Guests will step into the world of Mickey Mouse’s animated shorts and experience what it is like to live life in a cartoon. There will be a new “catchy theme song,” which is being created specifically for the attraction and the start of the ride will be with the premiere of a brand new cartoon.
“On the attraction, the fun begins when you see the premiere of a new cartoon short with Mickey and Minnie getting ready for a picnic. As they head out, they drive alongside a train and find out that the engineer is Goofy. Then, one magical moment lets you step into the movie and on Goofy’s train for a wacky, wild ride.”
Many fans already miss the Great Movie Ride, but Disney is promising something very exciting and very innovative with this new attraction.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios is getting a complete overhaul with new lands and a whole host of new attractions that are going to change the landscape of Walt Disney World. While many are excited about Toy Story and Star Wars, the original Disney characters cannot be forgotten about. Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway has now been confirmed to open in 2019, and it will definitely be an experience like you’ve never had before.
