Tron Lightcycle Power Run is the name of the rollercoaster attraction at Disneyland in Shanghai, which opened in 2016. A video shows what visitors can expect: a fast-paced ride with all kinds of light effects.

At Disneyland in the Chinese metropolis of Shanghai, visitors can look forward to some spectacular attractions, and one roller coaster is a highlight: Tron Lightcycle Power Run.

Speed of up to 60 mph

As a video on YouTube now shows, the ride on the coaster is a wild ride through narrow tubes full of animated lighting effects, with one breakneck curve after the next. The testers in the video certainly enjoyed the ride on the Tron Lightcycle Power Run at up to 60 mph.

The roller coaster was inspired by the 80s Disney cult film “TRON.” In the film, the scientist Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges) finds himself in a digital world where he tries to get back home in a fight for survival and in a race against powerful enemies. The film set standards as one of the first to feature computer animation.

Wagons Designed as Futuristic Motorcycles

The rollercoaster vehicles were, of course, also modeled on those from the film and look like futuristic motorcycles. Fans will remember them from the spectacular chases.

As you would expect from Disneyland, almost everything revolves around the famous film and comic characters. The park is divided into “Adventure Isle,” “Fantasyland,” “Gardens of Imagination,” “Treasure Cove,” and “Tomorrowland,” where the Tron roller coaster is also located.
