Disneyland has officially delayed the opening of an anticipated new ride for over a year as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway, which already opened at Disney World this year, is the first-ever ride themed after Mickey or Minnie at either resort, Disneyland confirmed upon announcing plans for the ride back in 2019.
