Disney announced today that TRON Lightcycle / Run presented by Enterprise will open at the Magic Kingdom on April 4, 2023. Before the attraction officially opens, Cast Members will be the first to enter the Grid during special previews, followed by Annual Passholders and eligible Disney Vacation Club members. Dates for the previews will be announced at a later day.
The story of TRON Lightcycle / Run picks up after “TRON: Legacy” where Kevin’s son, Sam Flynn, has opened a second gateway into a digital world called the Grid. The first portal was built at Shanghai Disneyland with the original TRON Lightcycle Power Run.
When guests enter the queue at Magic Kingdom, they’ll feel as if they’ve been digitized and transported to the Grid for a special Lightcycle race. It’s your Team Blue against the Grid’s menacing Program, Team Orange. Your 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 ride vehicle is shaped like the iconic Lightcycles from the film. Riders will sit on the seat, leaning forward to reach the handlebars. Restraints will be behind the calves and against the back. Guests’ feet go into bucket-like stirrups.
We’ve recently learned that the accessible Light Runner car vehicles at the end of the trains may also be used to accommodate guests whose mobility or size are not compatible with the Lightcycles.
