Breaking news! Disney teases the opening of Tron, and we think we know it!
Tron
Tron Lightcycle Power Run roller coaster was first introduced to guests at Shanghai Disneyland Resorts. In this thrilling attraction, riders hop aboard motorcycle-style ride vehicles as they speed through the dark ride. It’s even more exciting because it is one of the fastest indoor coasters in the history of Disney’s parks.
The attraction is based on Disney’s 1982 film TRON. The movie is the first film to combine live-action sequences with computer-generated and animated elements. Each day seems to point to another sign of the attraction opening. See the latest progress for Disney’s TRON Lightcycle Run HERE.
We recently shared the confirmed height requirement HERE.
Teaser
Disney just posted (what we think is) a teaser for the opening of Tron. In the tweet, it reads “need a clu?” with a rankings scoreboard. Assuming they are teasing the opening date like they did for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, we began to dig deep into the tweet.
At first, it looks like nothing, but taking a closer look I think we may have an opening date for Tron!
On the second line it reads US, plus the number 13,212,023. If you take away the commas it reads 132122023. Let’s look at this with dates. The last four numbers are 2023, the current year. Ahead of that you see 21. Maybe the 21st day? Then in front of that is a 3 and 1. It looks like they are teasing the opening to be April (the 4th month) 21, 2023!
On the 5th row you see the opening date for Magic Kingdom: 10/01/1971 and row 6 shows the opening of Disneyland: 7/17/1955. It also looks like Cast Member previews will be April 4-8, 2023.
There are also some other hidden dates like the opening of Tron in Shanghai and the debut of Tron Legacy. Take a look at the tweet below to see for yourself:
Of course, this is not an official announcement from Disney by any means, but it is fun to look at the numbers and see if we can get a better timeline! What do you think? What are your guesses based off the teaser? Let us know in the comments below!
Share the love!

Tron in Shanghai is really fun and fast - very enjoyable, and I am TERRIFIED of coasters! I think it’s the position in which you ride - it’s keeps the stomach from moving around so much with every twist and turn. Although I was scared, I had to do it at the time (Jan 2020), because when else would I have the opportunity! Anyway, I can’t wait to take my nephew on the US ride once it opens - I’ll finally be able to go on a thrill ride with him!
