If you or your kids are afraid of going upside down on roller coasters, we have some good news! What is this? TRON Lightcycle Run does not go upside down or have any inversions.

Though this coaster does not go upside down, there are plenty of twists and drops and you are turned sideways a few times. The ride takes you outside, twisting and racing under the canopy. Each section of Lightcycles features seven rows.
TRON is by far the most intense coaster in the Magic Kingdom, although it doesn't have any loops or inversions. If Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Splash Mountain, or Big Thunder Mountain give you pause, skip TRON.
Overall milder than Guardians. Tron is somewhere in between what you seem to be ok with or not. Lots of fun. It feels fast, but smoother than Big Thunder and Space Mountain.
While Disney Imagineering noted that TRON is the fastest roller coaster they have ever built, there is one ride found at EPCOT that tops the list. Here are the fastest rides at Walt Disney World: Test Track (65 mph) Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind (60 mph)
Elements have since evolved from simple corkscrews and vertical loops to more complex inversions such as Immelmann loops and cobra rolls. The Smiler at Alton Towers holds the world record for the number of inversions on a roller coaster with 14.
You are seated very easily with a lap bar, and the vehicle is placed at the back of the coaster train. Overall, even though my test experience riding TRON was a little uncomfortable, I'm grateful to have had the option to use the accessibility car.
The TRON ride vehicles — or Lightcycles — are similar to a motorcycle. Like the vehicles on Avatar Flight of Passage in Animal Kingdom, you will lean forward when you board, with leg restraints that come down around the back of your calves. The back of the seat will come down to secure you in as well.
The Twilight Zone Tower of TerrorIf we're talking about the scariest rides at Disney World, I had to start with The Tower of Terror. I mean, it's all in the name! From the ghostly holograms, the 'death' defying drop(s) to the sinister theming, everything is designed to scare the Mickey outta you – and it really does.
With top speeds of just under 60 miles per hour, TRON Lightcycle/Run is one of the fastest rides in Walt Disney World and certainly the fastest roller coaster you will find in Magic Kingdom. For comparison, its neighbor Space Mountain reaches half that maximum speed at 27 miles per hour.
Rescue workers responded to a report that passengers were stuck on a fairground ride and arrived to find eight people hanging upside down from their safety harnesses, according to a press release issued by the Crandon fire department.
Cosmic rewind imo is a lot more intense (but also a lot more fun). I also find Expedition Everest at AK a lot more intense than Tron, so if you've done that and were fine then you'll be fine. I went on it yesterday for the first time - it was awesome!
