The Great Movie Ride [ Disney World ] Hollywood Studios Complete Experience

This is a POV of The Great Movie Ride at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Complete Experience video includes the line, pre-ride, and Pov of the ride in HD. Enjoy!
The Great Movie Ride was an attraction at Walt Disney World's Disney's Hollywood Studios theme park. It was a dark ride which took guests through scenes from famous films throughout history.
The ride was located inside a recreation of the famous Hollywood landmark Grauman's Chinese Theatre. However, because the Walt Disney Company was denied permission to use the name "Grauman", the proper name of the building was simply "The Chinese Theatre". (Also, at the time the attraction was opened, the actual Grauman's Theater was officially known as "Mann's Chinese Theater" as it was owned by the Mann movie theater group.) The facade was almost completely blocked from view in 2001 when a giant replica of The Sorcerer's Hat was built directly in front of the facade. The hat had served as the park's symbol until 2015 when it was demolished.

    I remember last year when I went in the ride, the narrator for alien was like " you are with sigourney weaver." And then mugzie turned around and he was like " what's a sigourney weaver?" And then when the alien came he was like " IS THAT A SIGOURNEY WEAVER?!??" He was really funny I liked him

    PixarShark The ride got a sponsorship with Turner Classic Movies and they made several changes. In the queue area, they added changing 3D posters of classic films and in the preshow, it's no longer the loop of trailers, it's now just a Robert Osbourne documetary about film history. The ride itself is overall the same but the script is changed with some Robert Osbourne narration. And then the finale montage is completely changed and much better in my opinion! I would check out a video of the updated version! :)

I think it had to do with the fact that I went on it with no idea what it was and I loved it so much that I went on it a second time. There are also two versions of the ride stop you never know exactly what you will get. This ride is a must.

    I love this ride! It was my first time on it and I had no clue it was a ride! Haha I just thought it was a theater that would just show us a bunch of movies. But I really got scared when they stole the Cast Member.

    This next movie is one of my favorite Disney movies. However these people should know that this was Walt Disney's last movie before he died.

    Back when I first went on this is 2002, I was like 10. And I had never seen Indiana Jones, so the part where they touch the gem and disappear in the smoke FREAKED ME OUT. I thought for sure something bad had happened! This ride was just as believable as a real movie when I was a kid (still is)!
