What it's like
Editorial description, not a review — facts are in the table above
Disney describes TRON Lightcycle / Run as a race across the Grid, the dark, computerized world with no horizons from the TRON films. Riders climb aboard their own Lightcycle and race the Grid's rival Programs, trying to cross through 8 Energy Gates.
Disney's page calls it one of the fastest coasters at any Disney theme park in the world, and its tagline is "Ready. Set. Launch." The attraction sits in Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom.
