Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway confirmed

[Horizons '83]

Don’t make me laugh. You know why the delays occurred.

If I am remembering correctly, Frozen was a perfect example of trying to hit a deadline that ultimately was not quite ready for opening. You can go back as far as Test Track V1 as well, just a name a few examples.

They are going to open up 2 E-Tickets that close to each other with no big hoopla? Wouldn’t they want to space them out? I’m cool with 2 E-Tickets at the same time but wouldn’t they want to capitalize?



Absolutely agree with you and that’s for the better. It does worry me however that it seems kinda late. Your absolutely correct though, I have every confidence this ride will be great. We don’t want to have a Hagrids problem.

They won’t be that close. I wouldn’t be surprised to hear of guests on Rat by Presidents Day 2020.

If Mickey has slipped to May, I imagine it’s on purpose to have a new ride for summer. TDO has been less-than-pleases at numbers this summer as it was the first summer in years without something new.

Please don't come to WDWMagic and say "According to Jim Hill,........" We have our own sources with better track records than Jim.

We get near-daily threads about rumors from the clickbait site... I can handle a little Jim Hill with a side of salt. At least he's not starting a new thread every time the guy breathes.

I understood the Mickey ride stalled whilst brainpower was moved to RotR and had gone back to April. I anticipate Rat around April although it is moving quickly ahead.

So, three major rides opening within a six month time period? That's kinda fun!

And 4 within a 9 month time period. And 6 within a 24 month time period if you go out to summer 2021.

Even without that circumstance they wouldn't have rushed it to meet a rumor on the internet of an opening date.

 

[Surferboy567]

Has this ever happened before? Sounds historic, if true of course.

 

[Coaster Lover]

And 4 within a 9 month time period.

That 9 month period becomes even more impressive when you consider the Sky Liner and Riviera Resort will also open within that same window.

There was no rushing. Aiming was for the internally agreed date. Nothing internet about it.

Different divisions and budgets. Or we’d be still talking about the CBR, Yacht and Beach and Swan and Dolphin.

I don’t think you understand how rumors work, it came out as a rumor from a leak because that was the original goal date for the opening before any delays. Rumors coming from insiders aren’t just made up they all start from the company in one way or another.

Are there any photos or videos of the Oz tornado scene? I remember being surprised the first time I saw the Sorcerer's Apprentice scene, but I have no memory of what it looked like before that.

Thanks. I looked at it earlier, but didn't see that scene. I must have missed it.

Anyone care to provide a timestamp? I must have missed the scene as well.

And all LPS trackless rides!

WDW is going from 0 to 3 in a very short period

No. It was pulled during early previews.

Imagine what was built, but with an endlessly spinning house in the middle of a funnel cloud. Just like the movie. Plenty of gobo projections on the opposite wall and around the screen too. Like what was there but without comets.

And also much more wind. Did you ever see the size of the fan outlet in the opposite wall?

 

[SplashJacket]

Did you ever see the size of the fan outlet in the opposite wall?

Was there ever documentation of this fan outlet? I am now oddly intrigued.

Can't we all use a good laugh these days?
