Making Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway different at Disneyland

[mharrington]

If you've seen my work on the Imagineering forum, you may or may not know that my armchair Imagineering tends to be as realistic as possible. This means that my ideas are usually fitted into real parks. Because there are limited spaces in the parks, especially Disneyland, my ideas can sometimes be quite simple, since they must fit in those limited spaces, even though my ideas tend to run counter to the conventional wisdom of armchair Imagineering, which is to just focus on the blue sky process and ignore any and all limitations, including spaces, while knowing full well that these ideas will probably not happen.

Anyway, with that said, I'm told that Disneyland's version of the upcoming Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway is probably going to be more or less a copy of the ride coming to Florida (the entrance and queue notwithstanding). Because of that, I'm really not sure why I'm doing this thread here, since this seems a bit out of character for me, as it falls into the category of admitting that this is not real and probably will not happen. In any case, I will get to some of the details later (after some sleep), but for now, here's a video for some of the details about the ride in Florida, courtesy of DSNY Newscast:


I will go into details of my ideas later, but right now, I will tell you that some scenes in the ride in Florida will be replaced with other scenes for the California ride.

As I said before, I try to be realistic as much as possible, but these ideas come knowing full well that the Disneyland ride is likely a clone of the Florida ride, likely with physical set pieces. But anyway, I'm using DSNY Newscast's video for a guide. So here goes...

There have been plenty of those Mickey cartoons made that could easily replace scenes in Florida's ride with other scenes to make it more unique. For instance, instead of a bull scene coming to Florida, replace it with a car race, as seen in "Bottle Shocked" (a car race in Monte Carlo):


Also, instead of the alleged New York scene, there would be a scene of San Francisco, where you have a run-in with a cable car, as in "Cable Car Chaos":


The dance scene would be here as well, with Donald (assuming he's in the ride, which I hope) here with Daisy.

Anyway, that's all I have. So, what did you think?

Not Bad. Not Bad at All.

I think this is honestly a great forum to return to as Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway in Disneyland has, basically, been confirmed to be different at this point with that permit that was released a few weeks ago.
