Make the whole thing an Alien dark ride.
According to a report from today it sounds like Disney is replacing Stitch with a Wreck it Ralph ride. I still think Alien could replace Buzz and Monsters inc.I find this idea fascinating. Not so much to replace GMR, but as Buzz said, for Tomorrowland! Stitch's Great Escape remains empty if I'm not mistaken. (Been a while since I've been there) How about a good IP tie-in for a change, and turn Stitch back into Alien Encounter again, but make it Alien with Sigourney Weaver. I miss the old Alien Encounter, but an Alien IP tie-in would be an excellent use of that building.
I agree. They should have kept some scenes but swapped out others especially since the MGM and Disney deal fell apart.Off the top of my head I don't know how they would accomplish it, but I would have liked to seen something where the movies on display were frequently changing, or maybe there is a roster of 30 to 40 classics that you see 5 or 6 of at random. More backstory on the movies and the actors and no need for the 'story' - I always found the delivery by the CMs to be forced.
Everybody has favorite classics (well maybe not everybody, but lots of people) that they would like to see, that maybe not too many others would want to see. I personally would have loved to see the opening from "Once Upon a Time in the West" and the "This man is new to me. O haven't beaten him before" scent from "Trinity is my Name" but I doubt many others would. That is why having a rotation of a bunch of scenes would allow for the lesser known movies to be included.
That sounds amazing!
The sad thing is with a name like "Great Movie Ride", it should have had a few scenes swapped in and out.
Charlie Chaplin got a shout out in the closing montage (and a brief clip in Horizons, by the way with their "vision of the future" montage), but how great would it have been to see 'Modern Times' with an animatronic Chaplin riding a giant cog?
Speaking of Horizons....another movie clip featured in Horizons was Fritz Lang's 'Metropolis', a movie so influential that the cyborg Maria was used as inspiration for a certain fussy golden 'droid in a galaxy far far away.

Metropolis should have been included. I would have put it in place of the Casablanca scene.
I know it would have been so amazing. I really miss The Great Movie Ride. Disney had such potential to fix it up. At least Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway is a fantastic ride and a very worthy successor.If they had put an avengers and Star Wars scene into the existing ride that would have been the most popular ride at Disney. That would have been a great idea!
I agree. I still think Disney should not have replaced Great Movie Ride. We cant fix what happened but we can think about what could've been.It sounds like a good ride but could have been as well as rather than instead of GMR. I just loved chilling on that.
Holy cow that sounds amazing! I agree Mary Poppins, Alien, Indiana Jones, and Fantasia should have absolutely stayed and expanded. I would've ended the ride replacing Wizard of oz with Fantasia. Your idea sounds incredible. It would have been amazing to see Star Wars in this ride. I also would have an Avengers seen. It would be when they assemble in the first movie surrounded by the Chitauri.Any kind of realistic re-do would've been substantial as I highly doubt there would've been executive support to re-up any of the licensing deals or to sign any new licensing deals. That said, the following film references would've probably needed replaced with a Disney/Pixar/Lucasfilms/Marvel/Fox property:
The only things that would've survived were Mary Poppins, Alien, Indiana Jones, and Fantasia with latter two being totally re-worked, expanded, or moved to broaden and improve their presence. The generic mummy tomb would've probably also been a good candidate for a re-do. Any kind of Marvel addition would obviously be significantly limited by the agreement with Universal Studios. Assuming 8 total films need replaced, here is a list of what I think would've been good candidates (in no particular order):
- Footlight Parade (Warner Bros.) - Pre-Code Musical
- Singin' in the Rain (MGM) - Post-Code Musical
- The Public Enemy (Warner Bros.) - Gangster
- A Fistful of Dollars (United Artists) - Western
- The Searchers (Warner Bros.) - Western
- Tarzan Man of the Apes (MGM) - Adventure
- Casablanca (Warner Bros.) -Romance Drama
- Wizard of Oz (MGM) - Musical Fantasy
- Both the pre and post shows (various studios)
- The Sound of Music
- Star Wars (original trilogy)
- 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
- Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier
- Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
- Planet of the Apes (original version)
- Titanic
- Nightmare Before Christmas

I always remember there being a huge line for great movie ride. The biggest mistake was taking away that ride. Im fine with Runaway Railway, looks fun! But honestly, it would've been great if that was placed elsewhere. The Great Movie Ride literally defines what Hollywood Studios is, and it sucks that they took away a such a huge staple of the park. It was its centerpiece.
That would've been amazing. It would have been so cool to see them pull it off with AA's.Turn Alien into Aliens and host an animatronic Power Loader fight!
