Overview
- The removal that reporters noted Monday has left the Walt Disney World Railroad station with three Mutoscope machines on display instead of four.
- The missing machine featured Fritz Lang’s 1927 film Metropolis and was last seen by observers about a week earlier.
- The three remaining machines are labeled Car Train Bag, Way Down East, and The Cats in the Bag and remain available for guests to view.
- Cast Members contacted on site did not know when the Metropolis machine was taken and Disney has not issued any public statement about its status.
- The machines were moved to the railroad station after the Main Street Penny Arcade closed in 1995, and past temporary removals for cleaning or repainting mean the Metropolis Mutoscope could return but its future is currently unclear.
