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.
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.
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 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.
In the end, TRON Lightcycle / Run is a wildly fun ride, and it's something we look forward to doing every single time we come to the Magic Kingdom. It's a must-do, and it indeed makes things even better that it replaced absolutely nothing.
The ride is adjacent to Space Mountain, Disney's original high-thrill coaster, which will make comparisons inevitable. Tron is smoother and much faster – Space Mountain maxes out at a relatively tame 27 mph. But the nostalgic in me preferred the jerky, in-the-dark dips and turns of Space Mountain.
There are no inversions, but the launch can be a little scary if they haven't done something like that before, and inside the show building things are pretty dark, so that may be frightening for younger riders.
"All items must be placed either in a locker before you board your Lightcycle, or in a small compartment located on the attraction vehicle that can hold items such as cellphones, glasses or wallets," according to Disney Parks Blog. Here's a TRON tip: keep your phone with you and enable Bluetooth.
