Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway confirmed

[wdwmagic]

Hopefully we get details on the theme song...haven’t seen it be mentioned yet.

It is very short and repeats over and over. Poor CM's in that area are going to go insane apparently!

It sounds like cool ride. My son has ASD is delayed and couldn’t quite get the concept of the characters but he loves the cartoons so he would have loved this and realized who they are. Wish it was open when I went two weeks ago.

If small world hasn’t broken them yet...nothing is going to stop them now!

And my wife didn’t get a fast pass for this! I may just park hop during EPCOT to check this out.

Sounds like a fun ride everyone can enjoy. Perfect!

Thank you!

Glad to hear about the lobby area not being changed much. Sounds like a fun and somewhat chaotic ride, but hey! what else can we expect from Goofy being the train driver?!
Can't wait to ride!

A basic animatronic Mickey and Minnie appear at the start of the ride in a car riding alongside the train, using projections for the faces. The figures are not fully articulated figures, and are quite basic.

Ok now I get the previous comment relayed here about the AAs being weird. This sounds like a Buzz Lightyear kind of thing which just doesn't translate well to cartoon mice. Other than that it sounds like a cool ride.

The preshow and load - wow. The ride - oh. Fun. Not a GMR replacement.

- from someone who’s subjective opinion I completely trust.

Based on what I've seen, it seems a bit like a CarToon Spin successor. Interesting considering that they're putting this next to CarToon Spin in California.

 

[Surferboy567]

The thing is...it‘s just not fair to compare this to GMR. Lots will, and that’s fine but they are two completely different things. Happy to see it looks fun though! Excited to see more for myself.

Less linear and less physically defined.

 

[Surferboy567]

Btw...I love the tickets they are handing out.

Of course it is. They ripped out an anchor E ticket to put another ride in the same building with the same draw and iconic positioning.

They could have avoided that comparison by building this somewhere else and giving GMR the refurb it deserved.

I agree with this, but GMR was ripped out. It is what it is. We have MMRR now, I want to give it the chance it deserves and try not to compare it to an attraction that I grew up with.

What, and actually increase ride capacity? I think you overestimate their care of guest satisfaction.

 

[IMDREW]

Imagine DHS with an amazingly updated GMR and this in Animation Courtyard.

i think that’s a fair sentiment. It will hard to remove GMR from anyone’s mind, we all loved it for the most part. We all need to try hard enough to look at it as its own entity.

 

[Mickeyboof]

I’m curious what the reviews will be like from those who have never experienced GMR.

I never got to ride it, therefore to me and a lot others it’s not replacing anything.
