I have a feeling Pete Werner's "You see things" was just as expected!

Please keep posting. I have to turn off Java to post on the DIS but none of the streams work now.

Special theme song being written for the ride...no word on who's writing it yet.

My 6 year old is watching this with me and is inconsolable that GMR is going away....

Mickey's Runaway Railway? It sounds like a fast ride.

 

[TheMaxRebo]

Mickey & Minnie's new ride is a zippy and fun ride with Goofy driving the train.

I wish.

I'm not happy with this announcement. I love GMR, but was open to it changing to a ride about Mickey's movies through the years. Turning it into a kiddie coaster and using that horrible animation? No. Just no.

It was described as "family" ride so my guess is that refers to the story not necessarily the ride type.

I'll never forget this moment...in a rail station in duluth, MN when I found out about Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railroad!

Nah, Goofy's the engineer.

No 3D glasses, new tech being developed.

 

[skier_pete]

Going to have some new technology they are calling 2 and a half D, no 3D glasses, though totally immersive.

Hmmm...also I think this is a tad disappointing in that really nothing new was announced. I guess being in there you get to see a lot of stars, but the clips seem to be coming out almost instantly on-line. I'm sure a great atmosphere, but it makes me think I'd prefer the parks panel instead in 2019. BTW, thanks again @rteetz for the updates and links...see everyone at 6 PM, maybe we'll get a stream.

Where are the clips? looking for the lion king one can't find anything.

 

[rteetz]

Mickey will not be 3D

 

[STLstone]

I like that they're inventing new technology. I have never been a fan of the Ren & Stimpy style Mickey, though.

I'll live with it, I'm sure.

 

[skier_pete]

Still they haven't said that it's replacing GMR, which I find interesting. They're either ignoring the fact on purpose or its not going there. (Probably the former.)
