TRON Lightcycle Run beings soft opens today at Magic Kingdom, and as expected, is in very high demand.

The virtual queue opened at 7am this morning and reached capacity in just under 4 seconds. This is a similar timeframe that we still see today for the virtual queue at Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT.

Entering the main queue at TRON Lightcycle Run

TRON Lightcycle Run is only available until 6pm tonight, which is impacting virtual queue capacity.

A second opportunity to join the virtual queue will open at 1pm, and anyone who did not make the 7am virtual queue can also make an Individual LIghtning Lane purchase.

TRON Lightcycle Run virtual queue openings

Here are all the TRON Lightcycle virtual queue times:

7:00am (Guests do not need to be in the park when they join, but must have a theme park reservation for Magic Kingdom park)
1:00pm (Guests must be in Magic Kingdom park to join the virtual queue)
6:00pm - An additional opportunity to request to join the virtual queue will be available at 6:00 PM on select dates during extended evening theme park hours––a benefit for registered Guests staying at a Disney Deluxe Resort, Disney Deluxe Villa Resort or other select hotels. Guests with this benefit do not need to be in Magic Kingdom park to request to join at that time.

Yea it’s a big contrast to Memorial Day where the 1pm drop lasted the entire day.

Wow, what happened today? I've never seen it go that quickly for all three VQ windows. Usually, something like the 7am might last for a few seconds and then the 1pm is open for an hour or longer.

Good attraction, but like many Disney attractions of this generation just far too short. In this instance another 30-60 seconds could have changed it.
