TRON Lightcycle Run Jumps Up to 105 Minute Wait at Park Open for First Day of Standby Line

TRON Lightcycle / Run kicked the day off by racing up to a short-lived 105-minute wait just after park open at Magic Kingdom today, its first day of offering a standby wait for the ride.

First Day of Standby Wait for TRON Lightcycle Run

A large crowd of people is walking toward a theme park entrance under a partly cloudy sky with the sun shining through.

We got into the park and started making our way to Tomorrowland before park open, joining the throngs of people also trying their luck with standby.

A large crowd of people, some with strollers, walk through a theme park area with futuristic architecture under a partly cloudy sky.

At one point, some guests were even running (don’t run in the parks!) to make it to where the standby line would eventually begin.

We joined the queue at 8:59 a.m., right next to Tomorrowland Launch Depot.

The end of the line at this point ran all the way back by the Thirst Rangers spaceship and stretched past Tomorrowland Speedway.

When Magic Kingdom opened this morning, TRON Lightcycle / Run was initially posted at a 45-minute wait. Not too bad for the first day of standby. But this didn’t last long.

By the time we got to the actual ride’s entrance around 9:10 a.m., the wait time sign nearby stated that the line had jumped up to a 105-minute wait — the longest wait for any attraction at Walt Disney World at that time.

That being said, while we were near the sign, we watched the wait change three times, from 40 to 60, and finally 105 minutes. When it’s still so early in the park and few have actually boarded and disembarked the ride, it can be tricky to tell exactly how long the wait is.

People are standing under a large, modern structure with metal beams and a mesh covering, surrounded by greenery. The standby line for the TRON Lightcycle ride has a 105 minute wait.

We reached the point of the queue under the canopy after about 13 minutes of waiting. By about 9:21 a.m., the wait had dropped to 90 minutes. As of the time of publishing, 9:37 a.m., the wait is now posted at 70 minutes.

We’ll keep you updated on how long it takes us to make our way through the queue, as well as wait times progressing throughout the day.
