We’ve been keeping a close eye on TRON Lightcycle Run in Magic Kingdom as the ride continues to get ready for its opening.
TRON construction
The new Tomorrowland ride will be making its official debut in spring 2023, and we’ve been bringing you the latest construction updates as we prepare for its arrival. As the ride gets ready to open, it has gone through a variety of different phases of testing the ride vehicles. And now we have an updated look at the latest phase of tests.
The last time we spotted TRON testing, the ride vehicles weren’t empty — the seats were taken by water-filled dummies that mimic human bodies.

And Twitter user @bioreconstruct gave us an even closer look at that testing with up-close pictures! You’ll notice the weighted dummies have a backrest pushing them forward. The ride vehicles are similar to motorcycles, so guests will be leaning forward on the ride.

@bioreconstruct also shared a look at the last car in the ride, which is a traditional lap bar seating as opposed to the rest of the forward-facing vehicles.
Most guests will ride Tron leaning forward as if in a Light Cycle. These guests are secured with a backrest that presses forward.
