Posted: Monday April 3, 2023 10:22am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

TRON Lightcycle Run at Magic Kingdom is closed today as its soft opening period has come to an end.

 

TRON Cast Members have been seen going in and out of the area this morning, but the area remains roped off to guests.


Beginning April 4, 2023, TRON Lightcycle Run will begin daily operations from park open to park close using a Virtual Queue and Individual Lightning Lane purchase - no standby line will be available.

Disney will also be using the virtual queue during Extended Evening Theme Park hours when available for guests staying at Deluxe Disney resort hotels. The first Extended Evening Hours at Magic Kingdom after the opening of TRON is April 5 2023.

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. 

Guests will need to use the My Disney Experience app to enter this attraction. A standby queue will not be available. Each Guest can request to enter the virtual queue no more than once per day during regular park hours. Guests must have valid admission and a theme park reservation to join the virtual queue. 

Extended Theme Park Hours guests will need valid admission and a theme park reservation for the same park on the same day to experience extended evening hours—or they may experience extended evening hours if they have a ticket or Annual Pass with the Park Hopper option and first enter the park for which they made their reservation.

Not that I have a problem with jogging in general, but I never find that I’m very far in line behind the people who jogged. 🤷🏻‍♂️

It's refreshing to know Disney guests can still run and jog!!

Done it 2 days in a row now and indeed it was a stampede...people running, jogging...saw one woman drop her phone and cause a dawned pile up as she stopped to pick it up.

The VQ system (finally) ends today for Tron! Standby line starts tomorrow September 9, 2024. Scatterplot of every single VQ data point collected for the past 538 days, which includes soft opening and everyday since the ride opened on April 4, 2023. Here's my final update for it and wrap-up post:

And If I was 6’10” and a had a good jump shot I’d be in the NBA.

It’s literally show up an hour early?

Mark DunneSep 08, 2024

I agree, that sun will be burning down on people, also its not the quickest loading for me, with only say 8-10 people in the show room, be interesting how long that line goes. if the line looks long for us, it'll be ILL's all round.

Yes! It’s an excellent ride experience. Definitely a must-do E-ticket. If it was longer and had a properly themed (or better hidden) show-building, it would be among the best additions on property.

If they add it early entry resort guest might be less likely to buy a lighten lane single pass thingy or whatever it's called now. 😉 💰
