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.
TRON Lightcycle/Run, on the edge of Tomorrowland, is being billed as the Magic Kingdom's fastest ride and among the fastest at any Disney park. Disney World officially brings the digital world of the “Grid” from movie theaters to Tomorrowland when TRON Lightcycle/Run official opens Tuesday.
A big part of the TRON Lightcycle Run experience is the outdoor canopy. Not only does the attraction look better at night, but the story makes a bit more sense. This is definitely one attraction that is superior at night.
It's extremely smooth, like EPCOT's Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, without the spinning. And like EPCOT's Test Track, part of the track goes outdoors. The indoor portion is relatively dark, but not scary. It's thrilling.
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.
Now, guests hear classic rock/pop songs from the Guardians of the Galaxy film soundtrack, and experience one of six drop sequences (meaning the ride should be different the first few times you ride it). The ride itself is shorter, faster and more intense than Tower of Terror was, but it's not a huge change.
