Anything on Great Movie Ride?

[Hawk]

I have looked around on posts and have seen nothing on GMR. Does anybody have any information?

What kind of info are you looking for? It was open as of July 5th when I rode it.

Here is the GMR ride spiel from one of my guidebooks:

Hollywood's famed Mann's Chinese Theater sets the stage for a sedate ride through famous scenes from classic movies enacted by Audio-Animatronic characters. Some live-action excitement and two short films add a bit of Hollywood pizzazz. Long lines snake through a props and costumes exhibit. (Yes, those are "the" Ruby Slippers!). Following the pre-show film, the queue separates - each line gets a slightly different version of one live-action scene. Indoor queue with overflow queue outdoors. Effects many be too intense for small children. Must transfer from ECV to wheelchair. Wheelchair accessible.

I have always like the GMR and I am really looking forward to it during our next trip. I am a big movie buff so the whole idea really appeals to me.

I was just speaking to my sister tonight. She returned from WDW last night. I asked her about GMR and she said that to the best of her recollection it hadn't changed at all. I guess they just cleaned it and gave it some new paint.

We were there in June. I agree, there was'nt any huge changes, although I thought I spotted fresh paint here and there. It's still such a great ride. I never tire of it even though we've ridden it so many times.

It's a "great" movie ride experience, lasts about 20 minutes. From what I have heard, it has not changed. Just went through a little face lift.

They have a different script for the drivers and I LOVE it...a few trivia freaks and then some movie quotes from movies

and also like they redid all the stuff that gets used everyday(like the bank robbery and stuff like that)

I was hoping they would add some more to the montaeg b/c I really love it, but they didn't, which is no biggie

I love this ride...I can't get enough of it!

Thanks for the info. I was hoping for an update, but am happy that it is back in working order.
