It is an atrocity that The Great Movie Ride was destroyed. You have some really good ideas here.
Agreed. It's insane. 😊
I would KILL for The Great Muppet Movie Ride. I've been saying for years that Disney should move Star Tours to Galaxy's Edge (or just trash it, the OG is at Disneyland anyways) and use that space plus the restaurant next to Star Tours for an expanded Muppets area, finally completing the original idea Jim Henson had in mind back in the 90s. Build the Swedish Chef restaurant, build the restaurant with the rats bringing food to your table (or combine those ideas into one chaotic restaurant), and build The Great Muppet Movie Ride! The Muppets are still popular with people and they're iconic, pretty much everyone knows who Kermit is thanks to memes. Plus, to be honest, it doesn't matter what the IP of an attraction is, if it's a great attraction people will ride it.
You're exactly right I've always thought it was weird that part of Star wars is a totally different Park now
I agree with that even though Galaxy's Edge is based on the Sequel Trilogy while Star Tours has some influence from the original trilogy. Also if you have the rat restaurant or the other one based on the Swedish Chef or just one that is a mix of both ideas then there would be no need for PizzaRizzo anymore gut it and bring back Pizza Planet (My Version would be a mini Club Sega arcade with a Pizza restaurant based on Pizza Planet from Toy Story).
Star tours doesn’t belong in galaxy’s edge
@@forceghostyoda5730 yes I know that two as Galaxy's Edge is based on the Sequel Trilogy while Star Tours is based on different parts of the Star Wars series.
@@nicksokolowski7709 finally, someone understands why star tours doesn’t belong in galaxy’s edge
Honey wake up, another BANGER from attraction ideas just dropped
Hitchcock's The Birds would fit so perfectly with a hundred animatronic birds.
Agreed but all I can think of when I read this was "Revenge of the Tiki Room"
They should honestly still think about making The Muppet Movie Ride, it would honestly be so fun to see and be an overall great attraction!
I think that would be cool if they made it where something wacky happens in all the scenes. If they can make a parody of the movies, the ride would be really unique
agreed
Well, for one thing, it would probably just be a bunch of screens playing movie clips instead of real sets and animatronics.
For my Disney College Program in 2008 I was beyond lucky to be placed in attractions, specifically the Great Movie Ride. Was some of the most fun times of my life and I am still very sour towards them for gutting it to put in Runaway Railway. The original version may have ran it course, more so the licensing ran out and the cost to renew was not worth it in their eyes, they easily could have renovated it. Disney has a massive catalog of classic movies that they own, as well as the catalogs from studios they purchased along the way. You are going to tell me that they couldn't string together a new set of classics to build life sized sets, putting people in the movies that the more recent generations grew up with?? The New Great Movie Ride was a low hanging fruit for imagineering and could have been something epic. Once again imagineering is off the mark.
The licensing for the original GMR had no expiration date. However, the final montage did become outdated and eventually, a weird promo for lousy Disney movies (Armageddon in the same reel as Star Wars? Really?)
I’d prefer a Great Movie Ride that takes guests on a time-travel adventure through the history of cinema into the past, present, and future of cinema! The journey would start in the past, then head into the present, and finally right into the future!
MICKEY SHOULD HAVE SHOWED US THE HISTORY OF DISNEY FILMS!
Start with Snow White! And we go inside her world.
And each room is a different movie to represent a decade of Disney!
Then at the end it would a screen so it can always update to the latest film!
It would have fit the movie theme of the park and have Mickey as your guide!
Why not just make a live action remake of a ride
yep
The Universal GMR could definitely work and you could have an announcer/Host like in the OG GMR dressed like Doc Brown as he takes you in a DeLorean through Universal Studio’s past films and retired attractions. Include a scene from each of the classic rides like Kongfrontation, JAWS, and have the opening of the ride be the original BTTF Ride simulation.
That’s honestly a great idea!
Honestly, this is a great hypothetical, thinking about what 12 movies you would pick to encapsulate the history of cinema is incredibly difficult but fun to think about.
I am really loving the idea of a Universal Great Movie Ride and I think they are more likely to do it than Disney. Love this idea and it is a great way to get some extinct attractions in the park again. Do it like an indoor backlot tour and even incorporate live actors like the original MGM Studios ride.
Personally if we want a post-2010 pick I’d choose La La Land for True to Cinema. Just imagine driving through the planetarium scene with them overhead.
