Spotlight on: The Great Movie Ride

Disney's Hollywood Studios has one of the greatest dark rides ever created. Now that is a bold statement, and it is true.

Housed inside a replica of Ming's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, CA the Great Movie Ride takes guests on an adventure straight into the movies.

Before entering the cue, take a look at the footprints in cement outside the front doors. Just like the ones in Hollywood. There are some funny ones here as well. Like Mickey Mouse and Kermit to name a few.

The cue to this ride is pure Disney. The detail, take it all in. Most people are so crazed to get to the ride that they miss the amazing work that went into the cue alone. The second part of the cue is in a movie theater, you serpentine through the line as you watch clips from some of the movies represented in the ride. Alien, Singing in the Rain, Footlight Parade, Indiana Jones. This part alone make you want to rush home and watch all of these movies again. Really, some you probably have not seen in some time or not at all. So the emotion that this brings to everyone is powerful.

You then board your moving theater cars (think Ellen's Energy Adventure at Epcot cars) with your host doing the driving.

I will not spoil what comes next, just say this. Like I have said many times before, you should let your self go a bit in Disney World. Imagine you are really there. When you pass by the Singing in the Rain scene, pretend to yourself that you right there watching from across the steet as this guy dances and sings. Or maybe your really on the Sulocke, scared to bits that some wierd Alien has taken all of your freinds and not it is after you. Just go with it, no one has to know your doing it. And if you do ... your experience will be that more magical.
