The Great Movie Ride Replacement. The great movie ride was an attraction at disney's hollywood studios at walt disney world resort and a dark ride which took guests through scenes from famous films throughout motion picture history. The new ride immerses guests in mickey and minnie’s cartoon world, where the two beloved mice search for a perfect picnic spot at runnamuck park.
The great movie ride is the premiere attraction and symbol of the park, similar to epcot's spaceship earth and the magic kingdom's cinderella castle. The great movie ride was in dire need of a major update, and i feel that runaway railway delivered a very good replacement. The style is based on the 21st century mickey mouse shorts by paul rudish.
©disney the great movie ride was an experience only disney could have come up with, as it took the concept of a guided tour through the world of movies and made it completely literal.
The current ride will be shut down shortly after the deal ends and planning for a replacement attraction has already begun. Located inside a replica of the famous hollywood chinese theater, the ride took guests on a journey through some of the most iconic movie moments throughout the history of the american industry, specifically from the golden age of hollywood to new hollywood. If you could have just one of these two closed attractions restored, would you rather maelstrom or the great movie ride? It's nice to have something in the chinese theater again.
