I would like a Star Wars section being added..
Change it to all Disney movies. First it's a lot easier to make animated characters look real. Second there's plenty of Disney classics (with classic songs) for some main scenes. Third, throw in some characters from lesser movies interacting with each other in between the main scenes. It'd be great each year I go to look for characters from the latest animated film or one long forgotten. Little changes make it more reridable. I know there are classic movie buffs who wouldn't like this but I think there are a lot more Disney film buffs.
While I agree with you, the problem is that if they made it "scarier" then you will have all the parents complain and push disney to remove the scene all together just like the did for "alien encounter"
Oh man was that an awesome ride/show. damn parents can't read signs anymore and made disney take it away for the stupid stich escape!
I am not saying make it scary or not to but they do have It's Tough to be a Bug at AK and some people complain about it but it's there.
But back to the subject at hand, which I may have posted before on this one, but they could probably change a few sections or just enhance some existing ones with newer technology to make it a little more "cool". I still enjoy it though as it is.
Sorry if it sounded like I was disagreeing with you. I'm all in favor of enhancing some areas and making things alittle scarier. I was just pointing out that if they did make it scarier parents will complain.
I think a lot of GMR is getting outdated. Not that the scenes are not worthy to feature, but they take up sooooo much space, you could really retool that area and get more in per sq/ft.
As others mentioned, new ride vehicles could help enhance the experience. Not sure if it is continuous smaller vehicles or something else, but something that forces you to focus in one direction opens up a lot of real estate to pack more in.
But on to the main focus of GMR overall. I think the film industry as a whole has transformed so much. And when you think of great films like Gone with the wind, alien and even the original Star Wars, they did much "magic" behind the camera to make the film epic. I would love to see a narrative of how MAKING the movie has changed and evolved over time.
For example, starting with a GwtW or Wizard of Oz and show the camera operator on the crane (sorry bit sure what it is called) as part of the overall scene. Showing the creation of it
Move to a Star Wars where model makers are setting up the Death Star model on a green screen and a side area where a screen shows the final shot.
Then we move toward more modern movies where we show animators creating some canned CGI or acting like an Andy Serkis type actor in motion capture suits.
Overall, you could put CM "actors" into each scene to keep the interactive feel of the ride as it is now. Maybe as a director in a classic movie scene, an actor against a green screen in a modern scene.
The ride vehicle could have AV technology in it that helps support the scene, either by showing a final clip o the movie, or illustrating some behind the scenes footage. As well as narrate the story from start to finish.
Just my $0.02.
Edit to say: any time I said gone with the wind, just change it in your mind to read "Casablanca". I always get the 2 confused.
I'd make it the focal point of the park. AKA move the F***ing hat.
I know it won't happen, but I'd love to see The Muppet Movie Ride Disney had in development before Henson died come to light, either as a replacement or in a new building by the 3-D movie. Hey, a guy can dream right?
Love Alien. Possibly the scariest movie ever. But it's old, tired and kids have zero connection to it. Change the entire section to Star Wars. Can't be that hard, you own the franchise now.
