thrill ride that delivers from start to finish. I can't wait to Enter The Grid again! read more

Cool/ Unique ride. Who doesn't want to go on the TRON ride?!?! My only gripe is that it is not comfortable. I get the design appeal: like you are riding a motorcycle. But it's not comfortable at all. Similar to the Avatar ride, but instead of a screen in front of you, you are on a legit rollercoaster. Cool concept. But definitely not fat people friendly. If you are on the heavy side, this won't be all that fun with the position of the ride. I wish there was a normal seating section for people who want to go on the ride, but don't want to be in the awkward motorcycle position. I felt uncomfortable in that position, and it hurt my back. For the record I don't have back problems, but I am overweight. I digress to my previous statement, that this ride is not fat people friendly. lol read more

The ride was really fun and intense, it was short but that is one because the ride was really fast read more

Tron Lightcycle Run - Back of the ride - Amusement Parks Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I got a virtual queue line to ride tron and was excited. I have been to avatar passage of flight so I kinda knew what the seating would be like. You ride on a motorcycle type seat and some carts have accessible standard roller coaster cars where you can sit back normally. I opted for the motorcycle type seat. Despite have a spot in the queue, we still waited about an hour. The launch is pretty intense, going from 0 to 60+ mph in seconds. You get launched immediately to the outdoor area everyone can see. That was such a blur and I didn't even remember seeing anyone or anything clearly, immediately we looped back into the building and there were lots of lights. The storyline of the ride is like you are racing another team, their color is Orange and ours is blue so inside it's lots of blue and orange lights as you zoom past. Overall deducting a star because it's such a short ride, about a minute. Also they give you lockers to store your stuff in before you get on! read more

Got to try this as both a Virtual Queue and a Lightning Lane and I'm glad I did it that way because I'd be mad if I had to do this as a standby. The ride is basically a roller coaster, but in cycle style and it is fun, but I have short legs and because of my dimensions, I had to ride in the bench seat. I'm not hating because of that because the ride was kinda fun, but it's definitely a short ride and I felt that Space Mountain was a lot better. The ride is aesthetically gorgeous, but I remember the original movie when I was a kid and always thought a real light cycle fight would've been amazing to experience. This ride didn't meet those childish expectations and I'm not naive enough to think it should, but unfortunately it means no ride Disney would've come up with could live up to my imagination. read more

I don't mind the line, because that was one of the best rides I ever rode on in such a long time.

This is by far the coolest ride at Magic Kingdom! The staff greet you and there is a cast member helping you store your stuff in a locker. It was such a cool experience! It was fun, fast, turns and it made you feel like you were part of the movie! I think it was the perfect length of the ride, any longer I feel like my stomach would hurt. Definitely would love to ride again! read more

Opened in April 2023, this is Magic Kingdom's latest and greatest attraction. As of this review, the only two ways to be able to get on this roller coaster is by Virtual Queue (VQ) and/or purchasing an "Individual Lighting Lane" (ILL). With VQ, there is a daily 7am and a 1pm drop. With the 7am drop, your fate to be able to secure a spot can be determined by 2-3 seconds. Yes, you read that correct. 2-3 SECONDS. If you can't get a VQ in the morning, wait until 1pm. At that time, it is wayyyy easier to obtain. Also, if you were able to secure a boarding group during 7am, you CANNOT try for the 1pm time slot. If you want to ride a second time, you may purchase an ILL. Prices for ILL was $20.00 per person but will vary based on how busy Disney forecast the park crowds to be. For ILL, you are able to pick what time you want to ride. With VQ, your time is based on when your boarding group is called. The advanced technology to this is pretty amazing. Free lockers are provided for you to store all items in. Don't worry about trying to remember your password. Lockers will open by the touch of your Magicband. Even these lockers look high tech. Tron is not your typical roller coaster seats. Ohhhh no, my friends. You're straddling on a bike while the launch propels you forward at 60+ mph to the outdoor canopy area. That launch is really breathtaking in more ways than one. If you're plus sized, they have select special seats in the back of the coaster. Those seats are more the traditional roller coaster style seating with lap bars. The launch is exhilarating and immediately you are speeding out to the outdoor canopy. It's actually pretty intimidating since you can see below you. Then you're indoors for the rest of this ride. No inversions....there's drops but they're not really really steep or tall. You get some good force with those steep turns also. Good luck getting those VQs! Hope whoever wants to ride this on their trip is able to! read more

