Disney theme parks have been around for 65 years as of 2020 and the Walt Disney Company is approaching its 100th birthday, and somehow, Mickey Mouse had never had a theme park ride dedicated to him until today. Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway made its public debut today following a media event last night, and so now we have the first impressions of the ride itself. We're not going into spoilers for those who want to experience the ride for themselves on their next Walt Disney World vacation, but the good news is the ride is getting a pretty strong positive response overall.
Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway inhabits the Chinese Theater, the former home of The Great Movie Ride at Disney's Hollywood Studios. That ride used a traditional dark ride track system to take guests through animatronic sets that recreated classic movies. The new attraction uses a trackless system and takes guests through cartoon scenes, based in the style of the modern Mickey Mouse shorts, and guests seem to appreciate the upgrades.
MMRR WAS SO GOOD. Trackless rides are so diverse, I'm glad the US parks are finally getting their fair share of them.

Disney's Hollywood Studios has been undergoing a pretty serious update over the last few years. First there was the addition of Toy Story Land, then Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. Now, with the opening of Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway, the final piece of the puzzle, at least for now, seems to be complete.
While the hype for this ride probably wasn't quite as big as all the elements of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, any new ride is exciting, and for serious Disney fans, anything with Mickey Mouse is important.