For Disney Ren I’d personally go with Hunchback, only because some well-placed screens and some arches overlooking Paris would really accomplish a cool effect like the one you had while entering the Alien sequence. Quasi singing “Out There” also highlights both Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz, so double whammy of Renaissance writers. (And ofc Lion King shares that space)
My personal qualm with a Universal version of this: while it would be extremely cool and you could EASILY take direct inspiration from the backlot tour for a framing device, I would argue Universal lacks the franchises to do this. Consider that in recent years they’ve gone all in on stuff like Bourne, Minions, and Nintendo- brands that are either semi-dead, overused, or not theirs. Most of their content that works well for them is immortal, and they’ve already used most of those franchises. If they license from Warner and Paramount like they did for HP and Transformers, the library expands. I think that’s the only way to do the concept justice.
I love the La La Land idea because that film is basically a giant love letter to golden age movie musicals, so it’d fit perfectly thematically along with the others
I disagree with your assessment on the Universal one, yes most of modern Universal is using a couple of franchises and laser focusing on them, Harry Potter, Super Mario, The Minions, Jurassic Park, yet I’d argue movies like Frankenstein, Back To The Future, E.T., and Jaws are still classics and would still get people hyped despite being dormant franchises as of now
You did Footlight parade dirty.
For the Disney Suck-Up version, as you so eloquently put it, I have my own ideas for it. Rule 1: "No Marvel". Like you said, Universal Orlando makes putting any Marvel stuff in Disney World next to impossible, and Guardians Of The Galaxy is already represented. Which leads us to... Rule 2: "No Disney IPs already represented as a ride or attraction". If there's one thing I hate at the parks, it's redundancy. Toy Story doesn't need the Buzz Lightyear rides anymore! It has its own land, now! Other than that, anything owned by Disney is fair game. I'd keep Tangled, WALL-E, and Mary Poppins in my version of the ride. As for the others, I'd have The Hunchback Of Notre Dame, Hercules, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Meet The Robinsons, and Encanto, along with Tangled, represent Disney Feature Animation. I'd have The Incredibles, Inside Out, Coco, and Elemental, along with WALL-E, represent Pixar. For Fox, I'd do Home Alone, Die Hard, Anastasia, and Alita Battle Angel. For Disney live-action, other than Mary Poppins, I really only think Herbie The Love Bug would work for such a ride. And lastly, even though it's not, technically, a movie, it did have A movie. And considering how huge the IP is for Disney, I would add Kim Possible to the ride.
Your idea of adding Pirates Of The Caribbean to the ride is BRILLIANT, though. No notes. Stroke of genius!
i was also thinking inside out! great movie, really feels like the peak of what pixar represents and is loved by all age groups
For the true to cinema version, I would've also included Toy Story which I think meets all the criteria and represents Pixar and 3D/computer animation as a whole.
If Disney listened to the fans the films and theme parks would be so much better
Universal does
100% should have been updated the ride matched the park so well and was a must do great ride
Can you do if Jaws was built today? I imagine a Shanghai pirates type ride.
I would love to see an updated version. Even if it was "Disney Only" movies.
Perfect for the 35th anniversary of the opening of Disney’s Hollywood Studios on this day this year!
Idk where your frequent upload schedule is coming from but I’m loving it! Definitely one of my favorite theme park channels
I like the majority of your picks for your "True to Cinema Version". I'm not a big fan of incorporating animated films into it though. I understand WHY you think they should be included, and I understand WHY Disney probably would if they hypothetically redid the ride, but I wouldn't be into it.
I'd also drop North By Northwest. Should Hitchcock be included in the ride? Yes. But without the rights to his other classics, I'd exclude him all together. Plus, we don't have any other classic "spy thrillers" in the ride, so just forgo the genre.
I would take out Shawshank too. It's in my personal top 25, but I don't think it needs to be in the ride.
I'd keep Alien in the ride. I like Planet of the Apes being put in there, and transitioning from the end of Planet of Apes, into a scene from Alien, would be a great showing of how sci-fi changed from the end of the 60's to the end of the 70's.
Everything else I'm agreeing with. It's A Wonderful Life is one of my favorite films, it's probably my number one Christmas movie of all time.
One more thing I'll say, is I'd want to keep the interactive portions of the ride. That's actually the second reason I'd kick out the animated films being included. A huge part of the charm and fun of the ride was the inclusion of CM's and how they interacted with guests and the ride itself.
