TRON Lightcycle / Run blends speed, visual effects, music and a one-of-a-kind ride system to create an experience like no other.Getting on to the bike itself might be tricky for some depending on your size and flexibility, but there are sample bikes outside on the concourse for you to try before entering the main area. The setup resembles Avatar Flight of Passage, so if you’ve gone on that you should be fine.

Lightcycle’s thrilling takeoff will leave you gasping, but unlike other Disney coasters — the Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith at Hollywood Studios comes to mind — you don’t go upside-down and there aren’t any huge drops.
