First look at the new Mickey Mouse ride at Disney World


DISNEY World’s new Mickey and Minnie Mouse ride has finally opened – the first time a ride dedicated to Mickey in his 92 years.

The new ride features trackless vehicles which go around the attraction, watching animatronic figures and theatrical effects.

The ride, called Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway, opened at Disney’s Hollywood Studios today, replacing the Great Movie Ride at the Chinese Theatre.

The story of the ride is of Mickey and Minnie saving the day, with bright animations and slapstick cartoons along the way.

Passengers start in a viewing room where they watch as one-minute cartoon of the Perfect Picnic, created exclusively for the ride, before boarding the train.

Each guest cart ‘splits’ from each other, throwing them around the trackless ride as chaos ensues, meaning where you sit changes what you see every time you ride.

Guests will see a neon carnival, underwater scenes and even a brand new character – a bird called Chuuby.

Donald and Daisy Duck also feature along the way, as well as Goofy and Jackhammer Pete.

Kevin Rafferty, executive creative director at Walt Disney Imagineering, said: “We’ve taken our whole grab bag of theatrical tricks and blended them together so seamlessly you won’t be able to tell whats what.

He added: “There is more happening in each and every scene than you could possibly have time to see in just one experience.”

Disneyland in California will also house the new ride, but it won’t be opening until 2022.

However, it will be the first new attraction in 15 years for Disneyland, excluding the new Star Wars attraction.

We experienced Disney World’s new Rise of the Resistance ride before it opened, the new 14-minute ride where you fight the Resistance.

Disneyland guests won’t be pleased to hear that the Haunted Mansion will be closed for months, due to important restoration works.

A couple had their first dance at their wedding with Mickey and Minnie Mouse after getting married at the park.

New pictures of the £3.5bn theme park dubbed “Britain’s Disneyland” have been revealed, showing the new lands and rides to be expected when it opens in 2024.
