About
Out of all of the attractions at Disney's Hollywood Studios, The Great Movie Ride most lives up to its theme park's name. Guests board vehicles which travel through famous movie scenes, from the Yellow Brick Road from The Wizard of Oz to the spaceship from Alien to Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca. A live tour guide hosts the ride, which is mainly comprised of animatronics. The ride concludes with a video montage of some more great moments in movies.
Note: this attraction features a violent live-action sequence. By all accounts, this is mild, but it does feature gunshots and can possibly scare small children.
