Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway - Disneyland

[Disney Irish]

D23 I expect will be focused on Marvel Land and further updates on WDW 50th and the changes coming to the overseas parks.

Though there might be one or two other surprises (no inside info just a gut feeling) for DLR.

What’s the capacity like on that GOTG coaster? Maybe they clone that, give us some Avengers show scenes instead and call it a day.

I kind of feel like that's exactly what's going to happen. I'm alright with that. I've been wanting an indoor coaster in DCA since it opened, I'm a bit desperate at this point.

You can almost spin this announcement like they HAVE to have more to announce for DLR. Otherwise, why would they waste this announcement on a blog post in April? Unless Toontown needs to close down soon for some reason.

Part of me thinks they were going to save this announcement for D23, but did it now instead to quietly hide that DHS is moving their opening date to next year.

Are you forgetting Tower & Rockin? Besides Star Wars Land is coming so Studios won't be so underdeveloped come August.

Both exist in Paris and one is also in Tokyo even if it’s a different story. GMR was wholly unique.

You already took Mickey. Leave us a unique Guardians ride.

Just trying to figure what the solution is for the Avengers coaster at DCA. Technically we would just be taking the ride system. Like another RSR/ Test Track situation.

I mean, yeah. We already have a Guardians ride. I doubt very much they'd straight up clone the Epcot Guardians coaster without retheming it.

RIP Osborne lights too. Was hoping DCA could get something similar down the main Hollywoodland cooridor at one point

I have somewhat mixed feelings about this. On one hand, I’m not sure how flash animated Disney Channel Mickey will mesh with the 1940’s style of the rest of the land. On the other, I’m happy with anything that keeps Mickey’s Toontown off the chopping block without replacing anything of importance in the existing area. So, if I had to pick one way to lean, I guess the positives outweigh the potential negatives that may come with the area remaining stagnant.

Here’s my DLR predictions for D23...

1. We get full details on Marvel Land phase 1, including the Spider-Man attraction. Mayyyyybbbee some hints on phase 2

2. New daytime parade at DL

3. More details on MMRR

4. Some sort of update on ROTR


Dark horses: Eastern Gateway, Hollywood backlot plans and DTD plans. FL expansion news will probably be at 2021 expo

Prayers: Coco dark ride for Pixar Pier

Now, I'd really love to see Fantasyland Theatre become a show building for a properly sized Philharmagic, and have the entrance inside Toon Town, replacing Goofy/Donald houses and punching a hole under the train track. Then punch another hole between Toon Town and Galaxy's Edge (replacing the tree house) for traffic purposes. That would really give the land a shot in the arm.

Oh well...

I haven't honestly followed the specifics of the GotG coaster with regards to capacity. Maybe one of the WDW insiders can provide that info. But yeah I expect it'll be a clone of that ride system.

Parts of TT would have to close eventually I would assume, don't know if that'll happen before D23 or not. But I expect at least Gag Factory closes sometime this year. So that might be the reason for announcing it now instead of in August.

I think if we get any news on Phase 2 at all, it'll be a vague corporate announcement along the lines of "And stay tuned for phase 2, where you'll join the Avengers on an exciting adventure with Avengers on an adventure!" and that's about it.

In the "not gonna happen but I can dream" category I'd add: A Tomorrowland refresh to bring it closer to the retro style future (similar to Tomorrowland '67) with a Buzz rebuild/refresh, a Star Tours replacement, a Peoplemover rebuild, a Rocket Jets update in it's proper location, and rebuilding the original Journey Into Imagination using modern technology where the Carousel Theater is. If you can't tell, I don't really trust modern Imagineering to come up with original concepts that fit naturally inside Disneyland.

"And stay tuned for Phase 2.... that we can promise is coming but have no idea what it's going to include yet"

Sorry doubt that'll happen especially since the RR was just down for a whole year so they could reroute parts of the track in that area.

They can have that too. We have a Peoplemover that...still moves people!

Oh, it'll absolutely never happen. I have no delusions about that. It'd just be nice.
