Readers' Opinions
The great movie ride is fun but it takes forever to get on! First there's one room and then there's another. It doesn't end. They take 30 people a minute, I think. Well, on the bright side, It has air conditioning. - Katie G-Desjardins Our family enjoyed it. Does need a bit of tweeking, but don't get rid of it altogether! - Gil Long Not a bad ride, but I heard its in danger of being replaced - Dan Rosenberg A dark ride through some of Disney/MGM's greatest films, re-enacted with animatronics and narrated by a tour guide. The guide and other character actor can make or break the experience. This attraction receives a Fair review. The pre-show is entertaining, with classic movie trailers on a big screen. And many of the scenes are done very well, such as those featuring the Public Enemy, The Wizard of Oz, and Casablanca. But the success of the ride really depends on the enthusiasm and comic ability of your host and the other character guide. If they do a fantastic job, then the ride can be a highlight of your trip, and I'd consider it Commendable. Most of the guides do a pretty good job, and others are mediocre. Some of the scenes are rather hokey, like Alien and Tarzan, and seem to mosey along slowly. But it's definitely worth a visit. - Joshua Counsil I was just no that into it. - Ben James It's relaxing but they need to put some other ride in it's place! - Amanda W This ride is a complete waste. I LOVE movies and couldn't wait to go on the Great Movie Ride. The queue wasn't terribly long. However, the entire experience is dismal. Surely they could put something better in this space? - Mickey Fan The 'actors' do their best to make this ride interesting... but I found it really boring... - Stéphane Gamondes This is a great attraction, but the animatronics, music, etc. needs an upgrade and some more excitement. The vehicle audio rarely seems to work right. - Michael Newsom This is a staple of the "MGM Studios" and a mistake if they ever rid themselves of it. I would say it is very nice for the film history lesson, and the animatronics are better in some areas (the Public Enemy area) than others (Sigourney Weaver looks terrible). I would say it should change a couple of scenes such as the Indy room and Tarzan room and add a modern day classic. Everything else should remain changeless and the video montage at the end of the ride really hits pay-dirt. This is as good a ride as a movie theme park can give you without thrills. - Wilfredo Alvelo What do you meen get rid of it I love that ride. That would be a horrible mistake - Nate Dapper I'm glad we had a chance to do this ride before they get rid of it. I love the gangster scene, and that Clint Eastwood animatronic was one of the most realistic ever. - Sylvain Comeau It is very enjoyable although it is quite old. The best room is the alien room. - Sarah Larkin i really really love this ride. it is so long but never gets old. i especially love the part with the alien. anyways a really great intro to MGM basically what the parks all about. the lines usually short too. - roxy m |
