Wald Disney World Florida has unveiled a new ride that has been in the making for nearly a century.

The first Disney ride-through attraction featuring Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway is now open!

The ride features a new original story and theme song to transport guests into the “wacky and unpredictable” world of “Mickey Mouse” and his super cute cartoon shorts.

Located inside the Chinese Theatre at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the ride begins with the premiere of the new cartoon short, “Perfect Picnic,” with Mickey and Minnie getting ready for a picnic.

As they head out, they drive alongside a train and find out that the engineer is Goofy. Then, you can climb aboard the Runnamuck Railroad for a zany adventure through a cartoon universe crammed with surprises.

Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway mixes classic Disney attraction design with cutting-edge technology to bring a two-dimensional cartoon into the real world.

The attraction features a combination of physical sets, audio-animatronics figures, animated media and projection-mapping techniques, all syncing in time with trackless vehicles and a jaunty musical score.
