I will never forget the feeling of surprise the first time my boat stopped and was ‘hijacked’! (I was in the Western portion at the time; it wasn’t until a few years later I realized it also happens in the mob portion!) After that, I LOVED sharing the ride with first timers to watch their reactions!
I am SO sad about these attractions closing but I’m loving the shirt and the giveaway!
The thing I will miss most about The Great Movie Ride is the homage it pays to old Hollywood classics like Casablanca and Singin’ in the Rain
those movies are so underappreciated in these days of CGI action movies What I’ll miss most about Universe of Energy
is the scene with the dinosaurs. When I think back to my first trip as a 6-year-old boy, that is one thing that is fixed vividly in my memory. I remember being amazed at how real they looked and also scared that the Stegosaurus was going to fall off that cliff right onto us! I never cheered so much against T-Rex in my life! Of these two, I’ll miss the Great Movie ride even more! It was borderline heartbreaking to find out it was closing with such short notice :'( Growing up I gained a great appreciation for films and film history and I thought the Great Movie ride paid homage to both quite well. “Singing in the Rain” and “Casablanca” had to be my favorites. I was so stunned when the gangster took over our ride vehicle the first time I got on the ride
I wondered for a bit, “Is this supposed to happen?” Also on that ride was my then 3-year-old cousin and it was memorable with her when we went through the Alien scene. She was so scared I thought her head was going to explode! Then I remembered head explosions are more appropriate for the Raiders of the Lost Ark scene, so that quelled my fear temporarily I feel like I should disqualify myself from the giveaway as a mod.
But anyway, here goes with what I will miss the most.
The Great Movie Ride: pretty close to everything. The ride is iconic and represented everything that the old “MGM Studios” was about in my opinion. Specifically I think I’ll miss the start, when you slowly pull away and go under the marquee, just like you are on the red carpet at some great show. I will also miss the montage at the end so much. I just can’t stop smiling when I see all those put together, and I smiled all through it when watching it Saturday with you on the ride. It makes me want to watch all of them!
Universe of Energy: the break! Seriously, that is a huge plus to have that kind of break in the parks. I will miss Stupid Judy also! I was just telling my wife the other day that they should have Bill Nye, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Ellen do a Jeopardy special with all winnings going to charity. That would be so much fun to see! It also represented so much of what Future World was intended to be in my opinion. Learning while being entertained, “edutainment” I believe I’ve seen it referenced on here.I will miss the Great Movie Ride immensely. I actually really liked being in the movie theater queue watching the trailers for Mary Poppins and Raiders of the Lost Ark, and then walking into the loading zone area. I think my favorite segment of the attraction was the Wizard of Oz set. It was so well done…even down to the creepy munchkins peering out of the upstairs windows in Munchkinland.
