Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway - Disneyland

[mickEblu]

Crazy that Disneyland with its already stacked ride roster got ROTR, Falcon and MMMR too. Any space they have for Disneyland Forward if it ever does happen should just go all to DCA.

I’m hoping we get at least some of the new mountain backdrop before the land closes. I’d love to get a rough idea of how it will all look.
Once closed, I suspect this redo will be very hard to keep progress of from guest view.

Obviously can't say much since the hills have yet to be installed, but I'm worried about the scale; those mountains behind Minnie's House look awfully large.

For my money, Disney generally does a great job at perspective, so I'm not worried... yet.

Another Roger Rabbit ride is about as likely as a bluray of Song of the South.

Yeah. The only view would be from the train and expect they will put up a scrim on the TT side like they did on the bridge over the entrance to Galaxy's Edge near Hungry Bear.

DCA would have a large number of rides and shows if they built out instead of retheming over the last 20 years.

You could have Golden Dreams, Bugs Land, Web Slingerz, Tower of Terror, Ariel, Supertar Limo, Monsters Inc, and a Guardians ride in the same park.

where would mmrr in paris have gone? They should still build it, but put it in DSP cause they def need more rides. Put IJ in DLP and MMR in DSP, that would be cool imo

I remember reading it was supposed to be located on the "Little Mermaid" expansion plot in Fantasyland.

I had really hoped (indeed, still hope) that the ride would be part of a Toontown area (if only a small one) and not part of Fantasyland itself. It's clearly based around European fairy tales. As such, Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway really has no place in Fantasyland.

Maybe they will still build it one day, right now they need to focus on dsp cause that park is terrible right now and needs more rides

Me either. It's going to be great, I'm sure.

This project is fantastic for Disneyland overall, and a surprising way to reboot an aging and nearly forgotten land (Toontown). I love it!

It also cements Disneyland's place as the company's flagship park with the most rides and attractions in the world. It will be at least 20 or 30 years before any other Disney theme park could catch up, if that even happens at any time.

I think its great too. The pavement was such a bad look for the land and the land is so run down (and lacks shade). This is great news.

Fingers crossed they take the opportunity to get rid of the Jolly Trolley tracks too; no use keeping them there for folks to constantly trip on when the trolley's never coming back. The concept art seemed to show a more modern pedestrian feel sans-trolley so I hope that's the case.

^^^ I'll believe it when I see it.

“That I think take it one step further” sounds like he’s reeling it back in a little from the last statement or he’s being smart and not creating too high expectations.

 

[Too Many Hats]

For all we know, he could be talking about additions to the queue.

It's too late now since we know they got torn out, but I have to wonder if having trolley tracks helps the theming of the area?
