[@TaylorHound]

That's me as the Tour Guide! Thank you so much for posting this! It means the world someone was able to record and post my last ever show.

[@rachelsewell7026]

TaylorHound great job! One of the best I've seen!!

[@harlont]

Excellent tour guide. I really wish I could have ridden one last time. We won't be back until January. If you're doing another ride let me know so we can say hello!

[@Sempiternam234]

TaylorHound very handsome too!!

[@TheBlazersfan22]

you did a really great job man. You look like you had a blast. though what do you do now ??? just get a new position or something?

[@lewisscales3757]

TaylorHound what rides are you going to do now?

[@Trickstress_]

"Not bad for my last movie, huh?" Well that just stabbed me in the heart

[@falconflight28]

What a huge mistake by Disney. One of the best attractions they've ever created.

[@magslittle5298]

falconflight28 IKR! 😭

[@AMagicProduction]

falconflight28 We can say a lot about Eisner and his whole era... but at least he gave us new and exciting attractions (let alone brand new parks) Iger is simply trying to push IP's down everyone's throats to make the stockholders happy. We need new leadership already !!

[@falconflight28]

AMagicProduction I agree. I'm not really a fan of these new-age 3D shows/attractions where they simulate what you're doing on a screen. Nothing beats a good ole fashion attraction where you actually move forward, for example The Great Movie Ride. I really hope Disney doesn't go in this direction and keeps attractions such as Winnie The Pooh, Peter Pan, etc. where you move. But with removing The Great Movie Ride, they need to change their name. This park has quickly lost its "Hollywood" feel and is basically just "Disney's Not Sure Anymore" park.

[@Cargo_Bay]

FalconFlight pretty sure the new Mickey ride will be a carbon copy of the mechanics of GMR. Large capacity vehicles moving between screens and set pieces

[@southparkboyproductions6040]

They had to close it due to the fact that Robert Osborne passed away this year.

[@AMagicProduction]

Proud to say that tour guide is a great friend of ours, outstanding job taylor, the park won't be the same with out this ride!

[@JuicyTaz201]

Why are they getting rid of it?! It's my favorite ride!

[@AMagicProduction]

JuicyTaz201 because bob iger doesn't know what a classic attraction is and rather push IP's down everyone's throat. (To answer your question, the ride is getting replaced by a Mickey Mouse dark ride)

[@crabpeople7542]

AMagicProduction you have to admit though that all of those property's were very outdated. I know it's a classic but it needed to be updated. That being said not looking forward to crackhead goofy. If they do a Mickey ride use the classically drawn characters

[@AMagicProduction]

Brian Woulfe no I agree, this ride should have been updated at least every 5-10 years to keep it relevant. And I agree 100% the new Mickey cartoons are frightening, if Mickey's gonna get his own ride at least make him look presentable and give him his classic look. Once again just proves Disney doesn't know what they're doing right now

[@MrParkFan]

AMagicProduction what is "IP" ?

[@magslittle5298]

I think the ending bows were so sad!! I was so happy that everyone was cheering at the characters, some of the original lines, and the tour guide. Rip GMR, 2017. 😭😭

[@theochua]

Felt like a part of my childhood just died. :(

[@brendanjacky7731]

Theo Chua Same 😭

[@magslittle5298]

Me too! 😭

[@reddivision8948]

Me too. I've never cried this much in my life. To many memories of my late Nana has ties to this ride :'(

[@reddivision8948]

almost all of those movies I watched at my nanas house at one point too

[@Bradly105]

Theo Chua Same

[@GregsVlog]

I'm weeping watching this! I will miss this ride so much! Thank you to *ALL* the Cast Members who have taken us through this Spectacular Journey through the Movies ever since 1989! Great Movie Ride... You will be missed...

[@RailzProdTeam]

Well it was time for Mickey And Minnie's ride to be revealed...

[@TigerLightStudios]

I got to say the added background music ruins it

[@taeisntmybrotheryeehaw9255]

it really does

[@CoryValpo]

It's so loud!

[@allykoch4075]

Tiger Light Studios agreed

[@ResortTV1]

Agreed. There isn't any reason for it either. I've posted versions of this ride as have many others with no copyright issues.

[@badideabearcub2747]

Tiger Light Studios I can't stand it either. Had to thumb it down.

[@HSYunie]

This was always my moms favorite ride at MGM (I will always call it that) and it always will hold a special place in my heart. I went this past weekend specifically to do this ride. I will miss it.

[@britneyspears5727]

I thought I was the only one who still calls it MGM

[@TheCptCoy]

It will always be MGM to me

[@abbieglitterz2209]

Yaminy Prieto This is exactly me!!

