Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Parks, Magic Kingdom

Walt Disney World is known for its immersive and innovative attractions that transport visitors into magical worlds. Among the many exhilarating rides, one of the most anticipated additions to the park is the Tron Lightcycle Run. Inspired by the iconic film franchise, Tron Lightcycle Run promises to take guests on an unforgettable journey filled with adrenaline-pumping excitement. Let’s delve into the details of this groundbreaking attraction.

Tron Lightcycle Run is a high-speed roller coaster situated in Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom Park. It is based on Disney’s “Tron” films and brings the neon-lit world of the Grid to life. The ride’s centerpiece is its unique Lightcycles, futuristic two-wheeled vehicles that guests board for an electrifying adventure.

As riders embark on Tron Lightcycle Run, they are instantly immersed in the pulsating energy of the Grid. Accelerating rapidly, the Lightcycles zoom through darkened tunnels, with illuminated neon lights guiding the way. The cutting-edge technology behind the ride creates an illusion of speed and heightens the sensation of being part of the Tron universe.

The Tron Lightcycle Run experience is a perfect blend of storytelling, technology, and heart-pounding thrills. The ride’s innovative design incorporates synchronized audio and visuals, captivating riders with stunning landscapes and dynamic scenes from the Tron films. The intricate attention to detail in the attraction’s theming ensures a fully immersive experience from start to finish.

What sets Tron Lightcycle Run apart is its innovative ride system. As guests straddle their Lightcycles, they lean forward into a streamlined position, replicating the iconic pose of Tron characters. This unique riding posture adds an extra layer of realism and enhances the feeling of being part of the Grid’s futuristic world.

Tron Lightcycle Run at Walt Disney World is a must-visit attraction for thrill-seekers and fans of the “Tron” films alike. From the moment riders board their Lightcycles to the exhilarating rush of the high-speed journey, this innovative roller coaster delivers an unforgettable adventure that will leave guests wanting more.

So, get ready to buckle up, hold on tight, and embrace the thrilling ride of a lifetime!

Magic Kingdom Cast Members GO to the Next Level When Classic Attraction Goes Down

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Parks, Magic Kingdom

It’s no secret that Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom is old. After all, the celebration for the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World Resort just ended, meaning that Magic Kingdom is over 50 years old.

Some of the most classic attractions in the Disney Park are just as old. Whether an attraction is 50 years old or has just turned 10, it’s not uncommon for the age to result in some wear and tear.

Pirates of the Caribbean Disneyland

That’s why some attractions such as the Haunted Mansion, the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, and Pirates of the Caribbean break down so often.

However, when Pirates of the Caribbean recently broke down for a few days in a row, the Cast Members quickly came up with the perfect solution:

This video shows that the Cast Members have mapped out the ride vehicle on the ground with tape. As Guests sit in the pretend ride vehicle, the Cast Members read from the ride’s actual script, acting as the animatronic characters.

In the video above, the Cast Members are acting out the auction scene from the attraction, which takes place after the iconic interrogation scene.

While it’s not exactly the same experience as riding Magic Kingdom’s Pirates of the Caribbean attraction, it’s definitely an example of Cast Members going above and beyond.

It’s moments like these that create such long-lasting memories for those visiting Walt Disney Word. Even if the attraction is down, anyone who experienced this homemade version of Pirates of the Caribbean will never forget it.

New Details Emerge After Bloody Brawl at Magic Kingdom

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Parks, Magic Kingdom

Magic Kingdom made headlines on May 16, 2023 but not for the rides, the food, or the parades. Guests were misbehaving…again. This is becoming an all too common occurrence. It had gotten so bad that Walt Disney World even updated its website, asking guests to behave and warning them of severe consequences if they do not. It seems not everyone got the memo.

A fight broke out between two families in front of the train station near the front entrance. Soon after it occurred, and at the time, there wasn’t a lot of information to go on. We now know more about the knock-down drag-out and the motivations behind it. The altercation began over a photo. You read that right—a photo.

Sheriff’s Deputies say that the fight began around 2:30 pm when one family (Family A) wanted to take a photo with the Disney100 sign commemorating the Walt Disney Company’s 100th anniversary. The only problem? Another family (Family B) happened to be standing in the way. A member of Family A asked Family B to move so they could take their photo, which didn’t sit well with Family B.

