Disney has provided updated information on the use of virtual queues at TRON Lightcycle Run at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom.

A standby line will not be available at TRON Lightcyle Run

Notably, Disney will be using the virtual queue during Extended Evening Theme Park hours when available for guests staying at Deluxe Disney resort hotels. The first Extended Evening Hours at Magic Kingdom after the opening of TRON is April 5 2023.

A standby line will not be available, and Lightning Lane access will only be possible via an Individual Attraction purchase, with pricing to be announced.

TRON will be available during Extended Evening Theme Park hours

TRON Lightcycle Run virtual queue openings

Here are all the TRON Lightcycle virtual queue times:

7:00am (Guests do not need to be in the park when they join, but must have a theme park reservation for Magic Kingdom park)
1:00pm (Guests must be in Magic Kingdom park to join the virtual queue)
6:00pm - An additional opportunity to request to join the virtual queue will be available at 6:00 PM on select dates during extended evening theme park hours––a benefit for registered Guests staying at a Disney Deluxe Resort, Disney Deluxe Villa Resort or other select hotels. Guests with this benefit do not need to be in Magic Kingdom park to request to join at that time.

Guests will need to use the My Disney Experience app to enter this attraction. A standby queue will not be available. Each Guest can request to enter the virtual queue no more than once per day during regular park hours. Guests must have valid admission and a theme park reservation to join the virtual queue.

Extended Theme Park Hours guests will need valid admission and a theme park reservation for the same park on the same day to experience extended evening hours—or they may experience extended evening hours if they have a ticket or Annual Pass with the Park Hopper option and first enter the park for which they made their reservation.

TRON Lightcycle Run will open to all guests on April 4 2023

Cross-posting to here, but Tron just had its worst day operationally since the ride opened, and it just celebrated its first anniversary/birthday last week! Here are the top 3 days with the most downtime: April 9, 2024 (today) with 467 mins (~8hrs) of downtime July 12, 2023 with 392 mins (~7hrs) of downtime Sept 24, 2023 with 370 (~6hrs) mins of downtime Tron usually has very good uptime and reliability, so these kind of bad days are very rare. Today's problems stem from yesterday (4/8) where it shut down around 4pm and never reopened for the rest of the day. That continued 'til today until it finally reopened at 1pm, but then went down again for another 3 hours. Only 100 BGs were called today. Good news (kinda) is MK doesn't seem to be that busy as the morning and afternoon VQ windows lasted for minutes today, which is longer than the norm.

No one told me I was supposed to be reviewing the rides on Yelp

It has a 4.3 on yelp. For comparison, Space Mountain also has 4.3. So does Big Thunder. Jungle Cruise has 3.7. Haunted Mansion was better: 4.5. EDIT: This article from Christmastime 2023 also gives context.

Okay.

Like every modern DIsney ride - way too short, rather than the epic attractions they once built. Probably with an eye on keeping the queues down, rather than building a ride that has legacy for all time. If Jungle Cruise, Pirates etc were built today they would last a minute.

Tron looks cool in Tomorrowland, but the ride itself is just short and meh imo. Wish it wasn’t a cookie cutter attraction and was enhanced or expanded from the original.

My two complaints: It feels like the portion from load to launch, and from end break to unload is longer than the actual ride and the fact it brakes so hard entering the show building. It's like it teases you outside with the visible launch and then you hit the brake and slow waaaaay down. It's almost like "ah-ha! fooled you. Ya thought it was all high speed coaster!"

To me, TRON is fun, but it needs like 15 more seconds and one more thrill, like a drop. The feeling of a drop in that position on the bike would probably feel insane.

I don't hate it. Just too short of a ride for the amount of time you wait. Takeoff and 1st turn is exciting but that's about it. RnRC and Velosicoster does it better. I just wouldn't wait long for it. Would be a nice LL pickup. And I like Mission Space.

The short ride time is a common complaint among surveyed guests. I'd expect that to become even more common once the VQ goes away.

It's been very reliable. There's only a handful of days where the ride has been down for an "extended period". I believe this and GOTG: CR have been superb for their uptime throughout the park days.
