3. Guardians of the Galaxy Coaster

So far, we’ve focused on pre-existing Walt Disney World attractions with teen appeal, but the real shift at Disney seems to be a focused effort to introduce new attractions for teens and thrill seekers. While Disney Imagineers have promised a number of upcoming attractions for Disney classic fans and families like Ratatouille, Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway, and the upcoming Mary Poppins attraction, they have balanced these with several majorly-teen-friendly attractions we are super excited about.

The first of these is the still-to-be-named Guardians of the Galaxy coaster coming soon to Epcot. With Disney’s options for Marvel attractions in Florida limited by the Universal Studios deal, Guardians of the Galaxy has proven one of the few Marvel mainstays Disney can consistently pull new material from. Construction has already begun on this indoor behemoth, and it is looking seriously huge, stretching all the way from the old Universe of Energy building to an entirely new structure behind the old Wonders of Life. It is estimated that it will be one of the longest indoor coasters in the world by the time it is complete. While it’s looking like the coaster won’t feature any loops or barrel rolls like we’ve seen in the Rockin’ Roller Coaster, it still looks like a majorly fun thrill that will definitely appeal to teen visitors.

4. TRON Lightcyle Power Run

“I fight for the users…”

There’s something uniquely exciting for Disney veterans to see TRON finally making a comeback. Indeed, Disneyland visitors may remember the decade-long addition to The PeopleMover back in the 80’s and 90’s where guests were transported to the world of TRON through giant wrap-around superspeed screens in a seriously mind-bending visual effect. While Shanghai Disneyland fans have had access to the more recent TRON Lightcycle Power Run coaster for some time, it looks like this much-loved attraction is finally coming to Walt Disney World.

The TRON Lightcycle Power Run is a perfect fit for Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland, and it will prove a surefire draw for teen visitors. Positioned right next to Space Mountain, the new attraction will follow very similar design to its Shanghai Disneyland predecessor, which has a short outdoor element but is largely an indoor coaster similar to Space Mountain, with the addition of tons of trippy neon visuals appropriate to the TRON universe. The TRON Lightcycle Power Run will be a much-welcomed extra addition to Magic Kingdom’s lineup of teen-friendly attractions.
