TRON Lightcycle / Run will use a virtual queue for upcoming separately ticketed Halloween and Christmas events at Magic Kingdom, without a stand-by option. This will be in effect for both Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.
TRON at Magic Kingdom
TRON Lightcycle Run is a new high-speed roller coaster experience in the Tomorrowland area of Magic Kingdom with sudden acceleration, sharp turns, drops, and a style of seating and restraints reminiscent of a motorcycle or bicycle. It is a replica of the original version that debuted at Shanghai Disneyland as an opening day attraction in 2016, and debuted this past April.
The queue, canopy area, and attraction itself all take inspiration from the 1982 film “TRON” and its 2010 sequel, “TRON Legacy.” The original played a pivotal role in the history and development of computer animation in movies. We have a full guide to TRON and its associated new offerings right here.
Virtual Queue is free and dispensed twice each day — once at 7 a.m. (which you can book remotely with a valid park reservation through the My Disney Experience app) and again at 1 p.m. (all guests must be physically in the park at this time). Guests are placed in boarding groups, and updated throughout the day on which groups are being called.
Since these holiday events will take place in the evening, it’s unclear when the virtual queue spots will be given out, or if there will only be one opportunity to join.
