I know they are popular (and I like them too), but they don't even come close to Star Wars popular. I don't see people camped out for days before the opening of a new Mickey Mouse movie the way Star Wars fans have done for new Star Wars movies in the past, etc. You might not like what I said, but it is the truth. If the Runaway Railway opening crowds come close to causing the park to have to add 3 extra hours per day for a couple months straight then I'll eat my words...
You can`t compare one ride to the opening of an entire new land.
Within a Disney park, Mickey et. al. certainly come close to Star Wars in popularity. There`s a difference between Star Wars fans and theme park fans, although there is overlap, of course.
I predict wait times for Runaway Railway, during its first year of operation, will be about the same as for Smuggler`s Run, unless Railway has greater hourly capacity. That`s not a bold prediction, either.
