The Great Movie Ride is Returning! Sort of…
MickeyBlog has recently learned that hundreds of former Great Movie Ride cast members have virtually recreated The Great Movie Ride. And we have the teaser video for you!
As we’ve share with you on MickeyBlog previously, “Until August 13, 2017, the only remaining original attraction at Hollywood Studios was The Great Movie Ride, the first and initially the only ride at the park. It survived almost 30 years.”
On August 13, 2020, three years to the date of it its closure, the fully recreated “ride” will be released via YouTube. All of our favorite movie moments will come to life once again!
Incredibly, every aspect of this recreation was done virtually over the last several months during quarantine. This includes the preshow, the ride, and the finale. In fact, we’ve learned that the finale is an exact replica of the original we all love and remember!
Places Everyone. This is a Take. Quiet on the Set.
We were able to get our hands on the official press release. It reads in part, “On the third anniversary of its closure,“The Great Movie Ride” will make a magical return, this time with a virtual version of the beloved attraction. Hundreds of former “Movie Ride” cast members have virtually re-created the ride in its entirety and will premiere: “The Great Movie Ride: Quarantine Edition” on Thursday, August 13th.”
It continues, “This virtual attraction will send guests on a journey that begins just outside the doors of the Chinese Theatre at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and ends with an exact reenactment of the finale montage. For a fun twist, this digital version of the attraction will allow viewers to choose whether to be kidnapped by a gangster or ride off into the sunset with a bandit.”
The Great Movie Ride was ultimately replaced in Hollywood Studios with Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway which debuted this past March. Reviews of the new attraction have been positive. That being said, there are many fans who would love for The Great Movie Ride to return one day.
It’s Show Time. Ready When You Are, C.B.
