Lightning Lane Single Pass for TRON Lightcycle Run Drops to Record Low Price

Posted: Wednesday November 20, 2024 1:15pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

For the first time ever, TRON Lightcycle Run at Magic Kingdom is set to drop below $20 for Lightning Lane Single Pass pricing tomorrow, November 21, 2024.

The record low of $19 marks a shift in the attraction's pricing strategy, which has maintained a minimum price of $20 since its debut as an Individual Attraction Purchase during the Genie+ era.

Historical Pricing Patterns

Since its opening, TRON Lightcycle Run remained fixed at $20 under Genie+ Individual Attraction Purchase and has followed a consistent dynamic pricing model under Lightning Lane Single Pass, typically ranging between $20 and $22. Tomorrow's price of $19 sets a new record low, signaling Disney's continued experimentation with demand-based pricing. 

Why This Matters

First Price Drop Below $20: TRON has never been priced this low, offering guests an unexpected opportunity to experience Magic Kingdom's newest thrill ride at a slightly reduced cost.

Dynamic Pricing Trends: The shift below $20 reflects a broader trend of Disney using dynamic pricing to manage guest demand, potentially testing new pricing strategies ahead of the busy Thanksgiving and Christmas period.

TRON's Popularity and Crowd Dynamics

TRON Lightcycle Run remains one of Magic Kingdom's most popular attractions, with Lightning Lane passes frequently selling out on weekends and high-demand dates. However, as the holiday season approaches, Disney appears to be optimizing pricing to balance demand across multiple high-profile attractions, including Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance.

Low Prices Elsewhere

November 21 is also set for equally record low prices for all other Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass purchases. Although there are no new record lows beyond TRON, this period before Thanksgiving offers guests some of the lowest prices for Disney's paid ride reservation system.

I was also there last week. Went to AK on 11/13. Didn't ride FOP, but under 5 min wait for Safari, Everest, dino, and triceratops. I waited 12 mins for Navi at the end of the night. MK of 11/14 (party day). I did LL for most attractions, but 10ish min wait for Buzz and small world. Finally EPCOT on 11/16 was actually busy, we LL everything but Frozen and remy were both posed over 70 mins when we rode and SSE and Soain were both 20+.

You must be mistaken. We were just told by people in the parks 2 weeks ago that they were packed, lines were long, and dining reservations difficult to obtain. Are you sure Tron wasn’t 85 minutes and your rose-colored glasses aren’t altering your memories to push an agenda? 😉

Yes, agreed! We were just there last week and ALL waits were pretty low. Low enough to where we didn’t pay anything ride related, but still managed to ride all we wanted - sometimes multiple times . The longest line in waited in was tron, which was 35 mins. Easy peasy.

I guess a little bit of that old money was spent. Wonder if they got a good interest rate.

We had a 21 month old with us and really had no interest in SM or Mission space for this trip MK: 11/14/24: Track 1: 8:30am HM>1:55 Peter Pan> noticed SM was broken, booked it x2 for ME passes while down(1 used for JC, 1 went unused)> 4:40pm Mermaid Track 2: 9:30am Pooh>11:15am Buzz> 12:30pm Big Thunder> Basically instant Pirates (kept pushing until we wanted to ride)> 4:20pm Barnstormer (didn't use) Track 3: 3:15pm Tiana>3:30 Carpets>4:40pm Dumbo Also Standby: Tiki room, Country Bears, Small World, people mover EPCOT 11/16/24: Track 1: 9:30am Nemo>Soarin was pretty instant, but pushed to 11:40ish> Track 2: 10:50am SSE>11:30am Living with the Land> noticed Figment was broken turned into ME (unused)> Keep moving figment back, to whatever time I wanted, but never ended up using it Track 3: 12:05 Frozen>5:30pm Remy Standby of Grand fiesta tour. Also, side note went to AK on 11/13, there was no need for LLMP. We didn't ride FOP, but our longest wait of the day was 11 mins for Navi.

Unless money was a make or break decision. Why would anyone want to wait in line willingly when there is another option?

Yep been there 😂 I won’t say getting both LLs is impossible but you would likely have to try multiple times throughout the day. When my kids were younger, we would rope drop one and LL the other.

We could but with a 5 and 4 year old, we try to avoid 45+ minute waits lol. We do have extra magic hours on Monday when we go next month so we will probably try to hit those two rides for sure.

Remy sometimes has a 1:48pm drop time. It's not every day but it's your best shot if Remy is sold out for the day