[@sandracfitzge]

Oh, I’m so happy that I found this! My late husband Tom E. Fitzgerald was the Imagineer who designed the Show Sets, the track layout and even the neon designs. He even personally spent hours taking measurements and sketches at the real Grauman’s Chinese Theater in order to draw up the plans to build the replica that housed The Great Movie Ride. He was so incredibly proud of the work he did for the Munchkin village and the rest of the section for The Wizard.Of Oz. Apparently getting things the way they needed to be for the Wicked Witch’s appearance was pretty intense, but he was so excited to be able to access the original Set Design plans from MGM to refer to. I’m sad this show is gone. I’m sad when any of Tom’s projects gets reworked, like the original ride in the Norway Pavilion at EPCOT called Maelstrom. Now it’s a Frozen ride. I did hear that they kept his track design…

[@skatealex1]

It sucks to see this ride go. Hopefully the new Mickey Mouse ride will be quality. I also hope they keep other classic rides like the older dark rides and Spaceship Earth in Epcot.

[@AppleGaming4Real]

Spaceship Earth is rumored to be getting some type of redesign due to the sponsor leaving

[@Cargo_Bay]

skatealex1 spaceship earth is never going anywhere. If anything, they'll revamp the scenes inside, but the ride system and such will probably always be the same

[@AppleGaming4Real]

I did say redesign as in the scenes

[@MrSporeaddict123]

COMING SOON. WALL-E: SPACESHIP EARTH?!?! We can only hope to be blessed by the disney executive gods for such a change.

[@JoshTanner]

Rip great movie ride. You were one of my favorite rides.

[@lotaz6839]

Goodbye old friend.

[@kaileybaca1689]

"Not bad for my last movie huh?" :'( ...and no not bad at all

[@MK1MonsterOck1989]

3:28 R.I.P. Alien

[@ElizaShakiraMassani]

MK1MonsterOck1989 that is true. Now every bit of alien related things are completely gone from all Disney parks :,(. That's depressing.

[@garrettw3808]

:((((

[@MK1MonsterOck1989]

Same Here 2017 is Becoming a Bad Year For Disney They Got Rid of DisneyQuest, Ellen's Energy Adventure, The Great Movie Ride COME ON DISNEY GIVE US A BREAK! AND WE WANT MORE ALIENS! (BESIDES THE XENOMORPH!)

[@lilygile5670]

MK1MonsterOck1989 They got rid of the rides that did not test as relavent towards their primary audience, CHILDREN. The old stuff has to go to make room for the new.

[@MK1MonsterOck1989]

I See!

[@jamie-fy6cv]

Definitely going to miss this ride. My family and I have to go on it every time we go to WDW. Goodbye, friend. :(

[@sethcarlow8363]

it was awesome ride i am going to miss it. TaylorHound you rock. cut print and that's a warp. so long folks.

[@mkaplan1383]

The show must go on! The show must go on! Inside my heart is breaking, my makeup maybe flaking but my smile stays on.....

[@gfdia35]

Why did the uploader put music over the whole thing ???? This is documenting the last of something. Putting that terrible music over this is like public restroom graffiti in a brand new bathroom!

[@queenofthehouse0]

Thank you for posting this. I loved seeing my son, Mugsy, at the final bow. It was so great that you were all there to show your appreciation to the Cast Members. From what I know, they were very overwhelmed and grateful for the wonderful send off. Thank you.

[@Kansasis1]

Goodby old friend. You will be missed at Disney World. I have gone on this ride every single time I visit Disney World. It will be so strange to not have this ride their and be able to do this ride anymore. RIP Great Movie Ride.

[@Depth217]

When I went in June the audience was pretty dead and bored. I can kinda see where they're coming from replacing it. I felt bad for the tour guide.

[@nigeldreiner]

That's because it's not a roller coaster and so many guests today have no attention span and no interest in anything made before the year they were born. This was one of the best rides - education and entertainment, which was Walt's vision for his parks.

[@AppleGaming4Real]

It's actually very simple to why they closed it. 1. It's not popular 2. It's outdated. 3. They had to get a lot of rights for it. It was a great ride, but we have to look for the future.

[@Cargo_Bay]

Nigel Dreiner but not everyone likes roller coasters or simulators, so...

[@lessofamess9298]

Yeah I was there on a Saturday in summer and walked on... people who aren't actually Disney Park fans don't care enough about the ride to justify keeping it open. Obviously we all love it but most people are bored of it by now.

[@christianyoung5245]

Yeah we went to DW for the first time ever last year. We didn't even ride it. Didnt peak our interest I guess. Im not sure why but I must admit now i wish I did.

