TRON Lightcycle Run will open a third Virtual Queue for the first time tonight as part of the Extended Evening Theme Park hours at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom.

Guests staying at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel will have another chance to ride TRON during Extended Evening Hours

An additional opportunity to request to join the Virtual Queue will be available at 6pm on April 5, as a benefit for registered guests staying at a Disney Deluxe Resort, Disney Deluxe Villa Resort, or other select hotels (see below).

You do not need to be in Magic Kingdom to request to join the 6pm Virtual Queue. You will need valid admission and a theme park reservation for the same park on the same day to experience extended evening hours, or if you have a ticket or Annual Pass with the Park Hopper option and first enter the park for which you made your reservation.

Entering the main queue at TRON Lightcycle Run

Both the 7am and 1pm Virtual Queue at TRON have been reaching capacity within seconds, and the 6pm opening is likely to be no different. You should plan to join the queue at exactly 6pm.

Magic Kingdom Extended Evening Hours for today are from 11pm to 1am. The next Extended Evening Hours opportunity at magic Kingdom following April 5 is April 12, 2023.

You're completely right. Idk how it slipped to me that TBA will be opening around that time. :D Of course there's still a small probability that Tron may keep its VQ, but very unlikely.

Well, June is the approximate time frame when Tiana's Bayou Adventure will be open, so this year MK should be busier than June last year, I would think. The other consideration is that once it opens, will Tron even have a VQ any longer? Probably not. The VQ will probably shift to Tiana assuming it is open to the general public and no longer in a preview period. Sounds like people are reporting the preview period will be starting June 9, we just don't know how long it will last. Once it officially opens, at that point, a regular standby queue should be available for Tron so for anyone wanting a night ride, they can just walk up shortly before the park closes. But for mid-June, I would have to guess the Tron VQ and ILL will still be active.
