I love that you don't do clickbait and make quality videos keep it up dude!
Thanks dude, appreciate that!
True so true
Yea!!!
Jankin Jack I agree
Ya keep it up
Ugh, I feel like I’m in the minority here. But I loved the old Hollywood Studios/MGM feel. The premise was great, “the Hollywood that always is, and never was”. I don’t like how this park will be driven just by 2 major IP lands. Would much rather have a plethora of different IP attractions in one land... not just based on one movie franchise
Actually, quite the opposite. You're in the majority. Now it's not even a 'studios' anymore. Calling it Hollywood Studios, no longer makes sense now that there is little to no elements of the studios aspect left. I miss the MGM Days.
I know how you feel about feeling part of the "minority." Don't let anyone treat you that way.
AMagicProduction I loved it too
I still have a habit of calling it MGM studios.
You're far from being the minority...I miss MGM too
I like some of the new stuff like Toy Story Mania but am pissed about losing the Osborn Lights at Christmas and Back Lot and Great Movie Ride and One Man's Dream....the parks in general are fading form Walt's ideas and becoming more like a regular boring business than a magical place...to put it simply they are relying on fads instead of special experiences to stay alive and when fads fade so too will tourism and interest
I remember one time, at disney world, my younger brother got a heat stroke. My grandma then took my brother on the great movie ride about a thousand times because it was air conditioned. By the end of the day my brother had memerized the part at the beining of the ride when they tell you not to put your hands out side of the vehical, but the spanish part. he still knows every word, IT'S REALLY WEIRD.
Clara Silver love your profile pic
My favorite: Please stand clear of the doors. Por favor mantangase alejados de las puertas.
@@trickytreyperfected1482 used to be my dad’s ringtone after we left, definitely my favorite Spanish sentence
This is an amazing story oh my gosh lol more people need to hear about this.
How do I feel? I want to cry. I know it needs a renovation to keep up with the times, but to me it feels like they're trying to erase their roots little by little. I didn't even know there was that much more about the backlot tour. I was too young when they shortened it.
cmm07r that's because iger is trying to erase as much of his predecessor as possible from the parks.
cmm07r I can live with the renovation, but why did they have to get rid of the back lot tour in the Great Movie Ride and catastrophe Canyon? I love those that made the park for me.
I loved watching the animators work, we saw them drawing what would become the Little Mermaid.
i agree
cmm07r I recently went to the Hollywood studios for the first time, and I liked it, but we finished the park way too quickly, there are very little things to do all day if you don't like rollercoasters or star wars, however, I did like star tours. The thing that made it all worth it for me was fantasmic, even though it was raining. My parents say it was horrible compared to what it used to be, and thats probably true, but overall I would recommend it if you have a park hopper ticket, annual pass, go later in the day, or plan to have a little break day.
same. I was only like 2
I have really high expectations for all these new things that are being build at Hollywood Studios but one thing I'm really going to miss is the Great Movie ride
I know, right!? That was my favorite ride ever! Everytime I went to Hollywood Studios, that was the ride I went on more than 10 times! It's really saddening that its closed now.
Lau :3 i know right i was so sad when i found out it would be closing every single time i go to Hollywood studios i will always remember all the fun times going on that ride i had so many memories there
It was the first attraction me and my family would hit. We couldn't do anything else till we rode the great movie ride (though that may have been more me and my parents appeasing me).
Seriously? They’re closing their main attraction?
I was at Hollywood studios the night it closed...the lines were so long they reached the front of the park. It was so hard to navigate through all the people
I think what they are adding to Hollywood Studios is great! But, I don't want them to take the "Hollywood" theme from the park. Disney needs to make more "Hollywood" themed attractions and areas.
They are getting ready to change the name. So they may be taking "Hollywood" out of it, but I'm hoping they are just getting rid of "Studios" since it is not a working studio anymore. I still call it MGM though.
DisneyMC.IO IKR
true so true
By Hollywood they mean just based on movies or TV series
So true, the OG MGM had such a great feel.