Neutral. I think it was hyped up a lot. The ride is short. We waited for the back so as not to strain our necks. Our party that rode regular said it was an uncomfortable ride, but liked that it was a faster ride read more

TRON Lightcycle Run has finally made its way to Walt Disney World! I was fortunate to have rode Tron back in 2017 when I visited Shanghai Disneyland. It was the state-of-the-art roller coaster at that time, and I knew that the Magic Kingdom in Florida would be a great future location to have a duplicate version of it. Unfortunately with the pandemic, there was a two year delay. Back in 2017, it was the most modern roller coaster in any of the Disney Parks; but due to the delays, "Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind" is currently the most modern roller coaster, and Cosmic Rewind holds the title as being the best roller coaster in any of the Disney Parks. Perhaps that does take away some of the thunder of the TRON attraction. Still, TRON is unique with its theme, visual lighting, music, and the ability to ride a coaster like a motorcycle. It's a must attraction, especially if you can ride it in the front and at night time! I understand that riding it at night is difficult with the virtual queue, but at least you can request to ride in the front. As for a criticism, the ride is super short. I wish it was longer, but perhaps the short length was to prevent it from being uncomfortable for some guests. I wish it came out earlier to Walt Disney World, but it's just nice to finally have it opened now! read more

Tried this ride and the hype is worth it. It's fast and unique as it goes outside and in so u feel the heat and also the AC. The photos and videos are cool if u have photo pass. Im not giving them 5 stars only because of the new method of virtual queue and lightning bs. Disney if u want money then charge it elsewhere. This new method is total garbage compared to fast pass of old. This is my 4th time and might be my last depending on how the rest of my trip goes. read more

"The Grid. A digital frontier. I tried to picture clusters of information as they moved through the computer. What did they look like? Ships? Motorcycles? Were the circuits like freeways? I kept dreaming of a world I thought I'd never see. And then, one day..." "I got in." If you are a big fan of rollercoasters, then this ride is definitely for you. The only thing.. it is a little difficult to get a spot on the ride. You have to join the virtual queue through the My Disney Experience app at either 7:00 AM (if you have a park reservation) or 1:00 PM (if you're in the park). The lightcycles may be a little uncomfortable for some, and there are carts in the back of some trains that you can sit in if the cycles are too small or too uncomfortable for you. My personal thoughts on the ride are that it's awesome, but I wish it was a little longer. The ride only lasts for just over a minute. Minus the fact the ride is so short, the ride itself is awesome. The theming is SPOT ON, the on-ride soundtrack is beautiful, and it's everything a TRON fan could want. 10/10 ride, would recommend. read more

Best ride in all of Disney World!!! So seamless and fun. We paid for lightning pass for this one but it was so worth it.

One of the best rides I've ever experienced but the wait was difficult. Be prepared to wait and wait and wait until you finally turn the corner into the final room ..........and wait some more. Once you get on the ride you'll be glad you waited. read more

Tron Lightcycle Run - Amusement Parks Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Whoa this ride is everything you want it to be and more! Lying down on one of those bikes made me feel incredibly awesome, and this was before it even took off. One of the best rides Disney has to offer for sure. Whilst definitely fast, it was very smooth and not once did I feel a flash of nausea (motion sickness) like I sometimes do with other rides. My only complaint is that I wish it was longer. They ask you to store bigger items such as backpacks, purses and hats in a locker as you can't take those on the bikes. The bike itself also has a small storage area for phone and sunglasses. The lockers are accessible from both sides and can be opened with the Magic Band or Park Entrance card (just like for the Lightning Lanes). It's all very well thought out. Honestly the whole area that leads up to the ride is worth it already as it is decorated in such a cool way I now want the walls in my house to lit up like that. They captured the theme perfectly and the music of Daft Punk is the cherry on top. The line did move slowly but given they were still in the testing/pre-launch phase I can easily forgive them that. read more

