Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway confirmed

[Giss Neric]

Yep. It‘s terrible. I really wish they would ban recording videos on rides. Not only does it spoil stuff and is distracting for other riders but it rarely looks good. The videos for ROTR do not do it justice at all.

NO, I wholeheartedly disagree. That's what I like about Disney is they allow filming on rides as compared to Universal where they are so annoyingly strict on every ride, even the non-thrill rides. I often find myself entertained on watching other people's experience on the ride through their own video documentation.

I said what I said, I think Rise is vastly overrated. Deal with it.

Lol

Yeah, I love that you can watch POV videos of all the rides. If you don't want to find out what happens, just avoid watching them. Also staying off a WDW message board is another good idea if you don't want ride spoilers.

I have yet to ride ROTR and am trying to hold out watching anything or reading too much about til I get to try for this summer. So far, so good.

When it was running this morning, we counted 1,510 guests per hour exiting the ride.

I rode it twice last week. Once in the front car and once in the last car. I really enjoyed it the first time though in the front car and felt the entire experience flowed well. Then on the second ride in the back car I felt like I was playing catch up and entering rooms after the main action had already taken place.

The effects of the projections are really well done in my opinion and worked well. Ask for the front car.

And down to 1,200/hour in the last 30 minutes.

Nice touch - MMRR paper for the pretzels sold outside the Chinese Theater.

If they really bother you, just don’t watch them.

Otherwise, how would most fans be able to watch attractions from around the world?

It's not even a year old yet!

Posted was 105 right after we entered the standby line. We were in, on, and out within about 90 minutes.

This is much worse than expected. That means a dispatch every 76 seconds (assuming full trains). Anyone have a guess as to why so slow to dispatch?

I loved how they incorporated the Chinese Theatre in the line just like GMR, and was pleasantly surprised to see the decor (and overall concept of being in a theater) brought in as a main part of the pre-show, really tied everything together nicely. I was expecting when it was first announced that you'd walk in through the Chinese Theatre and then the inside would have been gutted and resembled nothing like the building you just walked into.



I may be in the minority, but I like the projection screen AAs. Especially when you're supposed to be in a cartoon, everything (including buildings and landscaping) being animated and moving along with the music/action really works well.

I really enjoyed the ride, alot more than I was expecting to. There is alot to take in, and your experience probably varies based on what car you get, so you can re-ride it quite a few times and still discover new things.

Mickey and Minnie look weird when they turn their heads and the nose slides off to the side where your ear would be,

I'm told this was pretty close to peak capacity.

Interesting. That is different than what other well-sourced people had reported here (albeit a couple years ago).

Thank you for sharing!

I also enjoy the POV videos but what would be cool is if the parks banned cameras and released their own high quality POV on social media so we can still enjoy it, and not have a million people waving their cell phones in the air.

I know when I go to Disney I'm going to enjoy the actual rides and let others worry about filming.

 

[DisneyfanMA]

speaking of POV I think the ride itself looks excellent and surpasses my hopes. As always you wish it were a scene or two longer, but it is nice that Disney has finally brought a few trackless rides with 21st century tech stateside. Very exctied for my kids to experience this soon (virus permitting)

With how often the DPB changes camera angles at the worst possible moment during the 4th of July and New Year's fireworks livestreams, there's no way I'd trust them to post decent POV videos.

Ops has been having trouble grouping. This should hopefully get better with time.

Animated thumbnails, autoplaying videos, disrupting other riders,etc. You haven’t been paying attention.

Is there just not enough time to split people up and get them into rows before the next train arrives? Or does it have to do with the pre-show?