I remember riding Tower of Terror 11 times in a row with my aunt while the rest of my family was waiting to ride Rock ‘n’ Rollercoaster. There was no line, so we jumped the fences and got right in.
When I was little, I first saw tower and tried to run because it looked so intimidating. Then I rode 7 times after my first time.
I would love to see a 10 facts about the haunted mansion.
Madilyn Taylor YESS!!!
Yup!
If they ever build another hotel or even restaurant based on the haunted mansion it would be awesome!!!!
I love haunted mansion!
June Turpin there a rumor going around that they are building a haunted mansion restaurant to go along with the gift shop. I think it’s going to be like cosmic rays and the tiki room where they have a show as you eat.
Hollywood Studios used to be my favorite park. I just adored having the opportunity to see real movie props and being part of the processes of movie magic. All the work that went into the making of a movie absolutely fascinated me as a kid, and still does to be fair ! I loved learning about special effects techniques, real behind the scenes stories, iconic film history, and everything that this park used to be about.
Now it's just... Star Wars, Toy Story, and Frozen. It doesn't feel like it's about movies anymore, it's just about pushing a franchise up to its maximum profit making capacity. I'm not saying I'm not somewhat excited to discover these new lands, but I don't know, it's not what Hollywood Studios was for me. Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised, and still keep amazing memories of what it used to be.
I don't really like the change they're making. Disney is erasing so much history! Sure there's room for change, but I wouldn't eliminate so much!
What they are eliminating is being removed because of a lack of popularity. WDW has plenty of space that they can just build out into without removing anything else. So the choice to remove these things really have nothing to do with the expansions, because there could have easily been both if Disney wanted too. I think they see a desperate need to completely rebrand what had become known as a tired, half day park. While it's sad to see classics go, you also can't expect Disney to hold onto stuff that wasn't popular with the crowds, even if there's a small group that love it.
whossoul
I know your right, but they mean so much to me! I can't seem to grab hold of the fact.
I miss the back lot tour
Even down here in California I'm getting sad seeing everything at Disneyland go
Totally agree. The Great Movie Ride, for example, was a beautifully fitting and educational tribute to the history of the movies. The identity of the park included many movie franchises, which are slowly being swapped out for purely 'Disney' references. Indiana Jones will be the next to go, I bet (although I really hope not). I know it's a Disney Park, but it's previous referencing of other non-Disney movies is what made the park so different from the other WDW parks.
I’ll always miss The Great Movie Ride!! I loved the alien scene when I was little, when I finally got over my fear and looked at the Alien right at his face as he came down from the ceiling!! And the rest of the ride I of course loved! I will forever miss that ride!
I'm going to miss the great movie ride in Hollywood studios
I feel so so sad that all the history is leaving the park my family have loved it there and never want it to change!! Tower of terror and the great movie ride should stay FOREVER
When I first went to MGM studios, it was amazing how it gave you a slice of the experience at Hollywood. I don’t mind Galaxy’s Edge or Toy Story Land, but I wish that they kept some of the iconic sights and rides like the Backlot Tour, the mouse water tower, and especially the Great Movie Ride. I also with they kept the iconic feel of the the OG MGM.
I loved this video. Extremely informative. My family and I recently went to WDW and spent our last day at Hollywood Studios. I was sad that a lot of the hidden things that I had seen on an Adam the Woo video were gone. My son looked forward to hanging off the Singin' In the Rain umbrella. Alas, not a lot of history is still there with the renovations.
I hope they keep the name the same since the new additions are Hollywood blockbusters and hold on the history that they still have. We loved seeing the brass lines for the old parade in the sidewalk!
I think they shouldnt have taken down the Backlot Tour ride, its a classic in my opinion and that was one of my favorite rides (until now) i also wish that they never took down the mickey mouse wizard hat. The new star wars land is a good and bad idea. Yes it will be profit and fun for people, but its taking away so much of MGM that its basically its own park. I wish we still had the old MGM and i wouldn't mind having a star wars park, but i hate that its taking away the classics and the great things of MGM.