[@mjkceb]

One of my grandmas favourite memories at Disney was watching me sing Singing in the Rain as a lil kid in the cue for the ride!

[@stephburdick]

I'd call that the Great Movie Send-Off.

[@LuigiFreak64]

Everytime I see one of these farewell videos. It makes me sad. But the laughing and cheering of the people on-board make me feel happy. You will be missed Great Movie Ride.

[@Beth_-dx4ij]

Who started cutting onions half way through that gosh! 😂😂

[@SagittariusAyy]

The onion ninjas are everywhere.

[@FantasmicEars]

RIP Great Movie Ride. Thanks for the memories, experiences, and fun times. You WILL be deeply missed.

[@marcelorodriguez7543]

Wow!!! Another great attraction, Gone for Good... Hopefully the New Mickey's new attraction is good like they Said at D23 expo......

[@TheLostBoysGirls]

Marcelo Rodriguez Wished that Mickey Mouse attraction would come to the Disneyland Resort as well. R.I P. Great Movie Ride.

[@marcelorodriguez7543]

Disney Lost Boys & Girls Yhea.I been to this ride since I moved to Orlando.Back in the days in the early 90s when MGM studios was alive.One of my favorite rides.

[@peepthemeep8481]

Marcelo Rodriguez The new Mickey attraction looks like it will be filled with a load of 4-7 year olds. Not looking forward to lines of hours, crying, and screaming.

[@mattmatarante6272]

Yup. Just keep taking things away from hollywood studios because there is so much to do there already. Oh wait.. There isn't. This park is basically dead until next year. They should have waited to close this.

[@lessofamess9298]

They want Mickey's first major attraction to open in time for the park's 50th anniversary. Better they close it now and start construction soon than wait until next year and build a lower quality ride with less time.

[@TheMinerZ3]

Matt Matarante they haven't closed that many rides isn't it just this, the Indiana Jones show, and the studio tour? They still have toy story, rock'n roller coaster, tower of terror, star tours, and the Muppet show. Which are the night more popular attractions.

[@mattmatarante6272]

Keem they also got rid of the stunt show and the kid play area. Basically they have 4 Rides and like 4 shows. There is stuff to do but i mean compared to the other parks it just doesn't do justice. Don't get me wrong, i love hollywood studios. Its just that it is all happening at once.

[@0giraffe0]

Matt Matarante there's only like 4 rides at all the parks except the Magical Kingdom, which are all geared towards the youngest visitors. Hollywood Studios still has the best rides and really the only ones worth riding if you're over a certain age.

[@the_hoagie5463]

giraffe I wouldn't say that all of Magic Kingdom's rides are geared for little kids. A lot are, but rides like space mountain aren't, and that isn't the only one, either. There's star tours and splash Moutan and many more. Most of the rides are for young kids, but not all

[@deedoesthings]

"not bad for my last movie, huh?" had me weeping. i'm going to miss this ride so much :(

[@jacksonjones3741]

My Dad and I really loved this ride. My mother would say every time we go look theirs your ride but now since Disney screwed up taking out LIGHT'S CAMERA ACTION and now THE GREATEST STORY (THE GREAT MOVIE RIDE) that was ever told is gone. That ride me and my father still love and hold in our hearts dearly

[@Alfredo412]

Why would you film the show and then play music overtop?

[@Smoll_Bean_Kyo]

😭😭😭😭😭 I'm going to miss this ride so much

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We will all miss this fantastic attraction, RIP The Great Movie Ride!

[@caydubb]

I'm so glad our family got to see this ride back in May on our first WDW vacation before its closing. It was such a great ride and I am very sad it has closed. For me, it was the heart of Hollywood Studios. I feel now that Hollywood Studios is losing its identity in its current theme. I won't be surprised if the name of the park changes at some point in the near future with all the changes that are coming.

[@garrettw3808]

Disney back at it again removing precious rides that have brought joy to many all around the world. First it was the Nordic ride which is now Frozen, then it was Tower of terror in California, and now Universe of Energy and The Great Movie Ride? Why Disney, don't do this to us.

[@drx630]

your missing some of the greatest rides in your list, original figment and HORIZONS!

[@Ultrabalor]

In all fairness, Maelstrom wasn't really a big deal, it just blended in the background with other attractions in EPCOT. The Tower of Terror in Disney World is the better than the California version. Universe of Energy, renamed Ellen's Energy Crisis/Adventure wasn't praised by theme park fans. The Great Movie Ride came at a time when the Disney Studios didn't have any hit movies. Replacing attractions is what the Disney theme parks have been doing since they opened.

