Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway is an innovative and immersive dark ride located at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World Resort, Florida. This attraction is the first-ever ride-through attraction featuring Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse as the main characters, providing guests with a one-of-a-kind adventure alongside the iconic duo.
The story of Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway revolves around Mickey and Minnie as they embark on a whimsical journey to their favorite picnic spot. The adventure quickly takes a surprising turn when guests are pulled into the wacky and unpredictable world of a Mickey Mouse cartoon short.
One of the standout features of this attraction is the use of state-of-the-art technology called “2 1/2 D” (two-and-a-half-dimensional). Unlike traditional 3D attractions that require special glasses, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway uses cutting-edge projection mapping and special effects to create the illusion of three-dimensional characters and environments within a two-dimensional cartoon-like setting. This innovative approach allows guests to step into the cartoon world and become part of the story.
The ride vehicles themselves, called “Runnamuck Railroad” trains, are whimsically designed to resemble classic cars from the golden age of animation. Each train is driven by Goofy, and guests board the train for a wild and zany ride full of surprises and laughter.
Throughout the attraction, guests encounter beloved Disney characters, vibrant scenes, catchy tunes, and a healthy dose of slapstick comedy. The ride is filled with clever nods to classic Mickey Mouse cartoon shorts, making it a nostalgic and heartwarming experience for Disney fans of all ages.
Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway is a testament to Disney’s commitment to storytelling and innovation. It brings the magic of Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse to life in a whole new way, redefining what a theme park attraction can be.
