A MAJOR Ride Change Happens in Magic Kingdom Today!

ROCK ‘N ROLL! Move over, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster. Sorry, Cosmic Rewind. We’re jamming out to NIN (Nine Inch Nails) on another roller coaster in Disney World. Any guesses? Hint: we’re entering the Grid.

TRON

It’s time to lock in, people. We’re going to TRON Lightcycle / Run in Magic Kingdom for a NEW ride experience in honor of the Tron: Ares movie coming soon to theaters. That’s right — TRON is going RED, and our reality is about to look a little different.

We visited Magic Kingdom bright and early on September 15th to be among the first to see the new Tron: Ares ride overlay. Unsurprisingly, the line was long when Magic Kingdom opened. TRON Lightcycle / Run was posting a 70-minute wait time when Magic Kingdom opened for all guests at 9 AM.

TRON Lightcycle / Run has a new overlay!

So, what’s new with this version of the ride? Well, Disney is giving TRON a whole new hue — everything is RED (instead of the classic blue), and Disney teased “the pulsating industrial sounds of Nine Inch Nails,” as you zoom through the course. Wanna hear a little taste of the NIN soundtrack? This ought to pump you up for a ride on the Lightcycle, right?

Instead of the blue and orange color scheme of the ride, we’re blasting through tunnels of red and orange light trails. We could see the red on the wheels of the bikes and we could see a bit of the red in the canopy of the ride. However, the colors will look even better at night!

It is still pretty cool to see in the day as well but just imagine how striking it is going to look when it is dark out! Of course, we will be back later tonight to take a peek at the overlay again.

Even the ride photo is getting a makeover! Make sure to strike a pose — the ride photo comes with a VIDEO that has some sweet slow-motion action going on as you zoom through the ride.

Fun fact! There’s a TRON Lightcycle / Run in Shanghai Disneyland, too, and the Shanghai version of the ride is getting the same makeover starting September 16th. Disney confirmed that this ride change is only available for a limited time, but we don’t know how long the overlay will stick around.

Of course, this ride will REALLY come to life at night, and you KNOW we’ll be back to check it out when the sun goes down. For now, we’ll leave you with this little preview, courtesy of Disney. It looks SO COOL!

We love it when Disney tweaks its rides for special occasions — it’s fun to see our old favorite rides change and evolve with the seasons. Over in EPCOT, for example, you can catch a special Food and Wine Festival overlay at the Living with the Land attraction.
