Tron......

Are there any rides or attractions in WDW that feature TRON? I know it's kind of a cult movie, but my DS10 and I love it!

Sort of.

Test Track has a "TRON-like" atmosphere (although no specific TRON mentions or scenes.)

I love anything TRON too and unfortunately the answer is really NO. There is pretty much nothing at this point.

There is stuff that LOOKS kinda Tron...ish... but no actual Tron-themes stuff.

Disney's California Adventure embraced Tron to the nth degree but I think even those street parties and named arcade are over. Sorry, they've moved on.

Bummer....I knew about Test Track and how that looks, but if they can keep things like Captain EO around, then a TRON themed attraction shouldn't be too hard. Just seems like the young boys attractions are lacking compaired to girls attractions. The Star Wars character meals at least have characters the boys want to see a little more than princesses.

Unfortunately, Tron Legacy didn't gross a whole lot. It did *okay*, but not enough to make it a property that would have universal(no pun intended) appeal. In fact, it looks like the franchise is dead with no *real* plans for a third movie.

I love it too, OP. I wish there was better news.

As Shocker said, Disney California Adventure had ElecTRONica for a while to promote the film, as well as a Tron segment during World of Color. It wasn't a ride, and it was just temporary though.

As far as I know, WDW never used Tron. Although many people say the new Test Track was inspired by Tron.

They also showed a very long Tron preview inside the muppetvision theatre.

i'm a huge tron fan too. hopefully another sequel will come out before too much longer and disney will put more tron out.

WDW had a "Tron"-o-rail for a short period of time, but that's about it.

They are currently writing a script for the 3rd movie.

A Light Cycle ride would be a great idea!!! Again, I know TT has the vibe of it, but just not the same. The 2nd movie Legacy grossed $400 Million world wide, so not too shabby!! It is the 38th all time grossing Disney movie, ahead of Beauty and the Beast, Lilo and Stich, and even Honey I shrunk The Kids.....all which have attractions at WDW.

On my January 2011 trip, while Legacy was in theaters, they had the Tron-o-rails, some Tron-themed pins, and some merch here and there, but it didn't last.

Last trip was February 2014. I loved the new visuals for Test Track, but the only direct reference to Tron was in Ralph and Vanellope's meet and greet queue. The departures board for Game Central Station is a cycle of silly video game references, and you can see 'Flynn Lives' on the board at 1:23 in this video.

"Disks of Tron" was an 80s-era arcade game - I think there was one at DisneyQuest, but I've not been there in ages.

Yeah, I think Disney is done with Tron for another XX years. Tron: Uprising hasn't had any new episodes made. It's too bad, really. I think something like Tron requires a company to foster interest through continued development. Occasional one-offs only bring back the die-hard fans.
