  1. The 2016 original

    Shanghai Disneyland opened this version on June 16, 2016. RCDB says 59.3 mph and an LSM launch. Wikipedia says 59.3 mph (95.4 km/h), 78.1 feet, and 3,169.3 feet, and treats the Magic Kingdom ride as a near-clone.

  2. Why it has no resort page

    Shanghai has only two coasters with agreeing speeds, this one and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. That is short of the three-row publish gate, so both stay on the worldwide list. Rex's Racer is left off because RCDB and Coasterpedia disagree.

The Magic Kingdom copy is TRON Lightcycle / Run.
