The beginning of the ride features an intense launch as guests soar into the outdoor portion of the ‘Grid,’ the term used in the TRON universe to describe the computer platform designed by Kevin Flynn (played by Jeff Bridges in TRON and TRON: Legacy). In fact, Greg Johnson, Show Technical Production Manager at Walt Disney Imagineering, shared that TRON Lightcycle/Run is “the fastest roller coaster we’ve ever built at Walt Disney Imagineering,” tied only with its twin Shanghai coaster. For comparison, its neighbor Space Mountain reaches half that maximum speed at 27 miles per hour. With top speeds of just under 60 miles per hour, TRON Lightcycle/Run is one of the fastest rides in Walt Disney World and certainly the fastest roller coaster you will find in Magic Kingdom.