Literally what I wish I could articulate but can't because... ya know... emotions.
Baby Laney i agree i dont mind all the changes they are making but they had to tale down so much other stuff with it
the mickey mouse wizard hat was very beautiful. I really liked it when it was there and how amazing it looked at night and to be able to walk under it.
Allayney is
I loved the Sorcerers Hat. All of the parks have a symbol that really add to the theme of that park. The *Magic* Kingdom has a castle, Epcot has the giant ball, which was from Disney's original plans for his Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, from which Epcot gets its name, and the Animal Kingdom has the Tree of Life. The Sorcerer's hat made a much better icon than the tower of terror does now. And there was a really great pin shop under the hat. The unfortunate thing is that it was only intended to be a temporary piece.
I'm good with everything except replacing the great movie ride... I loved that ride
Scott Robinson same ive been on it eo many times that whenever i see the chinese theatre i will remember the whole in my heart that formed the day it shut down
Scott Robinson yeah like why not refurbrish it but everytime in life its time for a change
Scott Robinson There could be a ride similar to it but as a high-speed dark thrill ride themed to Disney’s greatest villains called “Disney’s Great Movie Villain Ride”!
Great video! My 1st visit to MGM was Aug 1993. It was so much different then. I'm going to miss the GMR, but what I miss the most is the Original, 2-3 hour backlot tour, which was true edutainment!!! I also miss New York Street - that entire backlot steet area was originally themed to New York City. As late as Aug 2015, I would stay at The Studios for Extra-Magic Hours after my family went left. I would go back to NY Street during the last hour and be able to hear the background city noise sounds and for the most part there were very few, if not any other people back there!! I photographed and just walked around and enjoyed the ambiance of the area!! It was great to have a nice chunk of a theme park almost all to myself!!!
It’s sad to see so much history go away. It shouldn’t be like that... The imagineers are doing their job and I’ll give them credit for that but they never think “What would Walt want?” Like come on people!!
But it’s not what Walt wants anymore. It’s not his park anymore. It’s what the CEOs want.
This
I rode Great Movie Ride for the last time over the summer and it's really bumming me out that they got rid of it. It could have been even better if they worked around things breaking down and leaving them broken. It feels like now it's only worth going to the park for only a couple hours. My family likes ToT, Muppet Vision, and Star Tours and that's about it. My brother and I are the only ones who enjoy Rock n Roller Coaster. Who knows how long it'll be until they tear out Muppet Vision, too. My parents are older and really have no interest in the Star Wars stuff or the Guardians of the Galaxy stuff in EPCOT, or the Pandora stuff in Animal Kingdom. And it seems like a lot of people aren't happy with tearing down the iconic rides, too.
ssshikari23 agreed. I understand maybe the family takes everyone to Disney and the younger boys aren't too happy about seeing Cinderella's castle sometimes and Hollywood Studios is a good park for them. However, it seems that Hollywood Studios lost what it was made for and kind of revolves around the idea of Star Wars and Indiana Jones and things like that now. I don't find those things interesting, but I'm not the only one visiting the park. However, me and my sister only liked maybe 3 rides from that park and went on them (no exaggeration) 10 times in a row. I'm looking forward to the toy story thing, and I'm not EXTREMELY mad about them taking out the great movie ride (still wanna cry though) because it's not being replaced w some guardians of the galaxy bs. I have high hopes and wish Disney realizes the changes they're making aren't working well with a lot of people
Agreed. I'm sad to see it go, the mickey ride should have been in Magic Kingdom instead!
Me too. So sad to see the Great Movie Ride go. We were suppose to go on a Disney trip for the first time in 8 years this last May, but had to postpone to Sept. I just cried when they made the announcement this summer that is was going to be closed before we got there. I sat my kids down and we watched it in the living room, so they got to see it but of course it is not the same.
Do we know if they are putting anything in the place of the great movie ride? Or is there hope they are just going to change it a bit change the name and reopen?
