Does Tron have steep drops?

TRON Lightcycle / Run does not go upside down, but it does have big drops. There are also twists and turns throughout the ride — after all, you're racing on a motorbike.



TRON Lightcycle / Run at Magic Kingdom is officially categorized by Disney as having "big drops," though its intensity is often debated among thrill-seekers. The ride features a 78-foot tall structure, but it does not have a traditional, vertical "stomach-churning" drop like you would find on Expedition Everest or Rock 'n' Roller Coaster. Instead, the "drops" are more akin to high-speed, banked curves and gradual descents that maintain the momentum of the lightcycles. The most intense part of the experience is the initial high-speed launch, which accelerates riders to nearly 60 mph in seconds. For those sensitive to drops, TRON is generally considered more manageable than Space Mountain or Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, as the track is very smooth and the bike-style seating position changes the way your body perceives the G-forces. It is a fast, fluid experience designed to mimic the feeling of racing on the digital Grid.

At the end of the day, if your child doesn't like thrill rides, TRON is not the one for them. However, even children who DO like thrill rides may find this one too intimidating, loud, or intense. If you don't know whether your child likes thrill rides, this is not a good starter coaster.

If your calves are bigger than 19 inches at the largest part, go ahead and use the back tire position while being locked in. This should allow the leg restraints to find a smaller part of your calf to lock you in.

There's nothing slow about this ride. If you have a thrill seeker who enjoys speed, Tron will not be too scary for them. One thing to note: it's a relatively short ride that truly only lasts 60 seconds once in motion. So even if Tron turns out to be scary, it should be a very short experience.
