Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway is an upcoming dark ride attraction at Disney's Hollywood Studios in the Walt Disney World Resort.
Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway was first announced at the D23 Expo in July 2017 as part of the unveiling of 23 improvements to Disney Parks, including 4 new rides across the theme parks. It will replace The Great Movie Ride, which closed on August 13, 2017.
The ride will be themed upon the Mickey Mouse shorts shown on Disney Channel, and will be the first Mickey Mouse-themed ride-through attraction in the history of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts.
At the beginning of the ride, guests will be invited to watch the premiere of a new Mickey Mouse cartoon, in which Mickey and Minnie Mouse prepare for a picnic outing and encounter Goofy conducting a train. According to Imagineer Kevin Rafferty, guests will then pass through a simulated movie screen (as in the 2013 short Get a Horse!) where they will experience a “zippy zany out-of-control adventure”. Guests will then be transported into the cartoon and aboard Goofy's train, which takes them on a wild adventure.
The ride is described as "2 and 1⁄2 D" since no 3D glasses would be needed for the ride. It will also include more hidden Mickeys than any existing ride.
