Which ride is better Tron or Guardians?

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 launch of Tron in particular is quite intense, reminds me of Test Track. The rest is fine. Overall milder than Guardians. Tron is somewhere in between what you seem to be ok with or not.

Disney got this ride right. The first coaster in EPCOT is something else - a well themed coaster that has a story and music - that is very fast and has cars that spin independently towards the action - truly a must do experience. The coaster was quite fun but be warned it may be intense for younger kids.

It is a bouncing that does bring you out of your seat as you drop (lap belts should be tightened to help minimize this movement). Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout is absolutely a scary ride and just may be too scary for some kids.

MORE DETAILS

There are no big drops. The coaster is in the dark and you can't see the track at all times. There's a backward launch and LOTS of speed.

There are six different drop sequences in guardians of the galaxy. Is Guardians Mission: Breakout scary?

It feels fast, but smoother than Big Thunder and Space Mountain. Tron is definitely not a family coaster. It has a height restriction of 48 first of all, and the launch is as intense as many extreme coasters. Seven Dwarfs and Slinky Dog are family coasters.

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.

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.

And like Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, you'll get a rock-and-roll soundtrack during your ride. Songs include A Flock of Seagulls' I Ran, Blondie's One Way or Another, and Earth, Wind, and Fire's September. The ride ends with the Guardians' mission succeeding. The whole on-board ride experience takes just under 3 minutes.

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 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.

There's no magic number to weight or height when it comes to riding TRON Lightcycle Run. Rather, it's about the distribution of weight across your frame, as well as the size of your calves. It won't be uncommon for lean, tall, and muscular guests to have issues.

MORE DETAILS

The track length on each of its two tracks is nearly identical to the track length on TRON, but TRON launches at over twice the top speed of Space Mountain, making the newcomer a shorter ride, time-wise.

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.

MORE DETAILS

Since Disney wanted to keep it family-friendly, Cosmic Rewind isn't as fast as the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster or the TRON coaster, both reaching speeds of around 60 mph. It's faster than Space Mountain which tops out at 27 mph, but it doesn't quite feel as fast as Slinky Dog Dash which reaches 40 mph.
