Disney Sets Limited-Time 'Tron: Ares' Overlays for TRON Coasters

The film tie-in refresh debuts in mid-September with red-and-orange visuals and a Nine Inch Nails soundtrack.

Overview

  • Disney announced at Destination D23 that TRON Lightcycle / Run at Magic Kingdom and TRON Lightcycle Power Run in Shanghai will launch the overlay on September 15 and 16, respectively.
  • The update replaces the attractions’ familiar blue-and-orange look with red and orange light trails and new tunnel effects tied to Tron: Ares.
  • Industrial music from Nine Inch Nails will power the ride audio during the overlay, aligning the experience with the upcoming film’s score.
  • Disney describes the change as a limited-time offering and has not provided an end date; the overlay promotes Tron: Ares, which opens October 10.
  • Separately, recent photos show dirt, grime, and rust on TRON’s white canopy and entrance at Magic Kingdom, reviving maintenance concerns that follow a major cleaning conducted in late 2023; Disney has not announced new remediation tied to these reports.
