Worlds are colliding on the Grid as TRON Lightcycle Run at Walt Disney World and Shanghai Disneyland prepares for a dramatic new overlay celebrating the upcoming film TRON: Ares, hitting theaters October 10.
A New Look for the Grid
Starting September 15 at Magic Kingdom and September 16 at Shanghai Disneyland, the high-speed attraction will swap its signature neon blue glow for a striking crimson red. The updated experience will be paired with an industrial soundtrack featuring music from Nine Inch Nails, giving riders an adrenaline-pumping journey that mirrors the intensity of the film.
A Cinematic Connection
The TRON: Ares overlay connects the parks directly to the next chapter of the Tron story, blending Disney’s cutting-edge ride technology with the franchise’s iconic digital frontier. This limited-time update is designed to immerse guests in the atmosphere of the new film, making the Lightcycle experience feel even more like stepping into the world of TRON.
What to Expect
Guests can look forward to glowing red light trails streaking across the Grid, a re-energized audio experience, and a darker, more intense visual aesthetic that sets the stage for TRON: Ares. The overlay brings a bold new edge to one of Disney’s most technologically advanced attractions.
Disney has teased that this is just the beginning of celebrations tied to the film’s release, so fans should watch closely for even more updates as the premiere date approaches.