[@sapph1095]

Garrett White next thing you know it will be space mountain in magic kingdom

[@TackyFlamingo]

If Walt was around this stuff would still happen... Disney will always be expanding and changing

[@crazyfire9470]

@bruhhh your name is what I have to say to that comment

[@DJMusicJammer]

I worked here the first half of 2014 and it was the best job I ever had! I'll truly miss GMR! And did anyone else notice the rude manager at the end walking out telling them all to come back in? Geez lady, let them have their moment.....but anyway, great work everyone!

[@sigmaquadz]

take care Great Movie Ride. thanks for the memories.

[@9097771212]

Watching this brought back so many memories and its till hard to believe that it's gone. For a half ass Mickey modern cartoon ride....

[@lessofamess9298]

Connor Knox Don't call it half-ass until you ride it.

[@sachaconcerts8953]

Look How beautiful this decor is and now they replace it with white wals and projection shows on it

[@kalipassion04]

Who else kinda get teary eyed?

[@lizzie354]

I've always been in love with films & storytelling and ever since I was little, I was always so fascinated with this ride and would be going along guessing which scene was from where. This ride actually introduced me to so many of the classics I'm so glad I have now seen. I should've known then that I would end up a film student pursuing filmmaking myself... And now here I am, studying these films and thinking back to how this ride played a part in inspiring me to create films myself which makes seeing this ride go ten times as heartbreaking. And now that I'm older, I see how truly stunning the animatronics and their movements are. When I was younger, they just freaked me out hahaha... I'll never be able to fully watch Alien because of this ride but I'm okay with that. It's one of those rides that my parents took me to so I could see the films they loved and one that I wanted to eventually take my own kids to so they could see the magic of films they may not even hear about. But now that's not a possibility...

[@Zzzk23]

They let the cast take a bow. Awww. Really hope where ever the park puts them next will treat them well.

[@DrewFitzgerald]

i am so sad. this was my favorite ride and i dreamed of becoming the tour guide.

[@pearfruit5643]

Why you gotta give me the feels like this ;,(

[@BLU8]

Farewell to one of my favourite Disney rides! So many great memories! You will be missed! 😢

[@ElizaShakiraMassani]

A part of me just died inside. One of my favorite rides that I know every line too that I hoped I'd be able to work one day now I won't get to... :( 😭😭😭 Don't get me wrong thank you for posting this video but I wish you didn't put the music & silence the ride audio.

[@RaymondMulitalo]

So... I'm definitely in the camp of those who will miss this ride, but the outcry and mud slinging at Disney has me surprised because up until the point where things started closing down at DHS for the new upgrades, every time I went, this was a walk-on ride because no one seemed to care much about it (unless it was raining). So why are people so indignant that Disney is replacing a ride that really wasn't that popular? Am I missing something?

[@lessofamess9298]

Raymond Mulitalo It's beloved among park fans and almost no one else.

[@andrewsauseda5373]

Lol, seriously by no one else. Not even some fanatics like it.

[@gamera.8828]

Raymond Mulitalo people are doing the exact same thing with dragon challenge, at universal too, I one of the few people that probably rode it every time I went to islands if adventure, but I see why it needs to go,

[@smith9808]

Raymond Mulitalo you got to remember there's only a small proportion of hardcore Disney fans like us who watch these videos. Millions and millions of new people visit WDW every year and 90% of these people won't even know this ride exists or care it's gone.

[@nathandiaz4847]

Raymond Mulitalo it actually was a fairly popular ride until recently just because of how "outdated" it was which could have easily been fixed with more fluid animatronics and a few new scenes

[@isis_lisette]

I'm going to miss this!!! 💗😢

[@boredbum2009]

It's a shame they are getting rid of this such history of the movies that people will forget

[@IAmMisterTterevel]

The Haunted Mansion is a Ride That'll Never Die...

[@southparkboyproductions6040]

And “Big Thunder Mountain Railroad” will never die either!

[@Ronaldosleftballsack]

Idk if it’s confirmed but I’ve heard that it’s getting replaced :(

[@Ronaldosleftballsack]

gladly probably not considering how popular and how mad people will get if it does but at the same time it’s been here for many years so it might happen

[@nicolefisher4779]

My favorite ride. Too emotional! Thanks for sharing

[@BritishRailways60163]

This ride never felt its age despite how long it had there for, it has always been a highlight of Disney World, I can't believe it's gone, I first rode it in 2001, & have done many times since on my holidays to Florida, last rode it in 2016, will not feel the same when I go back again soon & not going on it, farewell old friend you have been a great ride, never failed to make me smile every time

[@laxplaya1346]

great video but could lose the annoying jazz audio track. unnecessary ITM

[@waltereturner]

Thank you so much for posting this. The Great Movie Ride was an iconic piece of Disney history and it will be missed. 😢

[@erindoodles1735]

A part of my childhood just died there... IM NOT CRYING, YOU ARE

[@21thowe]

Thanks for all the memories GMR. Wish I would of appreciated it more the last time I was on

[@TheJustina102085]

Man I’m going to miss this ride so much, huge movie buff and was the ultimate MGM ride for my family growing up!

