The attraction opens to the public in Fall 2019.

    "The specific visual requirements of Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway attraction require imaging systems that meet the highest technical requirements of precision color rendition and brightness. Panasonic's laser illuminated projectors do that extremely well," said Tom LaDuke, Principal Show Systems Designer, Walt Disney Imagineering. "We look forward to working with Panasonic to push technological boundaries that bring our guests to places only previously achieved in their imaginations."

As part of this long-term agreement, Disney Parks have access to the latest in Panasonic's market-leading projectors with advanced image processing and lens solutions.

    "We are pleased to have the opportunity to once again provide Panasonic's cutting-edge projection technology for a new Disney Parks attraction, especially for the first-ever ride-through Mickey Mouse attraction," said Ron Martin, director, Panasonic Hollywood Laboratory, a unit of Panasonic Corporation of North America. "Panasonic is proud to help Disney Parks immerse their guests in the animated world of Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse in a way that has never been done before."

    Panasonic already maintains a significant technology presence at Disney Parks in attractions that include: Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage at Disneyland Park; Radiator Springs Racers at Disney California Adventure Park; Haunted Mansion and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at Magic Kingdom Park; Frozen Ever After and Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros at Epcot; Na'vi River Journey at Pandora – The World of Avatar at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park.

    TRICIA JONES: I heard that you were going to propose to Brandi Svenning at some theme park. When are men going to learn that women want ROMANCE, not Mr. Toad's Wild Ride...

    BRODIE: Hey, now, be fair. EVERYONE wants Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.
