Mickey is not going to be on the train, it would defeat the object of his new meet and greet. Plus he has never been on the train before.

The Celebration Train is out for a soft run today.

The colour scheme looks like a bunch of kids threw up rainbows and glitter and sunshine on it.

That's one ugly thing. Until now this is the worst version of the character train. Who is responsible for this?

Someone high on LSD or some sort of drug I think.

The only good thing I can think about this is that it matches the colour scheme of my daughters sunglasses lol.

How garish! It would have been 10x better if they'd have went along with the same colour scheme as Main Street Celebrates - Gold & White.

Apart from the garish color scheme inflicted on it this year, something that has always bothered me about the various versions is that the front is still visibly a face with eyes, nose and hat that looks like it was blinded. Couldn't they just keep it as the representation of Casey Junior it's always been and simply add some sensible decoration (little flags, bunting, signs, whatever) on top of that?

The only way this hideous rainbow decor could be saved is if it was covered in the same LEDs as the station. The matt rainbow finish looks atrocious.

I really hope this won't be the final version! It's awful! And he has no eyes, which is kind of scary...

I like it, its bright and colourful and will look brilliant on a cold and grey rainy day! For those who don't like it, it will only appear three or four times a day for the next year! Then it will be repainted in another colour scheme for everyone to moan about!

I admire the concept, but in execution I think it looks poor. The colour look matte, and flat, and even the twenties on the side are a pale shadow of the one at the park entrance.

I agree it'll look great on a grey day - but even still, its more garish than magic.

I dont believe how cheap disney has made the train look, i agree on a dull day it will stand out...
But surely who ever decided that this type of effect is good needs to go to specsavers.
Surely this type of effect is doing more harm than making it good, it looks very cheap. sorry to be negative but surely im not the only person to think its cheap and nasty looking

Why do we even need this train, other than to gather people up to watch this sporadic show? All they need is the castle stage. They can do it on there!
