How to get there

N31° 08' 38.0652"E121° 39' 37.4472"
This image is of the Tron Lightcycle Power Run in Shanghai Disneyland Resort. There are many options to get to Disneyland. Refer to their website for driving and public transport options. You can purchase your tickets at the entrance to the park, but I suggest purchasing them ahead of time for a hassle-free entry. Remember to bring the I.D. you used to purchase the original tickets — without this, you won't be able to get your tickets. The Tron World is located in the west section of the park and is very easy to find. To get to this spot, head to the upper platform right underneath where the Tron Lightcycle Power Run crosses over.

Tips

When to go

Best season

All months

Best time

Night
Shanghai Disneyland is open year round, but make sure to check the website for closure on holidays.
To get similar conditions, visit the Tron Lightcycle Power Run rollercoaster at night when the lights will be light up against the dark sky.

Field tips

Use a wide lens (10-16mm should be sufficient) to capture the entire geometry of the structure.
Make sure you and your model have found a safe space for this shot. To remove the dead space, have your model stand and place her head at the opening of the ceiling.
For a more futuristic shot, wait for the oncoming roller coaster to get that extra streak of light coming by!