Okay but the scene where Andy celebrates getting out of Shawshank would be super cool to see recreated with an animatronic
Also imo I feel we need at least one animated film, I think Beauty & The Beast would be a good fit, you could recreate the ballroom scene with someone in a Belle costume and someone in Beast makeup or with animatronics if you want it to feel tangible
Commenting early, but they should do a "Disney Movie Ride" and include deep cuts: Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Pete's Dragon, Return to Witch Mountain, the nature documentaries, 20,000 Leagues, The Black Hole, Tron, The Love Bug...
Maybe the universal one would work with both the cat in the hat and jurassic park. Imagine if at the end of the ride, the cat in the hat comes out and is like "I think you forgot about me! My movie is so peak" and a T-rex sneaks up behind him and the cat goes "he's right behind me, isn't he?" and is eaten by the dinosaur
Can I actually invest in this somehow I think it will work
lol that’s great
Wow, not just one, but four different ideas! I love this video idea.
As for the original, it also depended on how expensive each scene is on whether it'd be realistically done, or not too. It wasn't just based whether they had the rights, or not to a film. For example, the reason why Fantasia is even in it is due to during the making of the original The Great Movie ride they couldn't afford the rights to the twister scene AND the munchkin scene for The Wizard of Oz. Due to being unable to afford both, but already installed the wind effects for the twister scene, they made it into Fantasia instead.
I’m so pissed
Disney wanted to refrain from paying a million a year for the rights to the featured films
They however obtained 20th Century Fox (or 21st?) and they at least have the rights to alien
I wish they’d just have bit the bullet and paid the royalties; they can afford it for gods sake!
They could have at least preserved that Margaret Hamilton animatronic
A new great movie ride will be most likely an advertisment for Disney ips that are relevant on their streaming service. I don't know if Disney will building a new one anytime soon, but the concept of this attraction is still underexplored.
For example the relative small park "movie park germany" opened relative recently its own interpretation of this ride. Their idea was to make a rollercoaster/dark ride hybrid attraction. It may not have the Disney/Universal budget, but I found the idea interesting.
I was smiling the whole time watching this. The universal proposal was my favorite!
The first I learned of Doctor Zhivago was when I studied abroad as a Madrid Streetcar appears in the film is located at the Pinar de Charmatin metro station. Still need to watch it but you took up 52mins of my life I could have used to watch that I could have put to adding 2.5hrs of block time to watch it. SIKE, don't think you wasted my time as this world of darkness is apart of me
I love these ideas and some would be amazing but I still wish all of the parks would focus more on film historical preservation. I know I’m such a niche audience because I’m such a big fan of classic Hollywood movies but that’s why I fell in love with the original idea of Disney MGM studios. It was the only park that focused on the golden age compared to the modern one. Even if people don’t know what the movie is anymore something might attract them to watch it and keep its legacy alive.
I think in the Disney-only version, there HAS to be an inclusion of Disney Channel Original Movies (DCOMS). The Cheetah Girls 2 or High School Musical 2 would be perfect additions!
So much better than the Mickey ride. This one gave me nostalgia and love classic films.
I think it would be really cool if Disney MGM Studios created attractions based on Disney Channel shows like The Owl House, Amphibia, The Ghost & Molly McGee, Kim Possible, Gravity Falls, Recess, The Proud Family and of course Phineas & Ferb. Universal announced that they’re creating a parade this summer inspired by Universal classics like Jaws, E.T., Back To The Future, Jurassic Park, King Kong and Ghostbusters.
If they were to make rides based on their shows, it would be more in line with Jimmy Neutron’s Nicktoon Blast.
@@Ihartwalrusguy Yep. I love Jimmy Neutron’s Nicktoon Blast, it’s a great ride.
Yeah if they're just doing rides based on existing media I would like something in that area
You forgot to include The Replacements in the Disney Channel shows.
WHy not Cameos from live action Disney shows I.E. Hanna montanna
it would be nearly impossible to happen, but man to have a rocky horror picture show section in a great movie ride would be KILLER!!
GREAT JOB!!! I can’t believe I never noticed the lack of silent films in the GMR! I’m definitely all for bringing it back as you described, just send this great video to Disney! 😎
Thank you for taking the time and care to make such a great video on my all time favorite theme park ride that really doesn’t get talked about enough these days. Keep up the good work!
