Design
In Shanghai Disneyland, the attraction is located inside, underneath a color-shifting canopy in Tomorrowland. The planned Magic Kingdom version of the attraction will be placed in a completely new section of Tomorrowland to the north of Space Mountain.
The coaster's track takes riders inside and outside the attraction's building, reaching speeds of nearly 60 miles per hour (97 km/h)--the fastest for any Disney roller coaster.
The attraction's motorbike-styled vehicles were created by Walt Disney Imagineering as a method of specializing individual rider experience. The ride was then given a Tron-theme because the ride vehicles resembled the lightcycles featured in Tron: Legacy. When aboard the ride vehicle, riders lean forward and grip a set of handlebars. A pad situated behind the seat secures the rider in place.
