It's based on the "TRON" franchise stemming from the namesake 1982 movie about a computer programmer transported inside the digital world of a mainframe computer.
The ride is similar to TRON: Lightcycle Power Run, which opened at Shanghai Disneyland in 2016.
Riders will race against the Grid's sinister Programs through eight Energy Gates, as part of Team Blue.
Visitors will need to store their belongings in lockers before riding, and there will be accessible seating options for guests with disabilities.
