DHS Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway confirmed

[Surferboy567]

Yeah, Runaway Railway will mark Russi Taylor's final performance as Minnie. I even stumbled upon a picture of her at a recording booth for the ride that was posted by one of the crew members as a tribute. I believe the photo is surfing somewhere on this website. If anyone is able to find that photo that I seen. Please let me know.

Found it, and it was posted by you

After the news of Russi Taylor's passing, Elyse Willis shared this photo of Russi during a recording session for Runaway Railway.


The latest Mickey Mouse short "Carried Away" also marked the last short that aired while she was still alive.

When does it release?

"Who Knows?"

"Who Knows?"

Went over my head as well.

Who knows!

Sorry @Smooth, I didn't see your post until I had done mine. So what we both know is who knows. Simple really!

Guys, I think Runaway Railway might be popular...

Fastpass completely gone for every attraction in Studios March 6th, that includes MuppetVision

If only 98% of the people on this site didn't say this should have been built elsewhere in the park with a major refurb to GMR to help spread the crowds.

I believe I have told you exactly 12 million times never to exaggerate.

Apologies if this was already linked.

You can download the sheet music for the potatoland fugue that will be playing in the queue!

Hoping that if/when the second half of march pushes up their time to 8am, I'll be able to snag a FP for one of the weekend slots. Gotta keep my eyes over here to see who spots it first

I just planned a last minute to trip I was able to book a room in French Quarter.March13-20. This ride will be open by then how does everybody think I should book this fast pass if available. I have 60 days before the 30 day rush so hopefully I can catch one. I haven’t been to good ol’ Disney World since April 2017 so this trip was a last minute well needed decision. I haven’t experienced Toy Story, Galaxy’s Edge, or Pandora, Happily Ever After, or nighttime at Animal Kingdom so I missed a lot. Any tips on the fast pass because I know the teirs are weird.

Does any one have any idea if there are likely to be AP or DVC previews? We travel home on the 4th March and couldn't get a fastpass otherwise is wait until November when we are back again.

At this point it doesn't seem so. No Cast Member preview have been announced either.

Now I get it. It's a fugue. So, in Italian, the style is 'fugato.'

 

[Surferboy567]

So...take this information with a MASSIVE grain of salt. I know the pitchforks come out when I mention Jim Hill but here goes. On a recent “Disney Dish” Jim states that he expects the Runaway Railway to soft open a week to 10 days before opening. I’m not saying this is definitely going to happen but given how confident they appear to be I believe this is plausible. Anyone that is in front of the Chinese theater during this time frame and it happens I’m sure they will let us know.

From the Italian:

I would be very upset if they soft open this and not have a cast member preview or even an AP preview.

I think they would of announced Cast Member or AP previews already...also did cast get to ride yet? Those specifically assigned to the attraction? I think the new president tweeted out a pic of him in the Goofy train barn.

I think it was @lentesta who had that bit of news on the pod, and I think the week to 10 days was a reference to how far ahead of schedule they are, not necessarily a specific timeframe for the potential soft open.

I think I'm the one that said it'd open early (I haven't listened to the show yet). That's just a hunch.

Do we know the ride length? Same as GMR?
