Description
In Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway riders join Goofy on a train ride through cartoony sets, where they often meet Mickey, Minnie and other well-known Disney characters. The ride uses a combination of real sets and special animations that are developed to create more depth than traditional 2D animations.
The pre-show takes place in a cinema screening through which guests watch the beginnings of a Mickey and Minnie cartoon. During the film, the screen explodes due to Goofy's mishaps, leaving an entrance for guests to enter 'into' the cartoon themselves.
The ride uses a series of trackless vehicles to transport riders. When entering the station, five of these vehicles are following each other; one locomotive and four vehicles for passengers, resembling a train. However, technically these 'trains' consist of five independent cars, which split up during the ride sequence and rejoin for the finale.
History
Second installation of the ride, after the version in Disney's Hollywood Studios.
