Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway - Disneyland

I really hope they bring the hills back with fresh paint. My heart stopped when I saw that photo.

I resonate with that tweet.

I mean concept art does show hills. Hopefully this is a way for them to fix the never-ending decaying mountain issue.

Am I the only one that likes it better without them? Probably....

How does this fix the Matterhorn?

I like it better without them. It feels more open.

My exact thought! It feels bigger.

Without the hills, it reminds me a bit more of Tokyo's Toontown where they just planted trees behind City Hall instead of building hills .

Trees are superior.

I wouldn’t be mad if they ditched the flat 2D looking hills and replaced them with ones that match the more 3D hills with trees behind Mickeys house.

hmmm. I’m usually all for trees. But something about that literal wall of trees doesn’t work for me. Not with Toontown at least.

I wouldn't be surprised. I was able to go back there once and the whole backstage area had broken parts, debris on the ground, and was just musty overall.

The more I see pics of Tokyo DL the more I realize all the praise in regards to the Tokyo resort must be towards Tokyo Disney Sea because their castle park doesn’t look that impressive. It looks old but not in a charming way like DL.

I actually like it with fake hills. It is ToonTown! Everything is made to look like it came straight from a cartoon.

The praise is for all the upkeep as well as DisneySea.

This is a fair observation. It's well maintained but probably at the bottom in terms of showcasing what WDI is capable of creating at a magic kingdom park. It's literally the complete opposite of DLP in both regards.

Tokyo Disneyland is just a direct copy of the Magic Kingdom. Corporate and soulless. At least now they are making it unique.

I wouldn't say the park as a whole is a direct copy. There's a lot of Disneyland in the mix too. Most notably Space Mountain and Pirates. The original framework is a weird mashup of copies of magic kingdom attractions from Orlando and Anaheim.

If I remember correctly, when the ride was announced it was confirmed that they would be redoing the hills. Which would make sense considering that they need to block out the backside of Batuu now.

 

[mickEblu]

But I think the question we all have is what happens to Goofys House and Donald’s boat?

The concept art shows to have some type of hills in the back so I would think they would return.