Molly Charland they're putting in a cartoon Mickey and Minnie ride. Not sure about the details, I haven't read into it but the info is out there
Never ever EVER stop makeing videos we love you keep up the great work have a Disney day
Edit: or a magical day
Anime Vale *making. hmf
Thanks for always making my shitty Sunday a little better TPMVIDS
pegy hill mine too
Don't say bad words you know that kids are watching this
pd5716 it's the internet dude..
I I I don't have a a Sunday
James Russell me 2 and my day is crappy
For some reason i always loved the outdatedness of Hollywood studios. It made it different from all the other parks and as much as I love Star wars and Toy story i am going to mis the way it was. When my family goes to disney, usually all of us go (so about 10-14 of us). Well one year my cousin from Ireland went with us and he had never been to disney or on a roller coaster before hand. So naturally we took him to the rockin roller coaster but claimed it was an easy ride that was just a tour of rock'n'roll. He believed us until we got to the area we they load everyone into the ride. Thankfully my two uncles were behind him and my dad and older cousin were in front of him to prevent him escaping. We forced him onto the ride and he was panicking especially when he saw the car before us get shot at 60 miles per hour. However by the time it ended he loved thrill rides and couldn't get enough.
8:23 I SAW IT!!
9:36 ANOTHER MICKY AT ROCK N ROLLER COASTER!
They should've just let the theme of Epcot and the Studios the same as it was before with some re-imagining to keep it current but they should've just made another park like DCA (With a different name of course) to put all their themed lands in like Avatar, Toy Story & Star Wars. Its just a shame I cant go on a backlot tour and experience the movies or feel what Epcot was meant to be.
Sure IPs representing a country is fine, but a rollercoaster in one of the Epcot pavilion with no Epcot like theme? At least Test track is still somewhat of a 'World of motion'.
I once heard someone say Michael Eisner loved the parks and knew what was good for them while Bob Iger doesn't seem to understand how to make the most out of the parks beside that people love quality IP rides, themed lands and transportation methods. But fitting them together the right way?
Amen! They have the room, and Disney prints money, so no excuse!
Funny u mention mickeys ear as a lightning rod at the crossroads. As I child my family and I took shelter from a sudden rain storm in a building just to the left of the crossroads and during the storm lightning struck Mickey. It was quite a feeling with the bang of the thunder and you could feel the static in the air. Mickey was still shaking 4 hrs later lol. Will always remember that.
Did everybody around the area scream?
TPMvids, you are one of a kind, all of your vids are amazing and I always learn something new, Keep it up my dude!
I literally can (do) sit here for hours on end and just watch your videos! They are AMAZING!
R.I.P Great movie ride.
can you please heart this comment TPM? ;)
RIP.....but Mickey and Minnie’s looks absolutely awesome
Begger
What makes me feel old is the icon was the sorcerer mickys hat and it was in the park as a hat shop, but they took it off,
Tory and Chris TV I remember shopping there back in 2004. NOSTALIGIA!!!
It was never supposed to be a permanent fixture or icon. The hat was installed to celebrate Walt's 100th birthday, but ended up being more cost effective to leave up until the need for a major overhaul. When that time came, down went the hat as originally planned. Also, I may be in the minority here, but I hated that hat blocking the view of the Chinese Theater
it wasnt a hat shop it was a pin shop
memethyst oh, thanks for telling me
Tory and Chris TV the original icon was the water tower.
Excellent video again! Very original and detailed. Love your voice, keep up the great vids!😁
Thanks for these secrets +TPMvids! I remember going to both Disney MGM Studios and Disney's Hollywood Studios back when I was 7-9 years old!
Nice vid. Love your Disney content!!!!!!
I remember when I was 8 on my birthday in Disney I was afraid of the storm troopers and would avoid them 😂
I love your videos SO MUCH you made my experience in Disney was very different and wayyy more fun now that I know about the stuff you do!
MGM Studios has always been my favorite park after the Magic Kingdom! I'm excited for it's future, but will always fondly remember the backlot tour and the Great Movie Ride! They better not touch Tower of Terror tho! That and Haunted Mansion are my all-time favorites!
