It opened on April 4, 2023, requires a height of at least 48 inches, and suits teens and adults who want a fast coaster.

What the ride is like
The ride begins with a launch that sends trains out under a lit canopy and up to a top speed of 59.3 miles per hour. The track then moves indoors, where it runs through dark show scenes with projections, lighting effects and electronic music. The whole ride lasts about a minute. There are no inversions.
Riders lean forward on the lightcycle with their legs held in place behind them, in a position similar to riding a motorcycle. Some riders find the position uncomfortable, and it differs from a standard coaster seat. Each train has seven cars with two riders across, and the track is a little over 3,100 feet long.
The storyline places riders on Team Blue in a lightcycle race against Team Orange. The design draws on TRON: Legacy, the 2010 sequel to the original 1982 film. A similar ride, TRON Lightcycle Power Run, opened at Shanghai Disneyland on June 16, 2016.
From September 15, 2025, to January 20, 2026, the ride ran a limited-time Tron: Ares overlay with red lighting and music by Nine Inch Nails. It has since returned to its regular version.
How to get on
The virtual queue that the ride used when it opened ended on September 9, 2024. You can now wait in the standby line or buy a Lightning Lane Single Pass, a separate per-person purchase that is not part of Multi Pass and whose price varies by date. Single Pass availability can run out, so check the My Disney Experience app early on the day you plan to ride. Genie+, which earlier guides mention, has been replaced by the Lightning Lane passes.
General crowd advice applies: lines are often shorter at park opening and in the last hour before closing.
Who it suits
TRON suits riders who are comfortable with a fast launch and high-speed turns. Children must be 48 inches tall to ride, and Rider Switch is available for parties who need to take turns. Riders with back, neck or mobility concerns should consider the forward-leaning posture before queuing.
Accessibility
Guests using an ECV must transfer to a wheelchair and then to the ride vehicle, and a transfer access vehicle is listed for the attraction. Some trains also have modified seating at the back with a more traditional coaster-style seat and restraints for guests who do not fit the standard lightcycle position. Ask a Cast Member at the entrance, and check Disney’s current accessibility information.
Tips
- Check the height first. The minimum is 48 inches (122 cm).
- Decide early about Single Pass. If you want to buy one, do it as soon as the option is open to you on your date.
- See it after dark if you can. The canopy is lit at night and is easy to view from outside the ride.
- Ask about the alternate seat. If the lightcycle posture is not workable, Cast Members can explain the modified seating before you board.
