Tron G-Force

[Bri426]

Hello,

I have an upcoming trip at the end of October, and had a question regarding the launch on Tron. I have a vision disease where there is potential for retinal detachment. My eye doctor has advised me to not ride "rides that have high g-force." I've been on Big Thunder, Mine Train, Guardians, Test Track, etc, but cannot ride Rock N Rollercoaster, Tower of Terror, Expedition Everest. I'm wondering how the launch on Tron compares to other rides. I don't want to put myself in a dangerous situation, but also don't want to hold myself back, either. Any help would be appreciated!

Personally I would not risk it.

TRON is in the same category as RnR. RnR is 5Gs/57mph and TRON is 4Gs/60mph. Not a good idea.

Agree with PPs, I would not ride.

I will add ......... we don't even think TRON is the best coaster in the park, still give that credit to Big Thunder. Poor TRON was dated before it was even built. It's a long wait for a short ride.

Thank you all for replying! I was already thinking of skipping out due to the intensity, but wanted others’ opinions. Really appreciate it!

agree with the others, skip it due to the G-force of the launch.

I heard Guardians ride has a 2 g force so is that safe for you? Also, I think Big Thunder is so rough and could also be an issue with your condition.

Ride Guardians twice to make up for it. Guardians by far is a much better ride. With that I do not recall the g force on Tron to me it was a huge letdown. Much prefer guardians 4 times this year in 3 days (yes you can get a normal one and one for extra night hours) but I have grown to hate the Que. you are not missing out on anything great.

I’d put them both in the same bucket. Both have fast launches and send you upward quickly, the only difference is one does it backwards.

Which one is backwards? Are there any others rides at WDW that have g force? I can’t do those either

Guardians is backwards.
Guardians, Tron, RnRC, Everest and Mission Space all have G-Forces

The green version of Mission does not, right?

 

[gharter]

Correct, Orange spins, green does not.

Even with me being a big Tron fan - I would pass on it with your condition

A recent blog said Guardians has 12 moments over 2G and 8 under 0.5G so wonder what is considered high g-force in a coaster by your doctor?

FYI I have a history of retinal detachment and have risen Space Mountain many times without issue. I avoid anything that goes upside down or has strong G forces. I rode Tron and felt OK. I was told by cast member it was smoother than Space Mountain and slower than Test Track which I have also done. I believe she said max is under 2Gs (1.8 maybe). Ask your doctor about your particular situation; but I felt it was OK for me.

OP's trip was in October 2023 so not sure if they were able to ride or not. As you suggest, anyone who faces a question like this is always best to ask their doctor.
