TRON Lightycle Run will open at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom in Spring 2023, and we are now starting to hear details of how the queue will operate.
According to multiple sources familiar with the opening plans, TRON Lightcycle Run will open with a Virtual Queue and Lightning Lane but no standby line.
Disney will mirror the opening plans used for Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT, using My Disney Experience for guests to join the Virtual Queue at designated times during the day, likely to be 7am and 1pm. The Virtual Queue will be available to anyone visiting Magic Kingdom.
Disney will also offer Lightning Lane access via Individual Attraction Purchase as an alternative to the Virtual Queue. The cost is expected to be between $15 and $20, although dynamic pricing means it will vary depending on the day and demand.
Demand is likely to be very high for TRON Lightcycle Run at Magic Kingdom, and we should expect the Virtual Queue to reach capacity almost instantaneously - within seconds of becoming available.
The lack of a standby line will mean that guests will be limited to a maximum of two rides per day, assuming they successfully obtain a boarding group in the Virtual Queue and a Lightning Lane reservation.
Soft openings for TRON at Magic Kingdom are planned to take place in March 2023, including the usual previews for select groups of guests. These groups include Cast Members, Annual Passholders, Disney Vacation Club Members, Club 33 members, and a D23 ticketed event.
Following the month of previews in March, TRON Lightcycle Run is expected to have its official grand opening in April 2023. Disney is still to officially announce a specific date or month.
