The Virtual Queue continues to reach capacity very quickly. Both the 7am and 1pm queues stayed open for just over 3 seconds today. As a reminder, there is no conventional standby line available at TRON Lightcycle Run.

Lightning Lane availability improved today, remaining open until 7:45am. Still not long enough for non-resort hotel guests to make a purchase however.

TRON Lightcycle Run will officially open April 4 2023.

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.
