Is Tron a rollercoaster?

Walt Disney World's latest roller coaster does not disappoint. Walt Disney World's new Tron Lightcycle Run roller coaster immediately separates itself from the vacation destination's other thrill rides with a pulse-pounding launch that propels users, er, guests nearly 60 miles per hour.



Yes, TRON Lightcycle / Run is a high-speed, steel "launched" roller coaster located in Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom (Florida) and Shanghai Disneyland. The ride is unique because it features a "motorbike" style seating arrangement where guests lean forward and grip handlebars, mimicking the experience of riding a Lightcycle from the TRON films. The attraction begins with a powerful outdoor launch that reaches speeds of nearly 60 mph (97 km/h), making it one of the fastest coasters in any Disney park. After the initial outdoor "canopy" section, the ride moves into a dark, indoor "Grid" environment featuring neon lights, synthesized music, and digital projections. While the ride is intense due to its acceleration and unique riding position, it does not feature any inversions (it doesn't go upside down), making it accessible to a wider range of thrill-seekers. In 2026, the ride continues to use a Virtual Queue and Lightning Lane Single Pass system, and guests should be aware that it has a strict 48-inch height requirement and a unique restraint system that may require the use of traditional "lap bar" seats at the back of some trains for comfort.
