The vehicles, be they cars, boats, or whatever mode of transportation determined by the theme of the ride, follow each other in sequence on a pre-planned path. Unlike other attractions, trackless rides do not follow a set route. Runaway Railway is the second Walt Disney World attraction with this type of movement, the first being Rise of the Resistance. Another technological development incorporated into the new attraction is a trackless ride system.Audio-Animatronic figures also add to the three-dimensional effect of the various scenes. In a sense, it is similar to Walt’s multiplane camera, except that this time the sets have multiple panels and screens, rather than the pictures themselves. The attraction utilizes projection mapping, in which video imagery is projected onto three-dimensional objects, and when those images are moving, and the viewer – in this case, the Guest – is in motion as well, it makes for a very life-like effect that is, life-like in the sense that the Guest is part of the action, as the images in the Runaway Railway are created to resemble the hand-drawn animated short films. Simply put, it is three-dimensional, but without the funky glasses. Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway puts Guests right in the middle of animated short films using a technique called 2½-D technology.You’ll then board your very own Runnamuck Park train car – the very train that Goofy is steering – and set for five minutes of madcap adventures! Along the way you’ll see Mickey and Minnie gallop on horseback through a southwestern desert enjoy glittering carnival rides dodge a whirling tornado reminiscent of The Band Concert (the first color Mickey Mouse cartoon, released in 1935) cruise through a tropical island complete with an erupting volcano tumble over river rapids opening into a waterfall, before plunging “under the sea” drive through a busy city street (keep an eye out for Donald behind the wheel of a delivery truck) duck into Daisy Duck’s dance hall, (where you’ll enjoy a graceful waltz and a pulsating conga), witness a factory hard at work and finally make a romantic return to Runnamuck Park! He inadvertently allows the train to go off on its own…and then the antics begin. ![]() They pass Goofy, who is serving as the conductor of a train, and of course Goofy, being Goofy, has a lapse in his attention to his duties. The fun begins as you get to see view a new film, Perfect Picnic, in which Mickey and Minnie, accompanied by Pluto, are on their way to enjoy a cozy picnic in the country, a seemingly idyllic spot called Runnamuck Park (which should be the first clue that the day won’t pass as serenely as they would hope).
