History Ride / MickeyAndMinniesRunawayRailway

* NeverTrustATrailer: Commercials for the attraction imply that Goofy's engine accompanies the train through all the shenanigans that it gets involved in during the ride. In the actual ride, however, Goofy is only present at the very beginning and the very end, with his engine being separateed from the train for the majority of the ride.

''Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway'' is a dark ride attraction found at the Ride/DisneyThemeParks, based on the 2010s ''[[WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse2013 Mickey Mouse]]'' cartoons. It opened on March 4, 2020 at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Florida, replacing ''Ride/TheGreatMovieRide'', and January 27, 2023 at Disneyland in Mickey's Toontown.[[note]]It was initially scheduled to open in 2022, but it was delayed to 2023 due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.[[/note]]

In the past, there were several proposals for a ride based around WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse, including Mickey's Madhouse, a wild mouse roller coaster through black-and-white Mickey cartoons in a never-built land at Disneyland called Dumbo's Circusland. Later versions of this concept would be called Mickey's Movieland and Mickey's Studio Tour and would feature a madcap Disney studio tour featuring numerous characters and set pieces.

Housed in the Chinese Theater at Hollywood Studios or the El Capitoon Theater at Disneyland, guests are invited to watch the premiere of a new ''Mickey Mouse'' cartoon, ''Perfect Picnic'', in which Mickey and WesternAnimation/MinnieMouse and WesternAnimation/{{Pluto|ThePup}} prepare for a picnic outing and encounter WesternAnimation/{{Goofy}} conducting a train. Guests then pass through a simulated movie screen where they experience a zany, wild ride.

The ride features a new technology known as "2 and ​1/2 D" (3D without glasses) to give depth to the 2D environments, as well as more Hidden Mickeys than any existing ride.

* BookEnds: Guests first enter the attraction by going through the movie screen in the Chinese Theater. Guests then pass through the screen again when they exit the ride.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: [[LiteralMetaphor And how!]] During ''Perfect Picnic'', Goofy's train goes out of control and crashes in the Railroad's train barn, spreading so much debris around that it punctures a hole in the movie screen. Goofy then notices the guests and invites them to take a ride on the train. He then interacts with the cast member on duty, asking them to help the guests step inside the cartoon while he goes back in the barn to fix the train.

* EndOfAnEra: This was to be the last performance of Russi Taylor as Minnie. Taylor managed to record all of her dialogue before her passing on July 26, 2019.

* LowerDeckEpisode: Pluto's subplot, which involves him and Mickey and Minnie's picnic basket getting separated from the two mice and he spends the majority of the ride trying to bring the basket to them.

** There are a few references to the Hollywood Studios version's predecessor, ''Ride/TheGreatMovieRide'':
*** The twister scene is a nod to a cut element of the ride's ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'' section- the iconic tornado that sends Dorothy and Toto to Oz. Disney wound up being unable to afford a contract to use the scene, so they used the space meant for it to feature Mickey as "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" in ''WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}}''. To further cement the reference, among the debris carried by the tornado is a mailbox with the phrase [[TheresNoPlaceLikeHome "No Place Like Home"]] written on the side.

** At the ride's exit, there is a picture of Walt Disney driving a train on the Disneyland Railroad hung on the wall.
** To further add to the ride's story, the lobby of the Chinese Theater in the Hollywood Studios version displays a number of posters for previous shorts in the series. Its counterpart at the upcoming Disneyland version, the El Capitoon Theater, will feature an exhibit by the Toontown Hysterical Society showcasing props and costumes from classic Mickey shorts.
*** In addition, as seen in the black-and-white Mickey cartoon ''Mickey's Gala Premier'', the Chinese Theater was where his newest cartoon ''Galloping Romance'' premiered.
** The Disneyland version of the ride is planned to be located in a new building in Toontown titled the El [=CapiTOON=] Theater, a reference to the real life El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood California, which is owned by Disney and is where they premiere their newest films.
** The ride's entrance marquee is designed after the title cards used in the early black and white Mickey Mouse shorts.

* NeverTrustATrailer: Commercials for the attraction imply that Goofy's engine accompanies the train through all the shenanigans that it gets involved in during the ride. In the actual ride, however, Goofy is only present at the beginning and end, at which his engine is disconnected from and reconnected to the train, respectively.

** Also, the Disneyland version of the attraction is set in the El Capitoon Theater.

** Among the posters for attractions for the carnival is a poster for "The Great Moving Ride", which just appears to be a standard escalator. This is likely a reference to the "ride" at Escalator Land from ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'', albeit with the escalator going down instead of up.

* WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong: Said word-for-word by Goofy at the beginning of the ride, after which everything that can go wrong ''does'' go wrong.

** The premise of the ride itself is one to the climax of ''Mickey's Trailer'', in which the titular trailer is disconnected from Goofy, who's driving, totally oblivious to all that is going on. However, on the ride, it's Mickey that causes things to go wrong rather than Goofy.

* InevitableWaterfall: The train goes over one to escape from an erupting volcano
