Overview
- Host Tom Morrow 2.0 visits Senior Creative Producer Thomas at Walt Disney Imagineering to answer how a trackless ride is controlled.
- Using Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the episode demonstrates the system in a working attraction.
- Vehicles navigate by reading tiny embedded markers in the floor that tell them where to be and where to go.
- Thomas notes the vehicles can move forward, backward, sideways, and perform coordinated dance‑like choreography.
- Possible future integrations such as drop towers, motion bases, or water are discussed as ideas rather than announced projects.
