Walt Disney World has revealed the final date for the virtual queue on its TRON roller coaster at the Magic Kingdom.
TRON Lightcycle Run will continue its virtual queue through this Sunday, September 8, converting to a traditional standby queue starting on Monday, according to the Walt Disney World website. TRON is now one of three attractions at the Walt Disney World Resort using a virtual queue, with the others being Tiana's Bayou Adventure and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind.
Disney's virtual queues allow park guests to request to join the line to board a designated attraction via the official My Disney Experience app. If successful, guests are assigned a boarding group number, which will then be called in order throughout the day via a notification on the app. The virtual queue opens at 7am and again at 1pm, and the time the queue is open for new guests can vary wildly based on park attendance - from less than a second to hours.
TRON Lightcycle Run opened in April 2023, following the debut of TRON Lightcycle Power Run at Shanghai Disneyland in 2016. The Vekoma family launch coaster reaches a top speed of 59 mph, with guests straddling Lightcycles for their ride on the indoor/outdoor coaster.

I'm kind of surprised it took this long to get rid of the VQ on Tron, especially seeing that TBA is also on a VQ.
I'd be curious to see if Disney sells more Lightning Lanes (1 time use) for attractions with long standby lines or ones with VQ. My guess is that they probably sell more through the first 3-4 months a new attraction is open and on VQ, but that probably falls off dramatically as it becomes easier and easier for guests to secure a boarding group. MY guess is that there are more people that would pay for LL to avoid a long standby line than guests who are unsuccessful at getting in the VQ.
I'm still waiting for Disney to go back to old-school ticket books where a park admission comes with tickets to individual attractions, and you pay extra if you want to ride more, which would pretty much eliminate standby lines and make everything reservation only.
