Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway confirmed

[marni1971]

This isn’t random but will there be an actual “train” car?

Yes.

 

[Imagineer Mitch]

Yes.

This makes me extremely happy

 

[EricsBiscuit]

Yes.

Will the locomotive be a 2-4-0,0-4-0, 0-3-0 or what?

 

[JEANYLASER]

Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway will have a fast pass+ In that ride entrance?

 

[dennis-in-ct]

We're not. In my opinion of course.

Whilst it'll be very fun it's no GMR. Nor should the GMR have been sacrificed for this. Even with the reasons why it happened.

I still haven't gotten over the loss of Epcot's HORIZONS.
Seriously, that should never have been touched.

The problem wasn't that it was removed, the problem was that it was never updated and they just let it sit there and rot.

Could this have fit in the old animation building?

 

[brb1006]

Could this have fit in the old animation building?

Yes and it has more space.

 

[marni1971]

Yes and it has more space.

No. Totally the wrong shape. Too many load bearing structures in the way. And no flat floor.

But the surface area is greater than the GMR.

 

[Next Big Thing]

Could’ve just torn down the animation building and done a new build.

 

[RSoxNo1]

Or Mermaid. Or Disney Junior.

The GMR is a perfect example of Disney fans vs regular people. Regular people hated the GMR. Rated just above root canals on the fun scale.

Disney fans hated it too. It was rundown and ignored. I don’t lament the loss of the physical ride. I lament the loss of the concept. It should have been gutted and given completely new show scenes. The concept of entering movies still works, as Universal shows us.

I miss the GMR so much but Isn't that technically the concept for the Mickey ride? You are physically entering into a Mickey short.

That's not a real movie.

The concept was entering movies. Not a cartoon. Does Midway Mania = GMR?

As does Disney.
It’s all they know how to do nowadays actually.

Frozen, Little Mermaid, Ratatouille, Tron, Mine Train, TSL, SWL.
It’s all “entering movies”.

GMR was about the genres of cinema through classic films

I think Walt would have a few things to say to someone that didn't consider his animated features to be movies. If memory serves me... GMR had Fantasia represented in the course of the ride.

And where did I say animated features aren’t movies?

 

[Goofyernmost]

If you didn't imply that... then I misread it, but, you listed what seemed to be an objection to having GMR turned into an animated ride. Emphasized by the repeating of the idea that GMR was for classic movies like most of the things were. However, I couldn't see why you thought that having a short at a movie would be out of place anyway. For years and years all movies had a short before it started. That's just the way it came across to me. If that is true... I apologize.

 

[Timothy_Q]

If you didn't imply that... then I misread it, nyway.

You should reread the conversation prior to my comment.

The person I’m replying to is the one saying cartoons aren’t movies
