Ok, so I have a few more observations after really analyzing this clip.

1.) So just by looking at the 9 second look at the beginning of the attraction the 2 and a half D is very special. I totally buy you are in a cartoon short. It appears they are singing the song also in the first 9 seconds.

2.) I really enjoy the use of black light? It looks like black light but I can’t really tell. Also the poster in the lobby looks great.

3.) Once we get into the tunnel is where I start to think things get more impressive, but also get weird.

4.) Let’s start with the 2 AA’s of Mickey & Minnie...they look weird at first but I think I’m starting to warm up to them. So I’ll break down the first part their ”drive up” looks super fluid...I particularly enjoy Minnie’s flower that moves. Even their ears are super cool. So let’s get to the controversial part...the faces now I’m not sure what it is about it but the projection sometimes looks strange and warped then a second later it looks fine. I think it looks kinda strange when Mickey blinks but besides that I think they look great. Still completely buy that I’m in a short.

5.) The set of the tunnel is super cool and the hand painted? Walls looks great, (if they aren’t hand painted you could of fooled me because they look super real) the use of backlight is also super cool.

6.) Last, but not least is Goofy the screen looks great! The design also looks great and while I didn’t mind it they really dialed down the “hobo” look so I think this will appease everyone.

I NEED a POV of this...I’m so excited. The tech looks super impressive, this may give GMR a run for it’s money...we shall see.

EDIT: I JUST NOTICED THE DAPPER DANS...WOW that’s a cool Easter egg.

Come on, people! Isn't there a cast member who is quitting next week who can throw us a bone and post a video?!

You know what it is...I think the AA’s look so much like a short (I mean that in the best way possible) that when we see them in the physical world they look weird. I’m really starting to warm up to them...I’m still analyzing this clip...

It’s really like they came straight out of the cartoon, which is a good thing as for the direction of this ride!!

I'm a little confused about the screen that shows Goofy. Like you can see the top of the screen....and when the train turns you can easily see the screen abruptly end on the left hand side. I know this is a minor detail but they really couldn't make the screen just a little bit bigger?

Thanks, now that's all I can see - it almost looks like it's just a TV panel inside there and doesn't fit the space at all. Strange.

It’s been down fairly often. CMs are consistently being told “please come back later.” Not sure how long the break downs have been but they have happened daily.

If this attraction opens with heavy downtime, so help the people in standby who couldn’t get a boarding group for RoTR. New attractions tend to break down but the timing on these isn’t the best.

It’s been pretty clear from the start (back when then the usual suspects were cheering about the attraction being totally unique to MGM) that this was a very nice Toontown ride crowbarred into a completely inappropriate space by clone-happy management.
Wasn't this going to be in California Adventure originally? Where the bus loop is now? I always thought Toontown was a backup plan (that's totally better than the original).

If I recall Toontown/Maroon Studios was suppose to be on Sunset Blvd where RnRc stands. This is why you see the Billboard by Echo lake.

Two of the attractions would have been Baby Herman's Runaway Buggy Coaster and Roger's Toontown Trolley simulator