I feel the movie 2001: A Spacy Oddisey would be a good one to include as well. It influenced all space movies after.
I also feel like for Universal Saving Private Ryan (as long as they mostly showed certain parts of it) or All Quite on the Western Front as that was Universal's first Best Picture Win, An American Tale and Land Before Time, another horror movie like An American Werewolf in London as it was the first movie to win a Makeup Effects Award from the Academy, Scarface, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Spartacus and Dracula! These are all classic films and even films that are either award-winning (The Grinch even won an Academy Award for Best Make-Up Design) or iconic! So Universal definitely had some additional ones they could include!
I would swap Beauty & the Beast with Little Mermaid since all of the 90s movies followed in its footsteps and you could argue it had a larger impact on the industry as a whole. Also Pinocchio absolutely needs to be represented. It is often regarded as Walt Disney's masterpiece and set the standard for animated movies. It is always listed as one of the top animated films of all time.
Using the term “no-brainer” when talking about Frankenstein made me chuckle. Great video!
I honestly think the Universal Great Movie Ride is possible, especially if they frame it as a version of the studio tour for Florida.
One thing I'm surprised you did not discuss one important topic: the ride system. Do you go trackless ride (like the original), roller coaster (like studio tour at movie park germany), or something else?
The biggest omission I felt from your true-to-film version is Gentlemen Prefer Blondes!! It was made by 20th Century Fox, features one of the most iconic film stars of all time, and the Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend scene would make for a more relevant version of the Footlight Parade scene! I know Marilyn is technically also used as a face character at Universal but they don’t own exclusive rights to her. Plus that ICONIC pink dress would be an amazing addition to the ride’s lineup!
Yo the universal gmr threw me for a loop and i literally clapped out loud lmfao WE NEED IT ASAP
personally I would have kept alien in the true to cinema section. it’s such a classic that I think if they were able to upgrade the ride and add your choices it would fit in well
50 MINUTES!!! Thanks for another awesome episode!!
I wonder why Snow White wasn't included in the original Great Movie Ride given its historical significance as the first feature length animated motion picture
Early Universal did have a Best Picture winner with All Quiet on the Western Front in 1930. They also had Show Boat, Imitation of Life, Destry Rides Again, The Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers serials, Abbott & Costello and W.C. Fields, the Jon Hall/Maria Montez desert epics, most of the Sherlock Holmes series, Ma & Pa Kettle, distributed some big British films, and the quality of their output went a step up in the 1950s.
THEY SHOULDVE NEVER TAKEN THIS AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY HEART IS BROKEN TO THIS DAY!!!!!!!!
I think a Disney’s Great Animation Ride or Disney’s Great Animation Movie Ride would be great. Disney World incorporate so much of their catalog both made and bought
You could do a scene with all the attractions that have been turned into movies: Pirates of the Caribbean, the Haunted Mansion, the Jungle Cruise, etc. It's a whole phase in the history of the studio. Same for the live-action remakes of the animated fairy tales.
The problem is that Warner Bros. owns the pre 1986 MGM film library, not Amazon
Well, that was a fun rabbit-hole! It got me to thinking about one more set of selections, one you almost hit with the Disney-centric take. A GMR Re-Imagining that removed the 8 (of 12) films that would require DIS to pay for licensing right and replacing them with scenes from films in the DIS owned catalog that fit both the physical space, scene run-time and the emotional/story beats of the existing ride. I think that would be the most realistic example of how the ride had evolved should it still exist in a parallel universe where MMRR was built in FantasyLand.
A Universal Great Movie ride would be sick!
Back in the days of broadcast/cable TV, when the Great Movie Ride was originally conceived and built, people were much more familiar with media that was made before they were born than they are today, when movies, TV, and music are usually something you either specifically choose or something that an algorithm feeds you based on your previous choices.
This channel recently has been insane keep pumping out the bangers
Thank you for the birthday present for mgm studios,as a westcoaster im sad its gone,i love runaway railway but it was not worth the change,i wish it was a stand alone ride,even more becuse that park has small amount of ride.
Anyway,here hopeful universal does there own movie ride.
From the pics, I gotta go with the Great Muppet Movie Ride(no brainer, plus we need more Muppet attractions)
If they go with number 1, then you could do scenes based on genres(western, sci-fi, comedy, etc) with the most popular moments contained in one scene like a collage.
