TRON is an attraction five years in the making. The attraction originated as an opening day attraction at Shanghai Disney and now at the very conclusion of 50th celebration at Walt Disney World has found its way to Tomorrowland at the Magic Kingdom.

If you are on the far side of your seat, you need to walk around the back to board. Disney tried to optimize things, but it wouldn't be surprising to see many guests confused by this.

The restraint system seems to be similar to other Vekoma Booster bikes. You want to slide forward as much as possible and pull the metal bar handlebar down to lock. My only remark is I am surprised the handlebars were metal and didn't contain some rubber grip to be a bit more comfortable. Besides that, the ride vehicle is fine.

On exit to the right is a special area to catch your breath if needed. Up the ramp takes you out.
