Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway - Disneyland

[Brer Oswald]

Fantastic details. Another reason why I’m more excited about the queue rather than the actual ride.

The queue looks LEAGUES better than the ride.

Definitely media day. Social media full.

Here’s official B-Roll:

Still curious about what this means…

The queue looks LEAGUES better than the ride.

If it wouldn’t slow down the queue, I’d say it would be fun if it was actually possible to purchase a small bag of that Mickey popcorn in the queue.

I don't recognize that octopus pulling the plug shot from the DHS version, and I can't find it from a cursory look at a few POVs. Is it new or am I blanking?

I wonder if it might be a subtweet to the Mario Kart ride? I know that queue also features racing costumes of all the characters, but I wouldn't have made that parallel so it must be something more obvious?

Comparisons to the Mario Kart queue I suspect?

I think Disney does queues better than they do rides now

This looks amazing.

Alright, where is Roger Rabbit parody movie posters, my guess his film will be Maroon Cartoon Studios Presents Roger Rabbityear of the Toon Command starring Roger Rabbit (as Roger Rabbityear), Jessica Rabbit (as Princess Honey Bunny) and Baby Herman (as Little Rookie), which features the villians: the Toon Patrol weasels (along Smart Guy as Emperor Weaurg).

Why would there be Roger Rabbit parody movie posters in this queue?

Spoiler: Differences from WDW

Most notable differences I'm seeing is a different track switch effect, the reconfiguring of the layout at the underwater scene (much shorter), the addition of a momentum halting tunnel after the factory/park finale, and the picnic scene basically being flipped.

Because Spielberg wants more his attention for his Roger Rabbit IPs for Toontown and MMRR.

While I would say it appears minorly improved over the Hollywood Studios version (referring mainly to the ride - the queue is an obvious improvement), I would also say it still isn't even the best ride in Toontown.

Found my answer while spoiling the ride. Spoilers for some of the differences I caught in the POV:

Spoiler

• The opening tunnel is right ahead as opposed to hanging left in the DHS version.
• The tornado is a circular room rather than the pass through in DHS; much better laid out.
• The squid pulling the plug takes the place of the storm drain transition between the ocean and the cityscape.
• The last bit of the ride has a lot of minor tweaks to the ride layout, including where we exit from the dance practice, what we see entering the factory, and a tunnel/bridge crossing into the park finale that doesn't exist in the DHS version.

Overall, I think the changes make a lot of sense and do wonders to increase the energy and make it feel a little more hectic and cartoony.

Would be great if they sold the parody posters found in the queue. I want a few of them.

excited to ride it when i go back!

 

[mightynine]

Those parody posters are both well done and keep the company from having to potentially deal with any compensation for the original actors' likenesses, so win-win everybody!

Does a gift shop for the ride exist in DL? The one at WDW is a really pathetic pop-up shop stuffed in a corner at the ride's exit.
