It works with Space Mountain, as both are terminals to other places - Space Mountain to the horizons and Lightcycle / Run to our digital-focused universe of today and likely tomorrow. All glistening white curves and otherworldly flows, the entrance to Lightcycle / Run recalls gorgeous architectural works - I think of the Frank Gehry-designed bridge and pavilion of Chicago’s Millennium Park, where steel panels wind us through an urban park and frame the greenery and skies with a sense of wonder.Īs a sight, it’s a triumph - a building for a ride inspired by a movie about video games - a ride that feels like a video game - that still can evoke a sense of comfort while looking like nothing else in a Disney theme park. Its entrance is a grand canopy, one that is designed to match the sense of motion of the roller coaster nestled under it. The new Tron Lightcycle / Run - yes, that is how it is stylized - doesn’t exactly look like a building. It stands as a symbol of optimism, a mid-1970s structure that dreams upward and celebrates the promise of discovery via space travel.
In Florida, Space Mountain is nestled close to the Contemporary Resort and is easily visible to those taking transportation and walking to the Magic Kingdom. The skyline of Walt Disney World’s Tomorrowland has long been marked by the circular dome and star-reaching spires of Space Mountain, a cylindrical building whose decorative lines are constantly pointing skyward.
