TRON Lightcycle Run overview

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.

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.

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.

Seems the Individual Lightning Lane went much faster today - via Thrill Data.

Perhaps they should have a specific booking window for people who want to ride after dark. They can distribute anticipated daytime capacity at 7AM and 1PM and then have a window at 4PM (or some other time) where the return groups will be after dark. That way people can either try to secure a spot at the earlier drops or risk no spot at all in order to get a ride after dark if they get one.
7am drop lasted for 3.503 secs.

BG's 1-15 called at 8:45am as part of the initial wave.
Will there be a 6 PM drop today? I will be going in 4 weeks and hoping to be able to get a group for EMH

Yes, there will be - here's a look at the Virtual Queue section for that.

They have that. It is the ILL selection.
If you are staying at a resort hotel, especially the monorail ones the you have no excuses, if you plan to ride Tron using the VQ then you have two hours from booking at 7am to get to MK, even walking from Poly via GF will take no more than an hour at a stroll.
I do sympathise with those who are travelling by car from an hour or two away, but, if you are planning to do Tron, again, you allow extra time to get there, what is hard in being a bit organised?

I am curious how quick they will go! The 6 PM queue, you don't have to be in the park right?
↩ replying to arich35
Correct. I'm going to say 4 seconds. :)

^chose green for the third drop to represent Team Green aka Enterprise sponsorship!
Early sell out again for ILL this morning, day guests out of luck. (If that’s what you can call spending $20 to ride)
