Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway confirmed

[rle4lunch]

You’ll have that Cars show thing. That’s about it.

A big ol meh.

Potter Coaster should be open.

Not trying to get off topic, but I haven't seen it anywhere... is is safe to say that the Potter coaster is planned to open at the end of May or early June? I saw that Uni has promotional tickets with extra days which are expiring at the end of May.

Memorial Day is the target.

Memorial Day is the target.

They seem to be on target, too.

Then again, it is an Intamin...

It's going very, very well. I can't say much more.

Well see how smooth everything goes once they get to testing. Here’s hoping everything works out well.

 

[iowamomof4]

Wait... we're talking about a ride at Universal now?? I'm confused.

 

[Goofyernmost]

Yea, the runaway train seems to have jumped the tracks.

 

[MisterPenguin]

Gawrsh, Hagrid, didn' mean ta ruin your fancy straw hut, hyuck!

They have a rack at the end of the aisle.

Is that where they keep the BOGO's?

Finally got a chance to watch some of the new Mickey shorts, honestly they're pretty great, not sure why I had so many grievances upon the fact that they were using the new character designs for the ride. Should be interesting to see what they cook up.

In particular, I'm curious to see what the animatronic Mickey and Minnie look like and how they will envision the characters in three dimensions instead of the 2D we've seen them in the shorts.

My guess is it’ll be similar to the seven dwarfs animatronics.

It remains to be seen whether the design/effects of the animatronics is part of the “2 1/2 D” thing.

Also, it’a noteworthy that @lentesta/TouringPlans lists it as a “major attraction” (third tier, behind “headliner” and “super headliner”). I wonder if that’s an error, or just them being conservative with their predictions?

I will be surprised if it’s not a headliner. But you never know what kind of ride you’ll get from current management.

It's really a super headliner. If it was opening in a year with nothing else, it would likely be right up there. However...

From what our insiders who've seen the specs have said, then Len is way off.

Going by their excitement the tiers would be:

​

1. Class by itself, Super E+ (Super Headliner): RotR​

​

2. Super Es (Headliners): SWSR, MMRR, ToT​

​

3. Regular Es (Major Attractions): F!, Indy Stunt Show, RnRC, Star Tours​

​

4. Ds (Minor Attractions): the projections shows with their now greatly reduced fireworks, TSM, MV3D, Frozen Singalong, Ariel show, BatB show, Slinky​

​

5. Cs (Diversions): Launch Bay, M&Gs, Jedi Academy, Saucers, SW Stage Show, SW First Order March, WD Presents​

Of course, such divisions can get rather subjective whether something belongs one step up or down. Problem is that Len only has four levels above 'Diversions' and DHS is going to have a whole bunch of E-Ticket rides that invite further classification.
