TRON: Ares Overlay at Magic Kingdom Reported to End in January

Cast Members report a January shutdown with no confirmed date from Disney.

Overview

  • Employees at TRON Lightcycle / Run say the film tie-in version is slated to conclude in January 2026, though they could not provide an exact date.
  • Disney has not issued an official statement on the removal or whether any elements of the overlay will remain.
  • Guests have observed the red lighting effects diminishing or being tested, prompting a rush to ride the limited version.
  • Introduced in September 2025, the overlay swapped the ride’s blue glow for red, added a new Master Control narration, featured a Nine Inch Nails soundtrack, and updated the on-ride photo.
  • Some outlets speculate the timing may align with the film’s home-release window in early January, but that connection remains unconfirmed.
