The long-awaited Tron ride debuts April 4 at Walt Disney World’s Tomorrowland in Florida.

The attraction has been under construction for years in Tomorrowland, on land adjacent to Space Mountain and the Tomorrowland Speedway. That work also disrupted operation of the Walt Disney World Railroad that passes by the Tron site; the train returned to operation last month and now goes through a tunnel as it approached the new ride.
Disney described the Tron ride as a “roller-coaster-style” attraction. It is capped with a “curved wave” canopy. The vehicles are motorbike-inspired and resemble vehicles in the “Tron” movies. Riders lean forward and grip handlebars, while a pad secures passengers from behind. The Shanghai ride reaches 59.3 mph, according to Roller Coaster Data Base.
