How Disney movies inspired TRON Lightcycle / Run

When Walt Disney Pictures released TRON in 1982, it ushered in an era of computer-generated visual effects with its innovative combination of live action and computer animation. In 2010, TRON: Legacy brought even more cutting-edge special effects to the big screen to expand on the vast universe of the Grid. The unique light displays and electronic soundscapes of TRON’S digital universe come to dazzling life in TRON Lightcycle / Run, as you enter one of the TRON saga’s iconic Lightcycle races in a competition against Programs that aim to win—and delete you in the process!

How the score was created for TRON Lightcycle / Run

The music for the TRON universe went to the next level with a best-selling soundtrack by Daft Punk for TRON: Legacy. Now, acclaimed composer Joseph Trapanese has brought his pulse-pounding combo of orchestral and electronic music to an entirely original score for TRON Lightcycle / Run. Every twist, turn and drop immerses you in a dramatic soundscape that makes you feel like you’re riding through a movie! The music has become so popular, it’s even available to stream on Spotify.

What you’ll experience on TRON Lightcycle / Run

From the moment you approach the ultra-modern design of TRON Lightcycle / Run, you enter a sci-fi story where you’re the hero. Every Guest who rides is a “User” who joins Team Blue in the Lightcycle races. The goal is to collect Energy Gates and defeat the Programs on Team Orange. But you aren’t just playing a game at Flynn’s Arcade, of course: you enter the Grid, the computer universe, by getting digitized. Once you’ve successfully entered the Grid, you can store your belongings in lockers before loading onto your Lightcycle. Users get strapped in leaning forward and holding onto the handlebars to give you the full, exhilarating feeling of riding a cycle at top speed! Ride the Lightcycle into the Upload Conduit, where you go up, up, up into “the Ring”… and then, let the games begin! You’ve got to make some turns and drops to avoid the villainous Team Orange, but If you can defeat them, you’ll be a hero to the whole Grid.
