DHS Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway confirmed

[Disgruntled Walt]

How does the ride it contains affect whether it’s a weenie or not?

I was replying to a post that implied that the Chinese Theatre's status as a weenie made it an appropriate location for MMRR.

Got it, and sorry for missing the context!

It’s more that i’m saying Chinese theatre is a better choice because it makes it clear this is the real world. Seeing the hand prints and water features of the chinese theater and entering the “screening” sells we’re in the real world. Then the movie suddenly brings us through to the cartoon world and entering movies, bridging the old hollywood theme to the new world of said movies theme DHS created with SWGE and TSL.

Do we know if the cast member hand print wall from GMR survived this building renovation?

I believe it is all gone now. Half of that hallway was destroyed during the GMR demo, but the other half was intact at least for a little while during MMRR construction. Never seen any proof or remember hearing anything from anyone specific about the other half being removed, so it is possible that it's still there.

It’s a good fit for studios….. in the el Capitoon not the Chinese theatre.

I have always been on the small team that says it should have gone into Storybook Circus.

...Or... Literally could have put it in Animation Courtyard and replaced Launch Bay.

I agree that it works better conceptually but does it work better in practice? Like does having that human to toon world transition outweigh the superior queue at Disneyland?

No
