DHS Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway confirmed

[marni1971]

Vehicles unload in a city park, then need to return to a train barn? Here’s to hoping we get a nod to Walt...

The barn is roughly where half the original finale theatre was. It uses an LPS feature of enabling cars to park for disabled load / unload out of sight and off the main ride path. Cars will usually pass through empty to return to load.

Don’t wanna be the one to doubt Martin’s word, but the barn labelled on the plans is just below the old GMR load dock, so around the old return track from the finale theatre to load

The vehicle doors out of the old theatre are about half way across the new “barn” area. More or less lining up with the new GWD dock edge. Let me double check.

I just checked. New unload does indeed take up around 3/4 of the original finale theatre area. Guests will exit by roughly walking through where the old right hand vehicle doors used to be, to a new corridor that leads to the old exit doors.

The left hand theatre vehicle doors are more or less where the “barn” entrance is for GWD and return to load cars. The GWD load/unload area is half of the old GMR return to load room that later had the TCM projections above.

It should be noted the old maintainence garage exit and associated vehicle pathway has gone. The new GWD dock and new exit corridor now use this space.

I'm trying to remember, how much of the warehouse is being used for active attraction space compared to GMR? Based on the scene layout on the last page, there are a considerable number of scenes in this ride.

Without measuring I’d estimate around 90% of GMR

Well that is fantastic news. This should be a great attraction size wise. Glad they didn't put a dinky dark ride in such a large building. It will be interesting to see how it differs from Disneyland which will have a purpose built structure.

I think it will be. Just not worth the price that was paid.

Indeed... Disneyland gets net gains, DHS stays flat.

That's quite a bit more than I was originally expecting.

You'll recall when Walt announced the California Project in the '60s, he was hoping for something they never enjoyed in Florida--the blessing of size. If only the Florida parks weren't surrounded by alligators, they could expand. You'll notice none of the later Disney resorts were built in areas inhabited by alligators.

My excitement for this attraction continues to rise. I only wish my sorrow over GMR would stop rising. Here's hoping they do a respectable job on SSE at least. It truly is the last of its kind at WDW.

Well folks, pretty soon I suppose you're gonna be able to see this stuff for yourself, without need to take my (or anybody else's) word for it.

Why would he announce he'll be leaking stuff. just post it.

Couldn’t of said it better myself...however Back Door Disney isn’t the smartest. Anyone remember the epic saga of Who Stole Buzzy?

He’s so popular and wants to be more popular...

Is this the person he gave the account to, or the original owner? If it’s the latter, I’m not so sure I buy what he’s saying in that tweet.

It’s him. I’ve seen these blueprints first hand, he ain’t lying
