The ride
TRON Lightcycle / Run is a launched coaster you ride leaning forward on a motorbike-style seat, racing under a glowing canopy and into the dark.
The story
You've been pulled into the Grid, the computer world of TRON. The preshow digitizes your group onto Team Blue, and you climb onto a lightcycle to race rival programs. Clear the Energy Gates before the other teams and you make it back to the real world.
History
It's a near-copy of TRON Lightcycle Power Run, which opened with Shanghai Disneyland in 2016. Magic Kingdom's version was announced in 2017 to open for the resort's 50th anniversary in 2021; the pandemic pushed it to April 4, 2023. It draws mostly on TRON: Legacy (2010), and from September 2025 to January 2026 it ran a red-lit TRON: Ares version with music by Nine Inch Nails.
Good to know
- Phones and loose items go in the lockers; nothing rides with you.
- A pad locks against your back on the bike seat. Some trains have a standard seat in the back row for riders who don't fit.
- It uses a regular standby line; the virtual queue ended in September 2024.
Look for
- In the preshow, the screen turns see-through once you're digitized and shows the launch tunnel ahead.
- The canopy over the track changes color. See it from the Tomorrowland walkways after dark.
- At the exit, a Team Green display honors a team that never appears in the films.
