Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway confirmed

They could always staple X wings onto the Astro Orbiters.

Hot glue and duct tape!

The theming isn't the issue, the location is. If they want to put that back in Galaxy's Edge, by all means. It can be Chris Beatty's meet and greet and spinner extravaganza.

Disneyland needs to remove things from a guest flow standpoint. It needs to creep out onto the water more in New Orleans Square and somehow widen the entrance corridors of Adventureland. The Astro Orbiter needs to move and Tomorrowland needs to be redone. The Tarzan treehouse needs to be removed or have it's entrance location changed. The queue for the Nemo Subs and The Matterhorn need to be modified because they create choke points as well.

An average crowd day at Disneyland feels like a 10 at the Magic Kingdom at times. They should be making those changes now in anticipation of Star Wars Land.

They've already improved guest flow in Adventureland by removing the stroller parking from the middle of the street.

It's also been said they'll be removing the rocks from the entrance of Tomorrowland and redesigning the Fantasmic watching area in New Orleans to improve crowd flow before SW opens

I don't think they'll have the attraction open in time for Mickey's 90th. I think we will get a sizable amount of coverage on the attraction, maybe even an opening date, but it unfortunately won't be ready in time.

They can afford to take care of all 6 domestic parks at once.

I know. Gasp.

prove that they can? I agree with you 100% but they have tended to do waves....cali got a ton of work while Florida got meh. and now it looks like it's floped minus star wars.

Disneyland hardly needs more attractions at the moment. let's fix one coast than we can swing back around. granted if it's very popular here I wouldn't be suprised if it's cloned.

I see they have a new attraction called Cooling Tower of Legionnaires Disease.

saw that myself i was surprised cooling towers are usually held to high standards because of this.

The latest short made for Mickey's Birthday is so cute.

There actually some serious parallels between that short and the ride.

Let me rewatch it 8 times

The Mad Chatters Podcast did a recent episode where the Christopher Willis (The composer for the new Mickey Mouse shorts) does an interview about working on the shorts and gives an inside look on Runaway Railway.

Something missing before "showtime", perhaps? A......runaway railway, if you will? lol

 

[PorterRedkey]

Has it been addressed why the Chinese Theater facade was chosen to remain? Budget conscious I take it?

Because it's awesome!

The site that shall not be named is reporting that M&MRT will be handed over to operations in April of 2019. The site speculates a possible opening of May 1st to correspond with the 30th anniversary of the park.

Take this with a grain of salt considering the source.

 

[PorterRedkey]

On this site, we call that info two month ago.

There are some very well-informed members here. We are lucky to have them!

PorterRedkey is talking about the Mickey and Minnie ride in 2019 and you're quoting a post about Toy Story Land in 2018.

Oh, then... that's very different.

Nevermind.

WDW Clues Beignet decided to "drop the BREAKING bomb" of the RVs being the train, while Mickey and Minnie follow along in their car. Although, they claimed each RV would hold only 4 people per car, with 4 cars, which I have definitely heard differently with closer to 36 per train. (approx 9 per car)

Thanks - but who is WDW Clues Beignet?

The aforementioned site is reporting that there will be 10 AA's in the ride.