I might be alone here, but what I miss the most from Hollywood Studios is the Sorcerer's Hat. With Fantasmic! as the nightly show, the Hat had that magical quality that the Castle lends to MK.
DisneyGator fantasmic is still open and well!! I thought it closed too for some reason, must have been a rumor or something that got out of hand
Still open! Saw it in November
i love the history of disney so dude keep it up
Another great video keep up the good work
This was a genuinely great video
I'm fine with the changes, However I will miss great movie ride. I will always treasure riding on it on it's final day of operation. The park will always be MGM to me, no matter what name they slap on it :) ...On a side note: they better not touch my tower.
RorySeizeTheDay They won’t they only did it to Disneyland is getting marvel land like Hollywood studios is getting star wars land
I know...I just don't want anyone out there in imagineering getting stupid ideas... haha
Or Aerosmith
It will go eventually due to licensing.. Monsters University Courtyard anyone?
I hate when Disneyland natives say that they hope that Florida’s ToT gets replaced, Hollywood Studio’s Tower is WAY better than California Adventure’s was, and I just wish that they could see that.🙄
I miss Captian EO!!😭❤
I am a huge Disney fan and I love your videos! I watch a lot of "Disney secrets" videos and you always have new ones! Seriously, almost every video I watch has the (not so secret) "secret tunnels" in them. You give some really quality facts! ☺️☺️
TPM vids, u r one amazing video away from become number 1 on my list of favourite UA-camrs - keep it up, I love the channel and I love Disney, so keep going!
Loved the video.
By the way, I believe the largest hidden Mickey at WDW is the solar farm in front and to the west of EPCOT.
Disney's Hollywood Studios is my favorite park at Walt Disney World (even in its current state of construction). I will forever miss the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids Movie Set Adventure. I'm hoping to see pieces of it again once Toy Story Land is complete.
Keep up the AWSOME work dude!!!
i love these videos!!
I didn’t know these secrets! Thanks!
Anytime! :)
TPMvids hi
finally another video!
Videos come at ya every week! :P
Love your videos!!!!😄 I subscribed and I'm part of the notification squad!!!!
Watching all the Walt Disney World videos you have as I'm planning a surprise trip there for my wife in about a year or so! Very well done!
We had lots of great Disney Cinematic history at Disney-MGM Studios...
Then Disney said "screw it let's make it a theme park"
Tpmvids is lit
I love what you do!
My wife and I went their for part of our honeymoon earlier this year. We were happy we were able to ride the Great Movie Ride before it closed. We were never able to see the older attractions, like the backlot tour, but we realize things change and hopefully the new stuff will be great. We can't wait for the star wars area.
It's been altogether devastating to see a lot of my favorite things from MGM Studios going the way of the dodo... The Great Movie Ride is probably the biggest one.
The air conditioning was a life-saver!
A name change for the third time! I’m not a fan of that. I still say MGM Studios. One of my favorite items on the backlot tour was the ship from Flight of the Navigator. It’s still a great movie to this day and I liked remembering it when I saw the ship.
The biggest loss for me was the backlot tour! The park currently only has 3 rides which when you look at it is CRAZY! Looking forward to returning in a couple of years to see the expansion and fingers crossed it breaths new life into a massively failing park!
Great video guys! Keep up the good work
I love these videos. I enjoyed Hollywood studios as a teenager. The backlot studio tours was my favorite. My favorite part was the Golden Girls House though we know it was not truly recorded there.
These bring back so many wonderful memories of growing up.
Thank You 🐱
I use to work at Hollywood studios. Very close to my heart! But it needs an update so I’m excited!
When they said “Florida weather” I related to fast 😂
Love your vids
Well done I love your videos
I miss the GMR
Does anyone else remember the art of Disney animation with mushu? It was honestly my favorite attraction because of not only watching my favorite sidekick but getting to watch artists at work, and getting to create. I love Star Wars, my family is obsessed, but I feel like the whole theme-ing that they have there now, the history, isn't as great as what they had with Mushu. RIP Art of Disney Animation. :(
AbbieChrissie Great memories with that attraction, I totally agree with you.
