They are selling a bunch of Exclusive Runaway Railway merchandise at the D23 event this weekend at the Contemporary.
probably because it won't look like that.
How do you know that that's not just part of the projection?

Except that's a direct lift from an old Mickey Mouse cartoon that took place at the Chinese Theater

Random thought but I’m wondering if Disney will bring out the in-ride look of Mickey and Minnie for meet and greets to accompany the attraction.

Given it some thought. Yep, still don't like it. I think it's a combination of a few things. Not enough exaggeration on the RR serif font to differentiate it from the M&M font. It's too matchy-matchy both in color and visual weight. I also think the word "railway" needs to be either larger or smaller so the sign has more of an asymmetrical design.
Would I nitpick such a thing? Of course! And what better place than on a forum where I can voice my opinion on something that displeases me!

I don't see any A/C on the carts!
Looks like a continuation of the older screenshot. This must be near the beginning of the ride or the very end of the ride. Can just barely make out a Mickey and Minnie setting up for a picnic in the background.

And you might have to sit near a stranger. What kind of ride is that?!?!
I believe it’s leaving load.

I found it an odd choice too. That style of flare-serif lettering evokes more of an exotic Jungle Cruise / Tarzan vibe. It seems to be based on Spurred Egyptian from Letterhead Fonts (a go-to source for Disney).Given it some thought. Yep, still don't like it. I think it's a combination of a few things.

Agreed. I wonder if their original intent was to have a slab-serif font but everything kept coming up Rio Grande/Western Town-like and so they opted for this. I particularly dislike the tails on the R and the awkward As with the flair at the top instead of having the decorative element at the crossbar. I wonder if Letterhead Font's Elixir or something in that family would work for this purpose?
The ideal font is out there somewhere, likely slapped on a steamer trunk.

Out of all the things coming to WDW right now, this is the one I'm definitely most excited for.
EVEN THOUGH I WANTED TO BE MUGSY AND EVEN HAD A COPY OF THE SCRIPT UNTIL DISNEY ANNOUNCED THAT THE RIDE WAS CLOSING AND THAT MADE MY TEMPTED TO RIOT-

One posted above.
There was also info that the whistle from Steamboat Willie will be used in the train and that Imagineering used special paint that works in white and black light.
