TRON Lightcycle / Run began its soft open today, meaning the ride is welcoming guests for technical rehearsals. Guests are able to ride if they get a Virtual Queue boarding group or purchase Individual Lightning Lane access. Unsurprisingly, the price of Individual Lightning Lane access for TRON Lightcycle / Run is high, coming in at $20 per person.
Individual Lighting Lane
With individual Lightning Lane, guests can purchase a time for their party to arrive at a few specific attractions.
The Disney Genie Tip Board will tell guests when the next Lightning Lane window is for eligible attractions. The Tip Board will clarify which attractions are available individually and which are available through Genie+. Visiting an attraction’s landing page within the app will also show an option for booking Lightning Lane.
See our guide here for step-by-step instructions to purchase Individual Lightning Lane.
As of today, two attractions at Magic Kingdom offer the option to purchase Individual Lightning Lane access: TRON Lightcycle / Run and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.
Guests should be warned that these attractions are not included in the similarly named Disney Genie+ Lightning Lane.
Will you pay $20 per person to enter The Grid on TRON Lightcycle / Run at Magic Kingdom, or will you try your luck for a boarding group? Let us know in the comments.
TRON Lightcycle / Run
TRON Lightcycle / Run is located right behind Space Mountain in Tomorrowland. It’s outside the park’s berm, and is housed in a sweeping white canopy, which helps hide a boxy show building. A walkway between Tomorrowland and Storybook Circus is also available.
Guests enter by walking under the canopy, known as the Upload Conduit. Upon uploading to The Grid, guests will join Team Blue in a race to cross through eight energy gates before the opposing Team Orange.
As you approach the entrance, there are two TRON ride vehicles to the left. They serve two purposes – so you can try them out and know what to expect when you get inside, and they provide a nice photo op.
We previously reported that some individuals have reported issues with being able to fit into the ride vehicles, so this is a great place to try them out and make sure.
There are double-sided lockers before the load area so guests can safely stow their personal belongings. Lockers are unlocked with MagicBands or plastic ticket cards; MagicMobile tickets on smartphones do not work, and guests without physical ticket media must request a white RFID card from Cast Members.
For the past few weeks, Disney has been conducting previews of TRON Lightcycle / Run, with Cast Members and Annual Passholders getting the first chance to experience the attraction. We were fortunate enough to experience this highly anticipated attraction during the Cast Member previews.
