TRON Lightcycle Run

[Nick]

I went on a relatively dead day and vq still sold out in like 3 seconds. I suspect before 1 the supply is just very low. I did buy a lightning lane for guardians but only because I was doing a single day and would have no way really to make the ride work with park hopping. I wish they would allow earlier park hopping again so I could ride it without paying.

Well, perhaps earlier park hopping will be back over time. After 2pm, APs no longer need to make reservations unless it's MK on a Saturday or something like that. Hopefully they continue to change policies going forward where they just flat out remove the 2pm bar for hopping over to another park if you come at park open no matter what ticket you have.

It's possible they do that for APs, however with other passes, i'm not sure we'll see it removed since I think part of the point is that it forces you to spend a good amount of time in a certain park before going over to the other park, which I think is their way of sort of getting guests to continue to do 4-5 day stays. WDW can comfortably be done (with Genie+ of course at MK at least) in no longer than 4 days. Honestly, it'd probably be possible to do the 4 parks at WDW in 3 days and feel like you did pretty much everything, then spend 3 or so days at UOR.

Once Epic opens, I can easily see UOR becoming the 4 day resort and WDW becoming the 3 day resort and DAK simply getting chopped from a lot of people's vacations in terms of people who do split vacations.

Interesting personal observation today. We got to Epcot at 1:30 or so and we’re hoping there would still be a few GOTG reservations left. They were all gone unfortunately, but there was still Tron reservations which I thought was odd.

We got on both monorails just in time and got into MK just after 2 and was able to secure group 197, which will probably be sometime around 9-10 based on current wait time.

Maybe this isn’t normal, but was surprised they were still available at this time of day for the park’s brand new ride on a Saturday.

Slight update, it seems to be Epcot day for the Dapper Day crowd so this could be partially effecting things

Finally rode this after having ridden it a few times in Shanghai. Something felt off and like it was missing something. Couldn't put my finger on it but from its placement, the queue, the music... Still a fun short ride though and launch was more intense than I remembered.

Finally got to ride this. Slapped down my $20 to do so. It just worked better with our schedule and me not wanting to miss out on an hour of park time with my wife and almost 3 year old.

It was fun. The reveal at the top of the load station was very cool. I asked for the front since I was pretty sure this was going to be my only ride for our trip.

I didn’t find the seat uncomfortable and was surprised by how easily I got in based on internet comments. But I’m 5-10 and 165.

The launch is still undoubtedly the best part of the ride very fun. Then once inside it reminded me a lot of rockin roller coaster with out the inversions. A lot of swoops. Wish there was more to look at ala guardians.

I got a virtual queue 3 other times and never made it over to reride if that tells you anything. Just didn’t want to miss about an hour of park time-basing that off guardians which took me 40 mins from the time I entered the line till I boarded. Then with ride time and reuniting it was about an hour. One return window was during the noon run of Fantasy which I could have done but I didn’t want to miss watching my daughter watch the parade.

So an ok coaster but a great addition to the park. The ride experience is still very unique as many people don’t have this type of coaster close to their homes. Once Tiana opens it should help spread crowds with Tron, Seven Dwarfs, and Space all up and running.

Now guardians I got a virtual queue and paid for a lightning lane. LOVE that thing.

Finally going to be able to ride this in a few weeks! Really stoked!

I have a dumb question to ask. I'm gonna park hop between Epcot, MK and hopefully AK to squeeze in FoP and EE. I know both Cosmic Rewind and Tron are both using VQs. If I snag a boarding group for Guardians and buy a LL, I should in theory be able to also buy one LL for Tron right? Bare in mind I have a park hopper reserving Epcot for my first park.

I really want to ride Guardians twice but I'm confident that if I get one ride on Tron, I'll be happy.

If you do a multipark Genie+ then yes. If you lock yourself to one park then no.

Ugh. Such a headache. Thank you for the head's up though!

Do I have to wait until the day of my trip to get Genie Plus or can I buy it a day in advance. I've legit never used it before but I guess I have to now. Does it sell out?

To make things more complicated, I have a park hopper, but my sister who's going with me doesn't because she's going to leave early for a concert. She intends to only spend half a day at Epcot then leave. I'm planning on doing Tron solo.

You need to buy genie plus from midnight through any time in the next day hours, but the selections are going to be starting at 7am for the lowest waits.and reservations.

I think it is stupid, short sighted, and greedy to have any major tourist draw like disney to have day to day in person dynamic pricing. People who go to Disney often buy meal plans that cost them more money just because they are too stupid or lazy to budget their meals. Just put it all in a package that seems "cheap" for people who can't budget.

Hate saying this, but you might have to start your day off at MK. Tron boarding groups go away much faster than GOTG. So if you start your day off at Epcot, you'll have to pray that it'll still be open by the time you are allowed to park hop.

Safe bet is 7AM boarding group for Tron, 1PM group for GOTG and snag a LL for GOTG.

As for DAK, check the weather first, but after 4PM the park starts to die off. Wait-times are exaggerated for FOP, especially near park close.
