Does anyone know the popularity of "The Great Movie Ride" since the hat has been up? Has attendence gone down? I'm sure it has, the hat completely blocks the view...all I'm thinking, they better not remake that attraction...it's a classic!

I agree. Even though I'm used to seeing it, it just looks cheap. It really does.
Sorry, it's being changed soon suposedly, with the dropping of MGM stuff and all.

I'll take a shot at answering your question. Some months ago, I came across a website that someone else here can probably name, but I only ran across it in passing. It was a website that commented on how WDW was going downhill because money wasn't being spent to keep the park up to Walt's standards. This website had photos of things such as chipped and peeling paint in public areas (gasp!), and the old Nautilus submarines from 20K all stacked up in some scrap yard, and it also had photos of:
(drum roll, please)
The MGM Water Tower Santa hat in a decrepit state!!!! NOOO!!!
The caption accompanying the photo was along the lines of, "Don't look for a return of this Santa Hat, because as the photo demonstrates, it has rusted to poo." Or words to that effect.
Since this is purely from recall, and not based upon recent review, please feel free to find the website and debunk at will.

Ok, I know the ride is really boring and all and maybe it does need to go...I still like it...but, what exactly can they put in the Old Chinese Theater? Well, it kinda be cool to have a ride of all the disney movies, sticking with the movie aspect.

Putting the ride aside for a moment, the structure is beautiful and captures the overall Hollywood ambiance that is being depicted in the entire street. The HAT ruins it, IMHO.
Yes, the ride is boring for those of us who have seen it a million times. It should be updated on a regular basis with new movie themes but that might require extraordinary down time for the attraction.
I hope if they ever decide to remove the attraction, they at least leave the building.:wave: It is so cool.

It may well be air conditioned, but that cuts no ice with me. Flatten it and just look at how many merchandice stands and Dumbo clones (sadly lacking at MGM) you could fit in.