A member of Family B punched a member of Family A in the face. Then more members of Family B jumped in, and chaos ensued. What began as a simple request turned into an all-out brawl. Family B was substantially larger than Family A and did not hold back. They ganged up on the smaller group, and the punches kept flying.

Official reports say that at least one person was injured in the melee but declined to press charges. That individual was treated on the scene after the fight ended. Two others were escorted out of the park by security.

Bystanders recorded the fight and uploaded it almost immediately to social media, where it quickly went viral. Fox35 managed to obtain one of the bystander videos, which can be seen here:

The fight at Magic Kingdom is not the first violent disagreement to occur in a Disney Park, and unfortunately, it isn’t likely to be the last.

Tragedy on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Parks, Magic Kingdom

Every year, millions of fans travel to Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort in hopes of having the vacation of their dreams. Fans save up thousands of dollars and plan for months, or even years, in advance for their Disney vacation. Visiting a Disney Park and Resort is not cheap, and for many fans, this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Unfortunately, not every Disney trip ends in a “Happily Ever After.” Crises and mishaps happen in the Parks just the same as everywhere else.

Disney World Changes

Every Guest of Walt Disney World Resort or Disneyland Resort hopes that their vacation will be perfect. As much as packing, planning, and research can help, nothing can prepare you for what happens when tragedy strikes on your vacation.

Yesterday, May 17, 2023, an incident occurred on the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Walt Disney World. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is a roller coaster that takes place in Frontierland, which is a part of Magic Kingdom. Visitors board a train car that is meant to evoke the feeling of riding on old mining equipment. The ride’s theme is inspired by the American West and the gold rush era.

Unfortunately, Guests waiting in line for the attraction were told to leave in order to make way for a stretcher.

Sadly, health crises happen in the Parks nearly every day. Things like heart attacks and strokes happen all the time, and unfortunately, they cannot be prevented by the Parks. Another common issue is Guests underestimated how physically strenuous the Parks can be. Walking for miles on end in the Florida or California heat is no joke.

In the case of this person on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, no explanation has been given. We can all wish the person affected well during this time.

Uncontrollable, Brutal Brawl Breaks Out in Magic Kingdom

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Parks, Magic Kingdom

An uncontrollable fistfight went viral after Guests were seen fighting in Magic Kingdom Park at Walt Disney World Resort.

Walt Disney World is known as “The Most Magical Place on Earth.” However, there are times when it seems that some Disney decide to ruin the magical fun for others. Home to four theme parks– Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and Dinsey’s Hollywood Studios. Disney World is no stranger to hosting Guests, but there have been several unruly visitors as of late, and this behavior has caused major issues in Walt Disney World Resort.

Disney World is a place of happiness and excitement, but even it is not immune to occasional incidents involving unruly Guests. These incidents, however infrequent, may involve disagreements, arguments, or altercations between individuals. In such instances, Disney’s security personnel are trained to intervene promptly and resolve the situation in a calm and professional manner. Disney World’s security team will work diligently to de-escalate the situation and, if necessary, involve local law enforcement authorities. They prioritize the safety and comfort of all Guests, ensuring that any disruptive behavior is swiftly addressed and appropriate actions are taken.

MasterGraceyJr tweeted a video of a brawl that happened at Disney World this week. These Guests can be seen punching and pulling one another. The fight gets out of control as several adults fight while a Disney Cast Member pleads with them to stop. This incident happened in front of the Train Station at Magic Kingdom Park. While we are unsure what started this brawl, it is never okay to resort to violence in Disney World.

Good times at MK today. Not my vid

These Guests fighting can spot children in the background looking terrified at this moment. Disney Cast Members and Security handled this situation, and there has been no confirmation if these Guests were arrested, but they were all almost surely given bans and trespassed from the property. Disney can remove Guests for any reason they see necessary. Guests can be banned for life, removed from the Parks, and much more for the safety of others.

It is important to note that instances of Guest fighting or violence within the theme park are exceedingly rare and not condoned by the Park’s management or its dedicated Cast Members.

Disney World strives to create an environment where Guests can escape the outside world and immerse themselves in a magical experience. The park’s commitment to Guest safety, security, and satisfaction has helped it maintain its status as one of the most popular and cherished tourist destinations worldwide.
