If your child loves Rock N Rollercoaster, we think they will be ok on TRON Lightcycle Run. While this one does not go upside down, the speed certainly makes up for it! We'd stick with kids ages 8 and up.

TRON is most similar to the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster over at Hollywood Studios, which is also a catapult-launched, indoor coaster. TRON is by far the most intense coaster in the Magic Kingdom, although it doesn't have any loops or inversions.
The initial launch provides riders with that feeling of their stomach being left behind them — and can definitely trigger motion sickness. The ride starts inside, and within the first five seconds, you're outside. If you're light sensitive, this could be a trigger as well if you ride during the day.
This is a roller coaster, which means there are hills, sudden drops, and quick turns and stops throughout the ride. This coaster will take you up 70 feet above the ground while traveling through the outdoor portion. If you or your child are afraid of heights please be aware of this point.
We would classify it as less intense than Expedition Everest or the inversions on Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, but more intense than the more “family” coasters like Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and Slinky Dog Dash.
If you or your kids are afraid of going upside down on roller coasters, we have some good news! What is this? TRON Lightcycle Run does not go upside down or have any inversions.
You are seated very easily with a lap bar, and the vehicle is placed at the back of the coaster train. Overall, even though my test experience riding TRON was a little uncomfortable, I'm grateful to have had the option to use the accessibility car.
But don't worry — there aren't any inversions in TRON Lightcycle / Run, and it's a very smooth track! It's definitely on the “more intense” side of coasters in Disney World, but it's not the most frightening, generally speaking. (Have you SEEN the hill on Expedition Everest?!)
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 is said to be one of the fastest coasters at any Disney theme park in the world. Once you are sitting on your Lightcycle, you are launched at 60 mph on a high speed race through the digitized world of TRON.
The Magic Kingdom's newest roller coaster, Tron Lightcycle/Run, is a high-speed thriller, the fastest in any Disney park. Fastest, yes – but not the best. That honor belongs to Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, which debuted last year at Epcot, a high-energy romp with a killer soundtrack.
The Twilight Zone Tower of TerrorIf we're talking about the scariest rides at Disney World, I had to start with The Tower of Terror. I mean, it's all in the name! From the ghostly holograms, the 'death' defying drop(s) to the sinister theming, everything is designed to scare the Mickey outta you – and it really does.
The TRON ride vehicles — or Lightcycles — are similar to a motorcycle. Like the vehicles on Avatar Flight of Passage in Animal Kingdom, you will lean forward when you board, with leg restraints that come down around the back of your calves. The back of the seat will come down to secure you in as well.