Amazing ride themed as if you're on the grid! Newly opened in Feb 2023. Most of the queue line is outside but there is still some queue line on the inside. There is a show before you get in the ride which is quick so you know you'll be getting on soon. I would say the ride is less intense than rockin roller coaster at Hollywood studios, as there are no upside down parts to the ride track. However, the sitting/laying down part on the ride vehicle makes this more intense than space Mountain. Laying down on the ride can be a bit uncomfortable on the abdomen area. You can request which lightcycle to ride (front/back) but my understanding is there is a special ride vehicle for people who may be challenged with the laying down of the lightcycle. Definitely the most intense ride in Magic Kingdom so worth waiting to ride. read more

Currently the only way to ride this was via the virtual que. My group of 3 managed to get into the 1pm que and were board group 150. We were not called for a while so we were not allowed to line up until 9:15pm. The ride had some sort of issue so we ended up waiting in line for about an hour and a half almost two hours. Some people ended up leaving the line before the ride. It was dark out so the canopy was lit up. You speed up to 60 mph in the beginning, but you don't maintain much of that speed for very long. You also have to sort of lay across a single rider motorcycle and the bikes are two per row. You will need to put everything into a free locker, even a fanny pack. The ride was not that fast for the majority of the time and pretty short. Do not wear a pin on your shirt since you have to lay down. Honestly it was fun to ride once, but wasn't that great. The motorcycle was a bit uncomfortable to ride. Not much theme decor to see. read more

Tron Lightcycle Run - Launch pad - Amusement Parks Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Terrible service and attitudes. The ride is also. Wry short and definitely not worth the wait.

Tron looks amazing! It looks fast! It looks...it looks...it looks! But the ride? Totally skip it. Ok, the best thing about it is the launch which seems to go on for daaaaays. It's a great launch. After that? No thrills. No dips. No drops. No swerves. No loops. Just relatively gentle bunny hills and curves. For a tame family coaster I'd almost give it 3 stars except...it is totally uncomfortable. You sit in it hunched over like a super fast motorcycle. You lay on your chest and arms outstretched with head pulled up into a very uncomfortable position. Sure you could go a bit more upright but that's not how the ride is built. And given the turns you end up pushing your arms out as hard as you can. It's just a horrible horrible sensation. This ride is not built for people who are too tall, too large, too small, big feet, not in shape, in too much shape. Really, the designers of the cycle should never be allowed to design a ride again. Oh, the "story" is that you are dueling against another bike. The ride totally ignores that until the last 2 seconds. Just dumb. Did I mention you should skip this? Skip it. read more

If you like speed, then this is ride for you! Based on the movie(s) Tron, it's a sit-on motorcycle ride. The story concept is that you are part of a team competition in the digital world. Right now the ride is only on the virtual queue system which I'm sure you guys know the drill. When you get toward the end of the queue, the cast member will direct you to a bank of lockers to put your stuff in (and you will need to take everything off because it WILL go flying). You will need to use your magic band or ticket to access it. On the vehicle itself, there's a small compartment to put your phone. So, 2 vehicles side by side in each row-it's a pretty fast loader ride. The launch is pretty amazing and it's so smooth. The only thing is that IT IS VERY SHORT! Like maybe a little over a minute? With people buying lightning lanes for it, there's $$ to be had. I'd feel gyped if I paid $20 for a one minute ride. Or later when VQ is done, waiting 60+ minutes for it. At least WDW Tron, saved me a whole lotta money by not having to go to Shanghai Disney to ride it. Ha! read more

Even though the ride was short and I had to wait for my boarding group to be called, this was one of my favorite rides. You board your light cycle by leaning forward onto the knee pads as if you're riding a motorcycle. You're then off through the tracks even going outside for a bit. I wish the ride was longer but I will definitely want to ride this again. read more

I enjoyed the tron quite a lot. As a kid, i played lots of mario kart, and those were the types of vibes i got from the tron. This is one of the fastest rides at disney, it accelerates at speeds up to 60mph, and i enjoyed it quite a lot. My only problem with this ride is that it was quite short compared to many other rides at disney, apart from that, amazing ride. read more

Tron is the newest ride to Magic Kingdom park. Just opening in the spring on 2023. A virtual que or lightning lane pass is needed in order to ride. Once in line, there are lockers that you can place all your belongings in for the ride. I highly suggest leaving everything as there is nothing on the ride itself to store your things. The ride is on the shorter side, however the thrill of the ride makes up for it. Speeding through the coaster outside and back inside is such a fun experience and to see those looking up watching gives such a fun vibe! The ride seats are not the most comfortable, but so the ride is short, it's tolerable! read more

