Is Test track faster than Tron?

If so, TRON should be on your list! It's not the fastest ride in Disney World (that title goes to Test Track, which tops out at about 65 MPH), but it's pretty close. During the initial launch, TRON riders get close to hitting 60 MPH. Essentially, it's about as fast as if you were riding a motorcycle on the highway.



While both are high-speed thrills, Test Track is technically the faster ride, reaching a top speed of 65 mph during its outdoor "speed loop" at EPCOT. TRON Lightcycle / Run at Magic Kingdom, by comparison, tops out at approximately 59 mph during its initial outdoor launch. However, many riders find TRON to be more "intense" because of its unique motorcycle-style seating and the sheer force of its launch, which hits top speed in seconds. In 2026, visitors often debate which is better for a "need for speed" fix: Test Track offers the raw sensation of a fast convertible on a highway, while TRON provides a sleek, futuristic rush. If your goal is purely the highest number on the speedometer, Test Track remains the undisputed champion of the Walt Disney World resort.

I fit great on the test seats and had an easy time loading onto the ride itself. I did see a woman of a similar size as me for whom the test seats did not work, and I think it was because she had larger calves. The ride has a bar that drops behind your calves as a point of security.
