Because the canopy covers the outside portion of the track, TRON is considered a ?covered ride? that can operate during rain. Blog Mickey reports that according to Cast Members, it can also operate when there's lightning.

Disney's official policy is that it does not offer refunds for rain. What is this? The show must go on, and even when it is rainy, Disney World is open. Now, of course if Disney does happen to close for a weather event (like a hurricane) they will issue refunds then.
So, while rain isn't ideal, Disney does still try to provide some entertainment and with the right attitude, you'll still have a good time. Remember: A rainy day at Disney is better than a sunny day at home!
Inclement weather may also affect entertainment—including shows and parades—in both parks. All outdoor attractions will close when lightning is observed in the area.
The wet months at Walt Disney World are June, July, August, and September. During that time, you can expect that it will rain almost every day. Most of the time you will get an intense drenching for an hour in the late afternoon which then passes quickly.
Rain means smaller crowdsOn rainy days most guests decide to forgo visiting the theme parks entirely. This means that the attractions have much shorter wait. In fact, sometimes you practically feel you have the park to yourself.
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)
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.
The ride speeds up to 59 miles per hour at the start, making it, along with its sister ride, TRON Lightcycle Power Run in Shanghai, the fastest at any Disney park in the world.
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.
Lucky for us, ponchos are available for purchase at Disneyland if it starts to pour. Child-size ponchos go for $10 and adult-size ones for $12. But remember, Mirsa: prices and availability of these items are subject to change at any time.
