For this video series, I will show theme park rides in their original version versus re-themed / rebuilt attractions. This is a side-by-side comparison of The Great Movie Ride (1989 - 2017) with Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway (2020 - Present).
Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway is a trackless dark ride located in the Walt Disney World Resort in Bay Lake, Florida, and in Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California. The attraction, the first Mickey Mouse-themed ride-through attraction at a Disney theme park, features an original story based on the stylized world from the Paul Rudish television series.
The attraction was first announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios at the D23 Expo in July 2017 as part of the unveiling of 23 improvements to Disney Parks, including four new rides across the Florida theme parks. At Disney World, the attraction opened in Disney's Hollywood Studios on March 4, 2020, and is housed within the park's replica of Grauman's Chinese Theatre, replacing The Great Movie Ride. At Disneyland, the attraction opened in Mickey's Toontown on January 27, 2023, and is housed in a new show building within the El CapiTOON Theater, a pun on the El Capitan Theatre.