To be fair it's probably cause they don't do much animation anymore so didn't need all those employees, since everything they doing is remakes into live action movies.
i’ve had so many memories since i was a child. i love disney so much. been going since i was in my mamas belly. my dream job is to work there. im going to try and reach that goal. 💞
Went there yesterday! nice vid :3
Oh I'm just an hour late yey
Better late than never!
Remember when I went to Hollywood Studios I went on The Great Movie Ride it was really fun and when I heard they were taking it down I was really sad about it and I think that's one of the things I'm just not really happy about that they took away and also when I heard it was the last attraction to stay there since when they first open I was like why would you do that it has a lot of history behind it and I was just really upset about that but that was my thoughts of them how I feel about the changes for that and that's kind of all I have I'm really excited for the Star Wars the land and the Toy Story Land 2 come out
Dasher 101 my mom told me that they HAVE to eventually take down rides cuz they just can't keep fixing 'em over and over. I'm sorry ur upset about this change, tho💕
Dasher 101 I’m one of those people that is upset that certain rides are taken down but don’t mind their replacements. My mom calls me an “old soul.” Because I enjoy old things. I love everything in Disney at the moment and I always enjoy it.
This was uploaded on my birthday as I was in Magic Kingdom!
This channel is the only one I have the bell on for.
It sucks all these changes because kids in the future won't be able to see this history
Michael "borrowed" the Idea from Universal Studios,
...right
One thing I loved about the studios was both the studio tour and Great Movie ride. I loved being able to see the houses from some of my favorite Disney shows on the tour, and those scenes from the movies were just awesome!
Actually the biggest hidden Mickey is made out of trees and is double the size as that one!
yes that one is called mickey forest.
theres also one made out of solar panels that is pretty big as well.
1:07 what song is that?
He uses it in every single video at the intro when he explains at the intro?
Azriel animations daurde sandstorm
The Colin Show ha ha...
Darude sandstorm
The Colin Show lol
The Colin Show its not that
just subed! going to Disney this Saturday and found theses fun videos in my research! keep up the good work!
Your videos are always interesting
I love his voice !😊 like if you agree!
I miss the way it used to be. Some changes have been cool, and I won't lie I'm really looking forward to Star Wars Land, but the theming and feel of Old Hollywood, the magic and grandeur of the Hollywood fantasy, I miss it. The Backlot Tour, Great Movie Ride, even some of the parades.
Nothing encapsulates more how much the park has lost that in favor of more IPs and such than the closure of The Great Movie Ride. IT WAS PERFECT FOR THE PARK! Taking it away is like demolishing Pirates of the Caribbean. They could have updated and renovated it...but NOOOOO. Instead they want to give us this underwhelming looking Mickey Mouse ride. A Mickey ride, I'm cool with that. At the expense of The Great Movie Ride? HELL NO!
The MGM Studios I remember is what I wanted to share with my wife and kids. What's there now is still good (so far) but NOTHING like the magic it once was.
I totally agree! They make enough money that the royalties they pay for The Great Movie Ride shouldn't have been as big of a concern as closing down the most iconic ride in DHS. And I love Mickey, but they are doing the ride that new style crappy drawing anyway. Even my kids hate the way they are drawing Mickey now. It is like the animators lost their talent! That ride would be better in MK anyway.
I agree a Mickey ride should go in Disneyland/Magic Kingdom. Duh.
I also REALLY hate that new style. It's like the animators are letting their 3-year old kids do the drawing instead. Besides, a true Mickey ride ought to showcase all the looks, designs, and styles of Mickey Mouse and cast as they evolved through the years.
Yes! That is exactly what we, as a family, said!
My all time fav. ride of WDW is Tower of Terror. I have so many wonderful memories with my family on that ride. We all love to go on it just to hear grandma scream! Every time is like her very first experience. It is the best! Please, please, please, never change this ride.
When I was a kid, MGM was my FAVORITE park. I loved the Great Movie Ride and was so upset when it closed.
