Disney World Announces Opening of Tron Lightcycle , New Fireworks Shows

Tron Lightcycle Run opening date + what’s Next for Walt Disney World Nighttime Spectaculars

After a cryptic social media post that had many of us guessing as to the opening date of TRON Lightcycle, Walt Disney World officially announced that this highly anticipated Magic Kingdom coaster will open April 4, 2023!

According to the Walt Disney World announcement, when guests enter the queue at Magic Kingdom, they’ll feel as if they've been digitized and transported to the Grid for a special Lightcycle race.

It will be Team Blue against the Grid’s menacing Programs, Team Orange.

Your goal is to be the first to race through eight Energy Gates and secure victory.

The attraction will be one of the fastest coasters at any Disney theme park in the world.

Before the attraction officially opens, preview opportunities will be coming for guests too, including Annual Passholders and eligible Disney Vacation Club Members.

What’s Next for Walt Disney World Nighttime Spectaculars

An all-new nighttime spectacular is planned to debut at EPCOT later this year. Before the new show launches, Walt Disney World will bring back ‘EPCOT Forever’ as an interim show over the skies of World Showcase Lagoon starting April 3.

Similar to how it appeared in 2021, ‘EPCOT Forever’ is the perfect offering while Disney’s Entertainment team preps the Lagoon, including a phased removal of fireworks platforms following the final ‘Harmonious’ performance on April 2.

A limited-time spectacle of lasers, lighting, special effects, and fireworks, ‘EPCOT Forever returns with a collection of songs that offer both a trip down memory lane and a look toward the future.
