The ride opened last month after years of successful operation at the Chinese Theater in Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World Resort, the former home of The Great Movie Ride.
Unfortunately, fans report that the Disneyland Park version of Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway is experiencing frequent breakdowns and HVAC issues that have become dangerous for some Guests.
This week, a group of Guests sat horrified as they pulled up to the exit of Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway and realized no Cast Members were present. They were seconds from leaving the ride but remained locked under lap bars. @waltdisneyworldparks shared a video from the incident:

It’s unknown whether this incident occurred at Disneyland Park or Disney’s Hollywood Studios. However, the creator confirmed in the comments that the Guests were trapped under their lap bars.
Remember that Disney Cast Members work hard to keep Guests safe and were likely handling a high-priority situation when they left their positions at the exit of Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway.
Eventually, Cast Members released the Guests. Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway is operating normally at Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort at the time of this article’s publication.
