I really hope that the theatre facade stays and it's brand new content on the interior. Now, it's just a matter of time until the IP(s?) are revealed.

This ride is purely nostalgia for me at this point, the scripts are cringe worthy for me to listen to nowadays so I would be excited to see what takes its place. It would great if they keep the facade though.

I think that the blue light saber effect during the nighttime show could have some influence on the design.
The only thing left of Hollywood Studios is Sunset Blvd., really. I just see a less sophisticated version of the park in the years to come. They'll rename the park along with its sections: Star Wars Land, Muppet Land, Toy Story Land, Hollywood Land, Disney Junior Land, and Crossroads, USA.

Oh if it's closing in a few years, then by next week it'll be the last time i'll ever be on this classic Disney-MGM(Hollywood)Studios attraction
I do. What happened to the blessing of size.

Not crazy about closing this ride but would be okay with Mary Poppins or Wizard of Oz ride
Mary Poppins make sense wit the new movie coming soon.

GMR is very dated though. It could be gutted and rebuilt with the existing themes but that feels a bit pointless. I agree they need more attractions overall at DHS and the shows in particular should have all been replaced 10 years ago or more. But I'm no more sad that GMR is getting killed off than when Uni got rid of Jaws.
If DHS had moved with the times and replaced show scenes every two years with different or newer classic movies then maybe GMR wouldn't feel as dated and stale.

As in the ride system? It would be a shame to lose
Thank you, Gilbert! BTW, loved you in the new Sharknado!"Well, there's a big surprise. That's an incredible - I think I'll have a heart attack and die from that surprise."

Wow. Sad. The park is falling apart. They should just close the park and reopen it in a few years when it's done. Oh, wait...they will lose money so that would never happen. What is so odd to me, is I always felt that DHS was much better off then Epcot. I always felt Epcot needed redoing the most. But heck, what do I know.
That ride system is the most unreliable thing ever. Breaks all the time. Plus it uses people which is a huge cost. I think it's safe to say that it's going away, or at the very least being automated with new vehicles.

I love this ride and feel like I've taken its awesomeness for granted now. *sniff* Most kids I know love it, even though they've never heard of 75% of the movies on the ride. The ONLY thing I would be onboard with is keeping the experience intact with classic Disney movies. A Blackbeard's Ghost montage would rule, just sayin'.

Very dated? Aren't classic movies still classic? Sure the animatronics could be updated, but I still find most of the scenes relevant to the ride's theme. Okay, Alien and Tarzan could use an update, but this attraction still remains popular and fits the current theme.
Now if this is because the park's new name and direction will be entirely different, then maybe I can understand it more. I just agree with Martin and others who would prefer to see new attractions added from scratch as opposed to scrapping those that already work.
