As a seasoned Disney park veteran who has braved the infamous virtual queues more times than I care to remember, it’s a breath of fresh air to see Tron: Lightcycle Run finally ditching the virtual queue and offering a standby line with reasonable wait times. It’s not every day that you can say you’ve waited less time for a new ride at Disney World than for the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train!
At Walt Disney World, the latest attraction, Tron: Lightcycle Run, debuted using a Virtual Queue system. Instead of waiting in line like traditional attractions, guests needed to use the Disney World app and try to secure a Boarding Group. This process might interfere with other plans, as not everyone could get a Virtual Queue slot when Tron opened – it was quite challenging.
From next Monday onwards, there’s a shift in the way things operate: Tron: Lightcycle Run, after more than a year of functioning, has done away with its virtual queue system. Now, visitors have two options – they can either opt for an Individual Lightning Lane at a cost to bypass the line, or they can just join the regular queue. Despite being the latest attraction at the busiest theme park globally, waiting in line for Tron isn’t as dreadful as one might expect.
Tron: Lightcylce Run’s Wait Time Has Been Less Than Seven Dwarfs Mine Train And Other Attractions
Unlike what many might anticipate, the newly opened ride at Disney World, Lightcycle Run, hasn’t been plagued with long queues following its virtual queue ending. Although it saw a spike in wait times right after opening on Monday morning, since then, the lines have noticeably shortened. Interestingly, Lightcycle Run has experienced wait times that are even shorter than some of the more popular rides. At this moment, the wait for Lightcycle Run is 35 minutes compared to the 45-minute wait for Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.
Beyond the borders of Magic Kingdom, things appear even more bare. The two attractions within Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge are currently experiencing wait times exceeding an hour. It’s quite astonishing, really, to find that the latest ride in the park is experiencing such minimal queues. I suppose this helps explain why the Virtual Queue was discontinued.
“This isn’t typical when Virtual Queues conclude, but when Rise of the Resistance ended, wait times were consistently several hours.
Why Is Tron: Lightcycle Run Seeing Such Low Wait Times?
As a gamer (or Disney park enthusiast), I’ve noticed something quite intriguing about Tron’s wait times. A significant factor contributes to this, and that’s the relatively low crowd levels at Walt Disney World during this season. Once school resumes, things tend to calm down, at least in comparison to Disney World’s usual bustle. Even heavyweight attractions like Avatar: Flight of Passage are currently sporting a 45-minute wait, which is surprisingly less than the typical high crowd times.
The reason for the short overall wait time is clear. However, longer wait times for certain attractions present a different picture. It could be due, in part, to the fact that not everyone meets the height requirement for Tron: Lightcycle Run – one of our more intense rides, which has a taller-than-average height restriction compared to other attractions at the resort. This restriction might contribute to longer wait times for this specific ride.
Despite some potential waiting time, it’s generally fantastic news as it suggests fewer hassles for visitors eager to ride one of the latest and top-rated attractions at Disney World. A queue line with manageable wait times implies that a larger number of people will have the opportunity to enjoy this new experience without much fuss.
