Yvette Nicole Brown announced today at the Walt Disney Studios showcase at Destination D23 that TRON Lightcycle/Run presented by Enterprise at Walt Disney World Resort and TRON Lightcycle Power Run presented by Chevrolet at Shanghai Disney Resort will be celebrating the release of the new Tron: Ares film with a brand-new overlay on their attractions

Replacing the blue and orange hues of the ride, you’ll weave through twisting tunnels of vibrant red and orange light trails, feeling the rush of wind and the surge of acceleration as you compete in a dazzling Lightcycle race.

The striking red hues in Tron: Ares within the digital realm contrast sharply with the classic blue tones of the Grid. Adding to the immersive visuals, the pulsating industrial sounds of Nine Inch Nails will drive the ride’s energy, pushing your experience between the Grid and reality into a fully immersive, futuristic symphony of light, speed, and sound.

Experience the new Tron: Ares ride overlay for a limited time at Magic Kingdom starting September 15 and Shanghai Disneyland starting September 16.

We are going September 14th and September 15th, so would be good to ride both versions (have never ridden before), but I am guessing opening day will have too long a queue to try the overlay (everybody and the bloggers coming out to try the new version).

The overlay could make a good MNSSHP overlay in future, like Space Mountain in the dark, or the way that GOTG:MB turns into GOTG:MAD at DCA at 6pm. It will already be programmed and you would assume would be easy enough to turn back on when needed.

It always was. That’s not an excuse. They used to keep MK perfect in the early years.
They just need to routinely schedule routine maintenance of Tron building like they do with Space Mountain building (but in both cases before it gets to the current state of Tron building). I remember being captivated as I read, in those Birnbaum guides from the '80's, of the lengths Disney took to always keep the MK pristine--during the day and at night.
