Recently, the ride’s official release date was leaked by none other than a Disney Executive himself, quickly deleting and editing the Tweet. Now, Disney has finally given us a look at the new ride in action!

In the video, Liz, a Disney Imagineer discusses how exciting this new ride will be, likening it to a Haunted Mansion-type vehicle on a roller coaster track. The ride vehicles themselves can rotate as well as go backward, letting Guests get a great view of all the show scenes in the attraction.
Not much is known about the experience once the vehicle takes off, but we are eagerly anticipating the official opening which is supposed to take place this summer.
