Is Tron too intense for kids?

At the end of the day, if your child doesn't like thrill rides, TRON is not the one for them. However, even children who DO like thrill rides may find this one too intimidating, loud, or intense. If you don't know whether your child likes thrill rides, this is not a good starter coaster.

TRON is by far the most intense coaster in the Magic Kingdom, although it doesn't have any loops or inversions.

MORE DETAILS

TRON Lightcycle / Run does not go upside down, but it does have big drops. There are also twists and turns throughout the ride — after all, you're racing on a motorbike.

MORE DETAILS

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.

MORE DETAILS

TRON does move up and down a fair bit, but there's very little of that “stomach-drop” feeling with your feet leaving the floor. That's for two reasons. The first is that on a Lightcycle your head points down, not your feet. But the bigger reason is that almost all of TRON's rise-and-drop motion includes a turn.

Overall milder than Guardians. Tron is somewhere in between what you seem to be ok with or not. Lots of fun. It feels fast, but smoother than Big Thunder and Space Mountain.

Regardless of age, this smooth-moving coaster balances high speed with a smooth, comfortable ride that shouldn't be too intense for even the most concerned riders.

MORE DETAILS

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.

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.

If your calves are bigger than 19 inches at the largest part, go ahead and use the back tire position while being locked in. This should allow the leg restraints to find a smaller part of your calf to lock you in.

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.

PhotoPass/On-Ride Photos Thanks to your MagicBand or MagicBand+ (or if you have bluetooth turned on your phone and have it with you while riding), your photos should appear in your My Disney Experience app automatically.

MORE DETAILS

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.

The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror If 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.
