I miss this scene from the book.

I miss this scene from the book.

Yeah, me too (it's probably the most iconic scene in the book), but I think the race was a solid replacement--Otherwise, they'd have a movie where the first and third challenges had the hero standing at a video game cabinet. Although... what if the race had everyone riding flying ostriches? That would have been great!!!

What's wrong with standing in front of a video game cabinet? I do that for at least a half hour every day.

And a couple of plot holes (does *everyone* live in Columbus???)

Not to turn this into a Ready Player One thread, but for the movie the characters had to be close together otherwise it'd take 6 hours to tell the story. Not that having more Ready Player One is a bad thing. But seriously, I know that everyone likes to find movie plot holes, especially when it comes from a book source material. Screenwriters have to condense a lot of material from a source into a few hours. So they cut corners, tweak the story, and change locations in order to be able to fit it into a normal 2 hour movie. And then directors have to further condense that down in order to make sure it translates on screen. Otherwise if they didn't, like you said in another post, you'd have boring scenes like watching a kid in front of a video game cabinet for half the movie.

Before my time and your time it was a gift to humanity. Then cheapness happened.

I am older than chuck e cheese :-( but you are right, i do remember it being better in its early days but soon after it went franchise and started popping everywhere the place just went downhill.

Why does anyone think this is going in the Hyperion? This ride is going into Toontown.

Precisely. Any new updates or word about this rumor coming to fruition?

I don't think anyone took it seriously about using Hyperion. It was just blueskying ideas on "what if".

Maybe because of all those other times MMRR took over an iconic theater. It has a bad rep now.

Yes @GiveMeTheMusic we could use a little shot in the arm here.

The ride is delayed because of the Fox purchase, WDI has to work in Ice Age characters now

Hahah. Not nice. You had me until the comma.

Honestly, I think Runaway Railway should go in DCA. DCA is in desperate need of a family dark ride like that.

 

[NateD1226]

I doubt they would put it in DCA because they are probably going to take out everything in Hollywoodland just so they can add more Marvel stuff in that area.

Mike and Sully to the Rescue should be that dark ride but it’s so low key that I think a lot of people forget it’s even there. Such a wasted opportunity there.

Toon Town really needs a shot in the arm. The Mickey ride could be the key to getting people to go back there again.

The best shot in the arm for Toon Town would be a shot in the head.

Both options would be good at this point.

For me personally, Roger always seemed a misfit for Disneyland and the land's aesthetics never did anything for me. I want to see Disney completely retheme it, with Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway as the new tent pole attraction.
