One of the most anticipated rides at Walt Disney World has an opening date. TRON Lightcycle/Run is set to open at Magic Kingdom on 4th April 2023.

TRON Lightcycle/Run takes you into the Grid, turning guests into "Users" as they enter a digital race. You will join the blue team as they take on the Programs orange team.

The new coaster will be the fastest ride in Magic Kingdom, taking guests on a race that hits speeds of up to 60mph. All this and you'll be in a seat that resembles a motorbike. So as you race around the corners and banks you'll feel like you are immersed in the TRON movies.

We can't wait to experience the ride once it opens this Spring.
