Would you want Runaway Railway in Tokyo?

[BrerFoxesBayouAdventure]

Opinions on the ride are mixed but overall it seems to be a well received addition to the parks it's currently in, so I'm curious if people would be interested in seeing it get cloned to Tokyo's Toon Town. In my opinion, that area of the park is severely lacking in attractions and seems to be rather dated in certain aspects so a refresh as well as the addition of a new E-Ticket attraction seems like quite the appealing idea. Thoughts on this?

 

[FigmentsBrightIdeas]

Absolutely not. I’d like something much more tasteful & unique. Say an Oswald themed attraction ‘or’ a Mickey themed attraction that goes through all his eras (think somewhat like the video game; Mickey Mania: The Timeless Adventures of Mickey Mouse. Not just one strictly based on the newest Rudish directed shorts.)

They can't put it in Toontown in Tokyo without taking out Roger Rabbit and even then I don't think there is enough show room for it.

I think Tokyo is stacked with Fantasy Springs and Space Mountain's redo.

I imagine the next thing will be something of difference than what has gone into domestic parks.


I would much rather have Disney Sea get their own Mystic Manor than MRRR

Would be a bit similar to their BATB dark ride and geographically very close to it I think. Haven't they just finished updating their Toon Town as part of the Fantasyland expansion?

OLC is not really a fan of clones so I doubt we'll see it. And as other's have said, I don't think there's room in Toontown unless they sent Roger to Yesterland.

No, unless I missed something minor there were no changes to Toontown except for new CM costumes I think. Tokyo's Toontown is still Toontown 1.0 from the '90s.

I’m sure TDL could do better.

I'm trying to remain slightly spoiler free before I go back to Tokyo for the first time in probably 20 years by the time I get there but I know they opened Minnie's Style Studio meet and greet? Was that all they did?

Imagine MMRR plussed TDL style. It'd be more than incredible.

Ah yeah, I blanked on that. Have never experienced it so not sure how extensive it is.

Considering MMRR is essentially the size of DL's entire toontown, there'd be no way to fit it in TDL now that their toontown is landlocked

It's funny to look at how small Roger Rabbit is compared to Mickey and Minnie's... honestly don't think you get anywhere near the return on quality for the comparable size.

why is it so big? Isn't it smaller in WDW?

I think the building is configured differently since it was purpose built (at DL), but they look to be about the same size.

No

DL is bigger

No. I'm not crazy over runaway railroad and would rather see something new at Tokyo.