Since you love Disney why don’t you do a face reveal at Disney World/Land
will dvsds because they like their privacy, they'll do it when they're ready
I understand you've got to upgrade the park and all because you can't have the same thing all the time, but please. PLEASE DISNEY! Stop taking out complete classics and replacing them with horrible rides. They took out the tower of terror from Disney Land for GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY (why. NO). No more great movie ride for some Mickey and Minnie thing. I'm very upset that the great movie ride is being completely replaced because that ride is one of the most memorable experiences from when I was like 7, but I'm not completely mad since it wasn't replaced with some overrated movie like guardians of the galaxy or another Star Wars attraction. Also, I love Hollywood studios during my last visit because of tower of terror and rockin roller coaster, but I'm a "classic" Disney lover and don't find Star Wars and Indiana jones very interesting. I'm not saying make Disney World revolve around what I enjoy and I'm glad that Disney is adding in attractions for those who do enjoy the other things, but my god Disney I'm gonna miss the great movie ride and I'm scared the tower of terrors gonna go missing.
xctf - Kelsey Indiana Jones is a classic though, even if its not interesting to you (which I can relate with the whole Star Wars thing) you gotta admit that its an awesome show
My biggest fear is that the tower of terrors in Orlando and Paris will get replaced 😢😢😢😭😭
I'm sad that for opening the Star Wars thingy at Hollywood Studios, they got rid of being able to take pictures with a stationary Lightning McQueen and Mater, and the Meet-and-Greet with Mike and Sulley, and also changing Pizza Planet to PizzaRizzo because of Toy Story Land. The first movie I ever saw in theaters was Cars, and it remains one of my favorite movies to this day, so it was really cool to be able to take a picture with Lightning and Mater, and very sad to not be able to this year. I also really love Monsters Inc. and Monsters University (but Inc. more) and I remember going to take a picture with Mike and Sulley in 2014 and hugging Sulley and being covered with blue and purple fur for the rest of the day, so I was sad when I returned this year and that was gone, after also having bought Mike's MU hat, and getting my name embroidered on the back. And while I do love the new Toy Story Land, it has one quick service restaurant that's outside, unshaded, and always very crowded, and I wish they could have brought Pizza Planet over from its former home by Muppet Vision.
That moment when you realize you have been here since the beginning of the channel. Been here since the first video and around I think 1,000 subs. Great work dude and keep it up!

You're the best!
TPMvids You’re awesome!
I’m going to throw some shade.... no one loved the great movie ride! Before people knew it was leaving for good, the wait time was always 15 minutes or less! As soon as they announced that they were killing it the wait time jumped up to 1 hour. 🤷🏼♂️
The short wait time was due to it being one the higher capacity rides at the park. Hollywood studios is what is considered a half day park because at its former/current state there isnt much to do so their daily vistors is lower than other parks. Now most people will flock toward the long wait thrill rides first before moving onto the higher capacity slow moving ride.
False. It's my second favorite ride behind Spaceship Earth...
Love the videos. MGM has always been my favorite. I miss the backlot tour. It doesn’t feel the same.
Love these videos can’t get enough! Hey I was wonder what happened to the old mickeys sorcerers hat at MGM or Disney’s Hollywood Studios?
Cool video!😎
I didn't know these secrets
Thank you so much!!
Actual facts you just earned a like
To be honest, I was there from the beginning and I wast a participant at Theater of the Stars, played Curley and enjoyed the sound show. I wish they had kept sections of the park that caught the spirit of being backstage on a real production. It seems to me they could have had a section like they are going to have for Star Wars. Believe it or not Universal had it too but that went away as well.
Thanks for the video! So much of the park’s original purpose and glory have been totally lost. The closing of The Great Movie Ride really hit me hard. I think it definitely could have been updated but not destroyed completely.
It held so much of the park’s magic. I think part of updating a park is knowing what is worth keeping and what is now irrelevant. But I can understand that those decisions are difficult.
Good I like the changes
I love MGM! Rock an Roller coaster is the best!!!!!!
I love Disney and your channel
Quality!👍🏻
