On March 4th, Disney will be opening yet another attraction at the Walt Disney World Resort. This time it’s Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. This ride is the first ever attraction that stars Disney’s world-famous icon, Mickey Mouse. Runaway Railway will take place in the Chinese Theater, the park’s cental icon. The attraction will use a trackless ride system similarly used in a lot of recently opened attractions at Disney Parks, such as Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. 

The story of the attraction is centered around you, the rider, are going to be riding through a Mickey Mouse short. You will first step into a pre-show where the screen will open up and you will walk through the screen and into the loading station. Once you board the attraction, you will take a wild ride through many different scenes all leading up to a picnic. The ride will use a new effect created by Walt Disney Imagineering called 2.5-D, which is essentially 3D without the use of special glasses. 

Not only is this attraction coming to Hollywood Studios in Florida, but a identical version is currently under construction at Disneyland in California. That version of the attraction isn’t scheduled to open for a few years, though. 

Mickey and Minnie’s Runway Railway seems like a very fun attraction coming soon that will hopefully entertain children and adults alike for years to come. Make sure to check it out if your visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios after March 4th!
