Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway attraction is now open at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The innovative ride-through attraction takes guests on a journey through a recreation of the Chinese Theatre and into the world of Mickey Mouse cartoon shorts.
The attraction features Walt Disney Imagineering’s original ‘Perfect Picnic’ story, where Mickey and Minnie try and find the perfect location to have a romantic picnic as they drive through Runnamuck Park in their red convertible. The story is accompanied by the new song ‘Nothing Can Stop Us Now.’
On the journey, guests will attempt to avoid a twister, visit a carnival, escape an exploding volcano, drive through a waterfall and experience a stampede through the Wild West.
Josh D’Amaro, Walt Disney World’s president, spoke about the opening of the new attraction: “Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway is a crowning achievement in the multiyear transformation of Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
“What was once a theme park that took you behind the scenes, now puts you in the centre of your favourite stories,” D’Amaro added.
