The Tron franchise continues at Disney Parks—in attraction form, that is. Walt Disney World’s long-awaited Tron Lightcycle / Run debuts in the Magic Kingdom on April 4. It’s the second version of the ride, the first being the Shanghai Disneyland attraction which opened with the park back in 2016.

Tron: Legacy followed its predecessor in becoming a cult film, thanks in no small part to the immaculate score by Daft Punk.