If they went with number 2, they could just do a Disney by Decade ride, where they have scenes/characters represented based on each Disney Era(the problem would be updating it)
However, a wacky idea, would be combing 2 and 4, like Disney as told by the Muppets, where they parody scenes from Disney greatest films, yet still end with an ensemble singing Rainbow Connection.
Can you do "What If Jimmy Neutron's Nicktoon Blast Was Built Today"?
Or back to the future the ride
If I could make a great movie ride style attraction for Universal, I would use the scoop vehicles and it would be a time machine created by Doc Brown from Back To The Future and it would go through Universal movie scenes. I would put the ride at Universal Studios Hollywood because it is the parking started all
Okay, this was really interesting! But now that I've sat down and looked at it, there was one thing you didn't mention that I think you should have:
You're telling me the Universal version wouldn't use The Minions?
Caillou Gets Grounded should have a scene in great movie ride.
The Universal GMR lineup is definitely a banger.
The set of Apocalypse Now would be fantastic, especially if Michael Sheen appears popping his head up out of the water.
Predator would also be a great scene, and you could use the Peppers Ghost effect really well for the camouflage of the alien.
Spielberg's Temple of Doom is a no brainer, much better scenes than Lost Arc.
Lastly, one of the all-time greats, James Cameron's Aliens, with the scene of Ripley appearing out of the elevator in that Powered Work Loader... that would be sensational.
I don’t know if you guys know this but the man with no name animatronic was a later addition. You guys have to read the story of Clint Eastwood on the Great Movie Ride. It’s probably one of the coolest theme park stories I’ve ever heard!
Ideally just put in the biggest franchises, marvel, Harry Potter, Star Wars, Batman, lord of the rings, Toy Story, matrix, hunger games, John wick, Jurassic park, Pokémon, alien, godfather
Avatar? Wolf Warrior?
I need an Oppenheimer and a F&F in the Great Movie Ride for Universal.
Almost an hour!!! You know it’s gonna be a good one!
If there was a Great Muppet Movie Ride, EVEN THOUGH it's technically a TV show, you'd HAVE TO start with the opening sequence to the Muppet Show, complete with Waldorf and Statler.
For Disney's Great Movie Ride, you didn't think to include Zorro, True Life Adventures, or even the ultra-popular (at the time) Davy Crockett?
Hell, even the Muppet Movie should've gotten a mention: Kermit and Fozzie pulling up alongside the ride vehicle and asking the tour guide for directions while "Movin' Right Along" plays.
Just watched how disney built America and then I find this almost hour long video dropped. Woooo what a night
Man I don’t know why so many people are scared of ai he’s such a good channel
For universal, what about one for a culmination of Spielbergs work? His work is all over universals own history and park, so instead of doing specific ones... put em all in one.
I feel like the silent film era could be told via the queue line
For the Universal version, I'd ditch To Kill a Mockingbird and throw in Abbott & Costello. They made 28 movies with Universal including a crossover with the Universal Monsters.
ANOTHER ATTACTION IDEA BANGER LES GOOO
this is such a cool ass video keep up the amazing work! can't wait to see more!
If there were a Universal Great Movie Ride, I would love to see representation for one of the Don Bluth movies they own, those being An American Tail and The Land Before Time.
As a fan of the ride, I absolutely love this hypothetical
I love the true to cimena, universal, and muppets ideas and would be completely okay with any of these ideas happening with the exact lineups you just mentioned (I will do a little addition with Titanic in the Muppets version because I think it would be hilarious if they created some of those scenes from that movie)
I will say that in this day and age and knowing the mindset of both Disney and Universal, at least when it comes to their theme parks, Universal would make one hell of a Great Movie Ride and it would be perfect for Universal Studios Orlando as that park need some more interesting rides that are not bad 3D screen rides and if Disney ever wanted to resurrect the Great Movie Ride, I unfortunately think they would most likely go the suck-up/lazy route because they can't help themselves (which by the way, that mindset is why most people think Disney parks suck nowadays and why Universal is catching up to them when it comes to theme park competition)
Great video as always attraction ideas
Omg yes universal should totally do a great movie ride it just makes sense for what the park was about originally
Just got home from school to this! oh my day just got so much better
I think theres one category you should have done and it would be "no limits" version! where theres no licensing issues or anything in the way of making this ride! here's my version of that sticking to the original 12/13ish movies represented!
