Marcus Leshock takes a ride on the new TRON Lightcycle / Run roller coaster at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom. Disney Parks has not announced an official speed for the motorcycle style ride, other than to say it is the fastest roller coaster in any Disney Park, along with its sister coaster in Shanghai. More facts and figures about the ride:
- It took more than 3,800 pieces of steel weighing almost 1,900 tons to create the attraction. The ride track is more than 3,000 feet long.
- The dramatic attraction canopy covers more than 50,000 square feet, reaches 105 feet high and features more than 1,200 lights.
- The Lightcycle ride vehicle incorporates onboard audio and lighting, as well as a specially crafted safety restraint that allows riders to lean forward on the cycles.
- The urgent, moody musical score for the attraction was written by composer Joseph Trapanese.
- The attraction’s 10-acre footprint is the largest expansion of Magic Kingdom since New Fantasyland opened in December 2012.
Ride recorded with permission from Walt Disney World at the TRON Lightcycle / Run media event on 3/14/23. TRON opens to the public on April 4, 2023!