This is a copy of the Shanghai Disney Tron rollercoaster and really surprised me on the launch. Tron Lightcycle Run is a steel launch motorbike rollercoaster with a top speed of 60 MPH and a top hight of 78.1 feet. The ride time is less than 2min and this is good because the seat was very uncomfortable. The rollercoaster is very short with some cool animation and effects. I would definitely recommend riding this rollercoaster it's thrilling and super smooth. The queue for the ride is well themed and there are lockers to put all your things in before you ride. Phones and keys can be placed in a compartment on the ride. To ride this rollercoaster you need to wait in a virtual queue so check the disney app for more information. Overall it's a good ride nothing incredible but it's thrilling. read more

I was lucky enough to be invited to ride this last week by a close friend that's a cast member last week. First off the atmosphere surrounding this new ride is crazy. U immediately get submerged mentally in the grid. The sound track playing in the background just messes with your mind, well for a Tron franchise mental student like myself it was. I immediately wanted to watch both movies again. The structure they have built is incredible and wow all those colors at night are really something special. If your in line at the right time when the fireworks start then u are going to get quite tue show. The way the building is designed is truly something special but when the reflection of the fireworks hits it oh boy is it cool. I do think it was an awesome idea to build restrooms around the mid way mark for the que line. I remember the catastrophe during the early days of Avatar. Once they put in a bathroom it made the wait a little better. But ok so here's my thoughts. Yes it's all an experience and yes the ride is Awesome but I do believe there's some draw backs. For one it's crazy fast and I don't mean speed. The ride is literally over in something like 45 seconds or something. The launch is wicked amazing then next thing u know it's over. Will this be a ride that I ride over and over I don't believe so no. For one well the que is way too long and this was a soft opening. Once it gets to fully operational for the Public of my what a nightmare this will be to ride. I have a feeling this will turn into a pay to ride type of setup. I know things are changing with the speed passes but I get a sneaky suspicion that this will be something different. If u don't pay some type of extra fee then u more than likely will have a 4+ hr wait to get on this once it fully opens on April. Personally I thought the way u sit on the bike was cool & I'm a big guy too, 6'3 289lbs and I fit just fine. The handles are stainless grips I believe and your hands will have a tingle for a few minutes after riding but it went away. Was it worth the 2 1/2 hr wait well yes but would I do it again Ahh probably not. Yes it's a wicked ride that everyone should experience but when it comes to wait times and what else I could be doing this ride just isn't something I'm willing to spend most of my day at just to ride something that's takes less than a minute read more

A good addition to Tomorrowland This is the newest ride at the Magic Kingdom. It is located in Tomorrowland and I have watched it being built for months and then open on April 4, 2023. Currently, the ride has two ways of getting on: the virtual queue and the lightning lane. The virtual queue can be signed up by using the app and logging on at 7 am or 1 pm. That method is free. The other option is the lightning lane which cost $20/person for the day. The virtual queue was a long line that snaked all the way out of the building and seemed to take a long time. The lightning lane was quick by comparison and is a good way to go if your time is limited. The entrance has a look and feels like the movie tending toward black, blue, and white with hexagons, glass, and steel. There are lockers accessed using your wristband or Disney pass and a small compartment in the front of your light cycle for storing items that could fall out of your pockets. The ride has an unusual forward-leaning restraint system that some larger people may have challenges fitting. There are sample ones as you enter if you want to try them before having challenges on the ride. The ride is a roller coaster that starts you rolling outside the building first with a good starting speed and then brings you back in the structure. It is a good ride with loud music and tron-like graphics that follow the riders. Overall, it is a good ride that is interesting and exciting and I would suggest to Magic Kingdom visitors. read more

Don't even bother. You will not be able to ride unless you know someone on the "inside", they force you to do this thing called virtual que which from what we just learned fills in 3 seconds and for those without connections will never be able to hit the 3 seconds mark to get a slot no matter what you do. I did it within 1 seconds and was not able to get in, that tells you something is fishy. Anyhow we spent a ton of money here for no reason...AND no cast member was ANY help whatsoever. The system is designed like a Vegas slot machine, it keeps sucking you in with more and more money with promised pay off, but all you're doing is throwing your money away only to be able to ride kiddie rides , old garbage rides or BS shows that no one wants to see but you need to burn time now right?
