Detailed Look at Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway Cast Member Costumes and Ride Vehicle Model from 2019 D23 Expo

    The D23 Expo is underway at the Anaheim Convention Center and ahead of the big Parks & Resorts panel this afternoon, we wanted to give you a closer look at some of the things that are already on display including the Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway Cast Member costumes and ride vehicle model!

    With Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway set to open in Spring 2020, Disney has revealed the Cast Member costumes and ride vehicle model at the 2019 D23 Expo. While the ride won’t open in 2019 (as we told you first), it will surely become a wonderful addition to the lineup of attractions at Disney’s Hollywood Studios when it debuts in 2020.

    Located in the Chinese Theater, which serves as the centerpiece for the park, Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway will take guests on a zany ride through a Mickey Mouse short. Guests will enter the Chinese Theater as if they were going to watch the world premier of a Mickey Mouse short before they themselves are thrown into the middle of the action. Guests will board a trackless ride vehicle that resembles the train from the short, and Goofy will (try) to steer them through the various scenes without causing too much mayhem in the process.

    A model of that very train was on display at the 2019 D23 Expo and we have some photos of it to share with you thanks to our friends at DiscoverTheMagic.blog.

    This is the ride vehicle that guests will board. This is actually two different trackless vehicles that will move and function as a single train (for some of the ride, at least). By making each vehicle trackless, it allows for the two-row vehicles to break off into different sections of the ride and introduce “cartoon physics” to the ride experience.

    Also on display were the Cast Member costumes for the attraction. The costumes are really cool in the sense that they appear to be equal parts inspired by the concept of a movie theater usher as well as a train conductor.

    We’ll be bringing you up-to-the-minute coverage of the 2019 D23 Parks & Resorts panel as the news breaks at 1:30pm EST, so keep checking back with us here at BlogMickey.com throughout the day!
