  • A sample ride vehicle is available in front of the attraction to test fit and comfort
  • At opening, there will not be a standby queue, only a virtual queue. Guests should be ready to join that queue at 7am for the best result. A second Virtual Queue opportunity may open up again at 1:00 p.m., however Guests must be in the park to be able to potentially join that Virtual Queue.
  • Whether using Virtual Queue or Individual Lightning Lane, Disney is very strict with return times. Do not miss your return time to experience this attraction, otherwise you may not be able to ride.
  • Save time by consolidating loose items or giving them to a non-rider ahead of time
  • If you are hesitant about riding, ride the tamer Big Thunder Mountain Railroad or Space Mountain first. If you find those attractions too scary, you are likely better off skipping TRON Lightcycle / Run.
  • Even if you are not riding, make sure to travel to Tomorrowland after dark to see the canopy and lights at night.
