A new roller coaster is about to light up Walt Disney World!
TRON Lightcycle / Run, based on the 1982 movie and its 2010 sequelTRON: Legacy, will debut at the Florida resort on April 4. It promises a “thrilling new experience” that will be one of the fastest coasters at any Disney park, according to a press release.
The attraction, which has a predecessor in theTRON Lightcycle Power Run at Shanghai Disneyland, will transport guests to the fabled digital realm known as the Grid where they’ll race alongside family and friends on Team Blue.
The goal of the attraction is to be the first to race through eight Energy Gates and secure victory against Team Orange,according to Walt Disney World’s offiial blog— all in a dark, digitized world that picks up whereTRON: Legacy’s story left off.
Disney teased the announcement on Twitter Monday,sharing a videoshowing a vintage-style video game screen and blue and orange players spelling out 44, for the April 4 launch.
The attraction has been under construction for years, according to theOrlando Sentinel, since the coaster was officially announced in 2017 at the D23 Expo.
