Everything we saw at Tron Lightcycle/Run's official opening at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom

Our local Mouse house has finally unveiled a very long-awaited addition: Tron Lightcycle/Run roller coaster, the Magic Kingdom's fastest ride ever.

Tron Lightcycle/Run, a motorbike-styled coaster based on the cult-favorite 1982 sci-fi film (and its so-so sequel), officially launched at the Magic Kingdom on April 4, a mere 2,089 days after it was first announced. With a top speed of nearly 60 miles per hour and a 48-inch minimum height requirement, Tron pushes the thrill envelope for the park's kid-friendly demographic, and the curvilinear canopy its illuminated trains race around nicely complements the iconic modernist geometry of Space Mountain beside it.

In other words, Tron is easily the most attractive new "weenie" the Magic Kingdom has added since the now-closed Splash Mountain opened over 30 years ago.
