Great Movie Ride Question

[mateomouse]

Hey guys!!

I've ridden GMR tons of times, and one thing that I have always wondered is how the tour guides gets from either Gangster Alley or the Wild West to the Temple. I know that Gangster and the Temple back to each other, and a part of the Wild West also backs to the Temple, so do they just run across the ride path when there aren't any cars coming, or are there tunnels that take them under the track?

Maybe these two pages will offer some insight. I don't know myself.

I believe they use overhead catwalks, since they would indeed have to cross the ride path in the temple room to get to that set. I doubt they want CMs running across the path for safety reasons, and so as not to damage or dirty the guide wire in the floor.

Corridors, stairways and catwalks.

Asked a backstage magic tour guide this and she actually went over to the ride at lunch and found out. They go above.

So they do a little turn on the catwalk? On the catwalk?

Yes, the catwalk's right, said Fred.
