Experience the Grid of TRON Lightcycle / Run at Magic Kingdom Park

The time has come for guests to enter the Grid and experience the thrills of TRON Lightcycle / Run at Magic Kingdom Park! This attraction is the home of Sam Flynn’s second gateway into the Grid, following the original TRON Lightcycle Power Run attraction at Shanghai Disneyland. Guests can join the virtual queue or purchase an individual Lightning Lane entry, but either way, they will be sure to have an unforgettable experience. Let’s take a closer look at TRON Lightcycle / Run, including tips for riding and the locker system, as well as the opportunity to purchase TRON-themed merchandise.

The Legacy of TRON

The legacy of TRON began in 1982 when the original Disney film was released. The film follows Kevin Flynn, a game maker who is convinced his former employer stole a video game program he wrote while employed at ENCOM. Then, almost 30 years later, Disney’s “TRON: Legacy” is released, and the story picks up with Kevin’s son, Sam Flynn, trying to solve the mystery of his father’s strange disappearance.

Entering the Grid at TRON Lightcycle / Run

At this time, there is no standby queue for TRON Lightcycle / Run, and guests may experience the attraction through a virtual queue or by purchasing an individual Lightning Lane entry. To enter the virtual queue, guests will need both valid theme park admission and a park reservation for Magic Kingdom Park. Guests can try for a spot in the virtual queue at 7:00 am. or 1:00 p.m. If a guest is looking for another way to experience TRON Lightcycle / Run, they may purchase an individual Lightning Lane entry on the day of their visit using the My Disney Experience app.

Tips for Riding TRON Lightcycle / Run

Before you enter the attraction, there are test vehicles to determine if you are comfortable riding a lightcycle. Remember, in order to experience TRON Lightcycle / Run, guests must be at least 48 inches tall. There is an alternate seating option available for guests who prefer to ride a standard coaster vehicle with a lap bar. Guests will then place all small items in the compartment at the front of the vehicle, with smaller items being no item larger than a cell phone.

The Locker System

The lockers at TRON Lightcycle / Run are seamless to use and “pretty darn cool.” Once you’ve entered the world of the Grid, it’s time to store away anything bigger than a wallet or cell phone. Any open locker will light up blue and the cast member will tell you which section of lockers to use. Simply tap your MagicBand or theme park card to open the locker. If you forget which locker is yours, there are handy screens that you can tap on with your MagicBand or card and it will tell you which locker you used.

TRON-Themed Merchandise

No experience in the Grid is complete without leaving with a souvenir. Guests looking for TRON merchandise on April 4, should go to the pop-up location located across from the Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor. There is also the opportunity to save time with Merchandise Mobile Checkout via the My Disney Experience app. And there are culinary offerings as well, such as Energy Bytes, Magic Kingdom’s newest food kiosk located near TRON plaza.

Simply stated, if you love rollercoasters, this experience is not to be missed. We look forward to answering your planning questions at planDisney and our social media channels, @planDisneypanel on Instagram, @planDisney on Twitter.
