In celebration of the 40th anniversary of the original “TRON,” Walt Disney World has shared a new look at TRON Lightcycle / Run testing at Magic Kingdom.
They talked more about the story of the ride as well:
“Our story picks up following the events of ‘TRON: Legacy,’ whose main character, Sam Flynn, is now opening new gateways into this digital realm at specific locations around the world. The first portal he created is at Shanghai Disneyland with the original TRON Lightcycle Power Run, and now Magic Kingdom guests will get their turn through this second gateway.
When you enter the attraction’s queue, you’ll feel as if you’re digitized and entering the Grid for a special Lightcycle race alongside your family and friends. You’ll all join Team Blue (hence the color of the wheels in the photo above) for a high-speed launch into a competition against Team Orange. As you swoop and swerve your way around the course, your goal is to be the first to race through eight Energy Gates and secure your victory. Will your team have what it takes?”
There is currently no projected opening date for TRON Lightcycle / Run at the Magic Kingdom.
