We’ve all got that one ride that we can’t wait to get on when we visit Disney World!
And with over 25 attractions to choose from, it can feel like there isn’t enough time to do them all. But today, let’s focus on one ride in particular. Let’s talk about TRON Lightcycle / Run in Magic Kingdom and why, for some reason, all of us Disney Adults can stop asking for a specific row when we get on it!
We reached out to our followers on Facebook to ask: “Which row do you request when you ride TRON Lightcycle / Run?” We had quite a few people leave their opinions in the comments!
Now, let’s dive into the responses!
The Front (Row 1)
As the case is with every thrill ride, there are a lot of people who only come alive when there’s nothing between them and the front of the coaster but the wind that rips through their hair. So, yes. Some people always request row 1 of TRON Lightcycle / Run. (Roughly half of you responded this way.)
Let’s have a look at your responses:
- “1..always 1!!!”
- “Front row… takeoff is intense!!”
- “There’s nothing like front row, at night – completely different experience”
- “The front! Absolutely, unquestionably front. You are ‘all alone’, except for the slow poke beside you trying to keep up, you are cruising through all by yourself. It’s all bout you. You are the invincible master of the universe. ‘Well, that’s the way it is for programs, yes’”
We completely agree with you. Here are a couple of those reasons:
- It’s so cool to see everything first before it happens
- It’s more believable that you’re actually riding a Lightcycle
The Adaptive Seating Row
With what feels like the other side of the coin, there are also a lot of people who choose only to ride in the adaptive seating row of TRON Lightcycle / Run. (Basically, the other half of you responded this way.)
Most of the seats on this roller coaster are motorcycle seats. You straddle the seat, lean forward and hold on to handle bars, and the restraints lock over your back and the back of your calves. This can be uncomfortable for some people for a variety of reasons. So, some of the TRON vehicles have a bench seat in the back. And apparently, a lot of you prefer it!
Let’s have a look at your responses:
- “Prefer the back seat over the bike, lot more comfortable”
- “Seated row end of the night… it’s all to yourself and it’s amazing!”
- “The last seat. I have motion sickness but really wanted to get on it. It was sooo worth it”
- “The car with seats. It is awesome that those with medical issues that stop them from riding the cycles can still go on the ride. It was awesome!”
As you can see, the reasons for choosing the back (Row 7) are as nuanced as can be imagined.
Here are a couple of those reasons:
- Overall comfort (or rather discomfort with the motorcycle-style seating)
- Struggling with motion sickness
- Need an alternative seating arrangement due to medical issues
- Generally just love the feel from the last row
How To Request a Certain Row
Now, if you do want to request a certain row on TRON, you can. To do that, just speak to a Cast Member when you reach the boarding area. If you do decide to request a row for a ride, understand that it could make your wait longer — the Cast Member may ask you to step to the side to wait for a new vehicle. This could be especially true if you’re requesting the adaptive seating in the back — because not every ride vehicle has them.
