6. Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway (Disney's Hollywood Studios)
Opened: March 4, 2020
Perhaps the biggest opening of the year was Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway at Disney's Hollywood Studios, which is a trackless dark ride that uses "2 1/2 D" technology to transport guests inside the zany world of the Mickey Mouse shorts.
Though this attraction's pre-show is not running due to social distancing and trains have been outfitted with plexiglass, this attraction is essentially still running the same way it did on opening day.

Opened: June 30, 2020
After Universal Orlando Resort reopened over the summer, the resort surprised guests by announcing that the new Bourne Stuntacular show would be opening on June 30, 2020, just after the parks themselves began welcoming guests once again. This new live-action stunt show features chase scenes, fistfights, death-defying leaps and more, with live performers, high-tech props, and a giant LED screen.
8. Orion (King's Island)
