TRON Lightcycle Run

The TRON Lightcycle Run is an upcoming rollercoaster that will be located in Tomorrowland in the Magic Kingdom and will be an indoor/outdoor hybrid coaster. It's based on the TRON films and has a futuristic feel to it. The ride will allow visitors to "experience the energy, lights, and excitement of TRON's high-tech universe" in a "thrilling race through the digital frontier," according to Disney. The ride vehicles will be a train of two-wheeled Lightcycles that you'll sit on like a motorcycle, similar to how Flight of Passage's ride vehicles work. The coaster will reach speeds of up to 59 mph, and the ride experience will change depending on the lighting from day to night.

TRON Lightcycle Run was likely delayed due to the closure of Disney World parks for several months and the construction halt caused by the global health crisis, and it may not open in 2022. A new release date has yet to be announced by Disney.


Guardians of the Galaxy - Cosmic Rewind

Take off on an intergalactic chase through space and time with the Guardians of the Galaxy. Begin your journey by visiting the Galaxarium, a planetarium-style exhibition that compares and contrasts Xandar and Earth's galaxies. You'll also get to see and learn about some of Xandar's incredible wonders and technology.

Everything goes wrong just as you're about to reach the end of the tour, and you're summoned to assist the Guardians of the Galaxy. Are you ready to embark on an epic journey across the galaxy to save the galaxy? It's completely up to you!


This family-friendly attraction features one of the world's longest enclosed coasters and the first ever reverse-launch on a Disney coaster! This new coaster from Walt Disney Imagineering rotates 360 degrees so you can concentrate on the action in front of you.


Walt Disney World Railroad

The Walt Disney World Railroad has been closed since 2018, but guests are expected to see and hear signs that the ride will reopen soon. Disney plans to use a steam locomotive along select segments of the new track at Magic Kingdom, according to the Orlando Sentinel. There hasn't been a set date for reopening. Construction on Tomorrowland's 'TRON Lightcycle Run' attraction forced the closure of the ride.

The Walt Disney World Railroad has three stations: the main station on Main Street, U.S.A., the Frontierland station, and the Storybook Circus station in Fantasyland. You can also board at any of these stations and ride the entire 1.5-mile grand-circle tour, which takes about 20 minutes. As you make your way around the park at a leisurely 10-12 mph pace, a recorded narration describes the sights you'll see.


Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser

Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser is a groundbreaking new two-night adventure in which you play the role of the hero. You and your friends will embark on a one-of-a-kind Star Wars adventure of your own creation. It's the most immersive Star Wars story ever made, allowing you to have a one-of-a-kind experience and go deeper into a Star Wars adventure than you ever imagined possible.


Arrive at the Walt Disney World Resort terminal, board a launch pod, and wait for the magnificent Halcyon starcruiser to arrive. Stay in a cabin or suite with a breathtaking view of the universe. Throughout the ship, you'll meet a diverse cast of characters, dine on exotic galactic cuisine, and possibly plot a secret mission together.


As the itinerary progresses, you'll delve deeper into the story. Pick a path. Explore the legendary starship's inner workings, learn the traditional art of lightsaber wielding, and even board a transport to the planet Batuu, where your mission continues at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge!


Epcot Neighborhoods

World Showcase, World Celebration, World Nature, and World Discovery will be the four neighborhoods that will unite Epcot and speak to important aspects of the world and its people. These areas will be brimming with new experiences rooted in authenticity and innovation that will transport you to new places, where the real is transformed into the fantastic in a celebration of curiosity, hands-on wonder, and the allure of possibility.

A new pavilion will be unveiled as the ideal location for viewing the nighttime spectacular. This three-story structure will provide new elevated views of EPCOT while also serving as a home base for EPCOT's signature festivals and live events. The completion date for the new pavilion is still unknown.


Creations Shop, EPCOT's flagship store, is the newest addition to World Celebration. The shop, which replaced MouseGear, has a bold, sleek design with large glass walls and a large mural of Mickey Mouse. There is a lot of original art, bright colors, and sections that are easy to navigate. The revamped Club Cool Hosted by Coca-Cola is located next to the shop.
