TRON Lightcycle/Run will be a race though the Grid to beat the Programs team orange, in order to win, you're going to have to go fast.

The ride's Shanghai equivalent reaches speeds of up to 60 mph, so it's likely the new coaster will be just as fast. This will make it the fastest coaster in Magic Kingdom. Space Mountain, TRON's neighbour in Tomorrowland only goes as fast as 27mph.

TRON Lightcycle/Run isn't just the fastest ride in Magic Kingdom, it will actually be one of the speediest in the whole of the Walt Disney World Resort. Over at Epcot, the newest ride there, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, also reaches up to 60mph.

In the competition to become the fastest ride in WDW, TRON Lightcycle/Run is out there in the lead.
