TRON Lightcycle / Run is opening in Magic Kingdom SOON (in fact, it’s opening sooner than we thought!), and a new ride means CHANGES in other parts of the park.

The TRON coaster will make use of a virtual queue and will also have an Individual Lightning Lane option if you want to pay to skip the line. Previously, when a new ride has opened in a park, the existing ride that used an Individual Lightning Lane swapped to be part of the normal Disney Genie+. Now, Disney has released an update on what will happen in Magic Kingdom once TRON opens.
Currently, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is the only ride in Magic Kingdom that uses an Individual Lightning Lane. There are several rides that are part of Disney Genie+, but only Seven Dwarfs had the pay-per-ride option. According to Scott Gustin on Twitter, Seven Dwarfs will NOT be switching to the regular Disney Genie+ once TRON opens.
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
Scott said, “Seven Dwarfs Mine Train will remain available for purchase via Individual Lightning Lane when TRON soft opens on March 20 and officially opens on April 4.” So once TRON opens, there will be TWO pay-per-ride attractions in Magic Kingdom.

Remember that Disney Genie+ is the new(ish) way to skip the lines at many Disney attractions. You pay a set price (between $15 and $29 per person, per day) and then reserve Lightning Lanes throughout the day so that you’re able to bypass the standby lines. The most popular rides in each park, however, are part of the pay-per-ride system instead of the normal Genie+.

For these rides, you must pay a separate, extra fee in order to skip the line. Currently, the pay-per-ride attractions are Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewins, Avatar — Flight of Passage, and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. Adding TRON Lightcycle / Run into the mix will mean that Magic Kingdom is the only park with two pay-per-ride attractions.

TRON Lightcycle / Run officially opens on April 4th, 2023, but it will have a soft opening from March 20th through April 2nd. It will NOT be open on April 3rd.

GREED, GREED DISNEY. You pay $107 to enter any park. For $107, you can use the BATHROOMS AND WAIT ON LINES FOR 8 HOURS TO GO ON 5 OR 6 RIDES. A
It was always going to be two ILL per park so nothing new really. Just Disney making more pennies.
I don’t mind paying. What I mind is having to be a phone phreak all phreaking day long starting at 7AM. Not only for rides, but even for restaurant menus! Not sure I’ll be going back under these circumstances.
Its expensive to get to Disney from the UK, higher priced park passes and now pay per ride as well its really not acceptable, I agree with the comments about having to be on your phone all the time for rides, attractions and menus, come on we are meant to be on holiday, having family time not phone time, so irritating. Starting to think my DVC is not worth it anymore.
We sold our DVC membership after 15 years because Disney is at the ridiculous point now , park pass price gone up and then you need to pay for Genie+ and then pay for what used to be a free fast pass . Not family oriented any more just a very expensive money grab. Shame on you Disney !
