The big announcement comes after Disney tweeted a cryptic video hinting at the coaster’s expected opening date.

According to the Disney Parks Blog, the TRON Lightcycle/Run story begins after “Tron: Legacy” when Kevin’s son Sam Flynn opened a second gateway to the digital realm known as The Grid.
As guests line up, Disney says they’ll feel as if they’ve been digitized and transported to the grid for a special Lightcycle race. To ride the coaster, each person rides their own bike-like Lightcycle and races at high speed in a semi-enclosed structure.
The WDW website describes the ride as follows:
“Ride your very own Lightcycle and set off on a high-speed adventure to compete against the grid’s most threatening programs. Outrun fierce opponents and ensure your team’s victory as you attempt to pass eight energy gates.” Then you can survive. Let’s race another day.”
This attraction will be one of the fastest roller coasters at any Disney theme park in the world.
According to the blog, the special screening will see Cast Members join the grid first, followed by screenings for annual passholders and Disney Vacation Club members.

The ride was unveiled during the presentation of Walt Disney World Parks and Resorts at the D23 Expo in 2017. Originally, former Disney CEO Bob Chapek said he planned to open the attraction to coincide with WDW’s 50th anniversary celebrations, which end in March 2023.