1 - silent era
2 - the public enemy
3 - King Kong
4 - snow white
5 - casablanca
6 - vertigo
7 - ben hur
8 - guess whos coming to dinner
9 - The Thing
10 - the godfather
11 - reservoir dogs
12 - the matrix
13 finale - smile darn ya smile.
I actually was planning on doing a no-restrictions version, but then I saw the runtime and said yeah this is already long enough lol
@@AttractionIdeas I would love to hear your take. And This video was so interesting! I hadn’t thought of this before! Super awesome video per usual.
This was such a great video (one of your best even). I can tell you had tons of fun with this! I personally want to see all 4.
But if you ask me in the first version, I don’t think your points about It’s a wonderful life, Lawrence of Arabia, or Forrest Gump would matter because they were all in the original projection ending anyway! My one thing about wonderful life (an awesome movie btw) is what scene would you do? I mean I can see the “merry Christmas!” Scene but I feel like that’ll lead to religious controversy.
Hmmm, now you got me thinking about it. I now wonder what Back To The Future would look like if built today. Oh nvm, that question got answered today! LOL
For your first choice, I'd still leave Alien in. Disney owns it outright, and it's still extremely relevant today, with an upcoming film, tv series, AND ongoing comics.
One thing I would’ve changed about the True to Cinema section is replacing Dr. Caligari with Nosferatu. The former is definitely an important piece of cinema, however Nosferatu is a lot more iconic and is often what people think of when they think of silent horror.
Smaller vehicles would be a plus in a revamp of this attraction thus allowing for a few more scenes
They could add RoboCop to the Disney version.
As for a Universal version, add Mario, M3GAN, and FNAF
Honestly, I think you made some good picks with all the versions (and lord the Disney suckup version feels a little too real), but I think the versions I'd like to see the most would be Universal and Muppets. I think feasibly Universal could do a similar ride, frame it as a revived "Studio Tour" ride, and kill two birds with one stone, infuse some of that studio energy back into the parks. And with the Muppets, you'd have the greatest amount of flexibility to parody any movie you wanted, even tossing in their existing parodies to build out from (I could see squeezing in a Pirates joke with Treasure Island, or parodying Star Wars and GotG with the Pigs In Space section).
Though while we're on the subject of other movie studio theme parks doing their own takes on a Great Movie Ride, what do you think a version at say, one of the international Warner Bros Movie World parks? Or for the never built Paramount movie park? Heck I've even wondered what a similar ride for the history of TV would look like, too. Especially with so many overlapping TV and movie studios all owned by the same companies. At the very least, I could see someone like Warner Bros either doing a straight copy with their own properties or using the Looney Tunes to do a Muppets-like parody movie ride. It's kinda more amazing that the original Great Movie Ride didn't inspire a ton of rip-offs, there's just so much potential with such a simple dark ride idea.
I would vote for the Lon Chaney Phantom of the Opera included in the all Universal Studios version
Great Muppet Movie ride is the best and only option and they NEED to do it when they inevitably close down Muppetvision. They gotta build a Muppet land and put this ride in there.
If Universal made one it’d probably take over simpsons and you could theme it back to back to the future. Film fan working at the institute sends us back in time through the movies.
I really like the idea of how it would have been if they did it today. But I feel one franchise was left out that should be added, and that is the James Bond franchise, I think it especially could be fun with the Muppets having this general spy theme.
If this is not in Universals plans then they're silly,tear down that Fear Factor stage and figure out how to build this,how many awesome attractions have been retired at Universal and having something from them back in the park would be amazing,and it would piss off Disney who now has that Runaway Railroad which is cute but it ain't no Great Movie Ride.
I think technically PotC was brought full circle with the Shanghai version of the ride which is based on the movies with some Easter Eggs of the original.
If the Marvel limits weren't a thing, I could see the big scene being Avengers: Endgame. Specifically, you would enter a scene through a Sorcerer Portal in to the big "Avengers Assemble" scene, with the theme blaring.
🥰❤️🌈👠👠🌽🤖🦁🤩😭😞 love this ride and love the wizard of oz scenes wish I lived there forever and always
If we’re including MGM properties that don’t have rides anywhere and are extremely influential, we *need* Bond. I can’t imagine a new GMR without James Bond.
what a thoughtful video. i LOVE your creativity!!
