TRON Lightcycle / Run is a launched steel roller coaster in Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom, themed to the 2010 film Tron: Legacy. Riders straddle motorbike-style seats and are launched by linear synchronous motors (LSM).
The coaster was built by Vekoma and designed by Walt Disney Imagineering, based on the TRON Lightcycle Power Run that opened at Shanghai Disneyland in 2016. It was announced in July 2017, and construction began in 2018. It was first meant to open for Walt Disney World's 50th anniversary in 2021, but the COVID-19 pandemic delayed it, and it opened on April 4, 2023.
RCDB lists the track at 3,169.3 feet long and 78.1 feet tall, with a top speed of 59.3 mph and no inversions.
