Walt Disney Imagineering is celebrating the 40th Anniversary of 'TRON' with a new nighttime look at TRON Lightcycle / Run testing at Magic Kingdom.
In a post on the official Disney parks Blog Imagineer Chris Beaty said:
Our story picks up following the events of “TRON: Legacy,” whose main character, Sam Flynn, is now opening new gateways into this digital realm at specific locations around the world. The first portal he created is at Shanghai Disneyland with the original TRON Lightcycle Power Run, and now Magic Kingdom guests will get their turn through this second gateway.
When you enter the attraction’s queue, you’ll feel as if you’re digitized and entering the Grid for a special Lightcycle race alongside your family and friends. You’ll all join Team Blue (hence the color of the wheels in the photo above) for a high-speed launch into a competition against Team Orange. As you swoop and swerve your way around the course, your goal is to be the first to race through eight Energy Gates and secure your victory. Will your team have what it takes?
Disney is still to announce an opening date for TRON at Walt Disney World, but we expect to hear more at the upcoming D23 Expo later this year.