[@amythaxton2660]

Thank you for posting this it means a lot to my family and I it's a wonderful ride that won't be forgotten

[@-kaitlynmalone-3363]

when he says "not bad for my last movie" my heart broke

[@AngelaCrafts]

I never went on the ride ;(

[@zacharyl4594]

The Hollywood that was for the past 30 years, and never will be again.

[@allysonwolfe2234]

2 years later and i’m still sobbing over this. this was my childhood

[@codyyardumian932]

It's kind of hard to see the thing go. However it opens so many new possibilities. Thanks Disney for making this ride and bringing light to movies that not many people know. Also thanks Cast Members for making the ride possible. Without you, This ride wouldn't be as special.

[@roccog83]

Wow this is sad! They shouldn't had got rid of this ride. It was a classic. I remember i used to go to Disney every year with my family since I was 10years, and always loved going on this ride. Now I am 34, and went 4 years ago with my wife, saying this was always my favorite ride. When ever I went on this ride, it felt like going back in time for a little bit, and feeling like a kid.

[@der22672]

The Great Movie Ride was the first ride my family and I rode on our very first visit to Hollywood Studios back in 1990. Of course then it was called Disney MGM Studios. Very sad day indeed. I thought it would be a staple at Disney forever.

[@DaveDynamite1]

I loved this ride a lot. It was the spark that allowed me to watch and appreciate classic movies. Another part of Disney history is being taken from us, and another way to get young people such as myself to watch classic films and just watch everything that comes out nowadays. Thanks for the memories and for the fun ride.

[@mjkceb]

Surprised myself with some tears for this video! I'e always gotten emotional at the end of this ride seeing all the best moments of such great movies after a such a cool homage to movies in the ride itself... will miss it!!!!

[@reddivision8948]

When I was a kid I always wanted to have that job to conduct this great ride. Never got to :(

[@potatoesareyummy981]

I miss this ride so much! I love this ride so much so when I heard they were closing it I was so devastated.

[@DanielWilliams-kz3le]

My favorite ride at Hollywood studios. Rip

[@HardeeQuinnDee]

I'm glad to have seen this as a kid, and to experience it again online. Great memories.

[@broadwaybaby3935]

This was honestly one of the best rides they had. Sad to see it go.

[@399wnka]

I hope these animatronics get put on display...I'd hate to think these would just be shut away in a warehouse or destroyed!

[@Anynom]

Sad to see it go, always a fun ride to enjoy.

[@ajaxkm]

I got to ride it for the last time back in July 2017. I had a great time. Thanks to the ride and the cast members for making it a memory I will never forget.

[@MsHotHandz]

Literally just cried-again watching this! I loved this ride ever since I was a kid! Many people have said it and it’s so true...I feel like a piece of my childhood died when they closed it. Sadly I will never get to share this with my children 😢

[@Metalcomedienne]

Truly amazing! Terrific work.

[@yassteve8145]

Absolutely loved the great movie ride!!

[@NuckyNackles]

Im crying watching this the great movie ride is and forever will be my favorite ride disney has ever worked on

[@ausername5410]

**cries**

[@andrewmartensen2390]

I am salty about the closure of this ride, I'm almost saltier about the fact that I will never get to work as a tour guide on this ride.

[@KatieVanHelsing]

God, this one kicked me right in the feels. Thanks for all the great years guys.

[@biwitchedxo]

"Not bad for my last movie, huh?" 😢😢😭😭

[@Sparrowpelt-tn4xy]

Ladies and gentlemen, friends and family, we are gathered here today to pay our respects to a beloved Disney classic. Like myself, I know many of you will miss the joy and excitement this ride gave each and every one of us. Sure, it might not have been the most popular ride in the park, but you can't deny that there was something special about it. It touched our hearts in ways that will never leave our memories, and to the employees in the video as well as those who worked on it in the past, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping to bring the magic of The Great Movie Ride to life. Thank you. ❤️🎬🎥🎞

[@randykathy8893]

Taylor was fantastic! What a fun last video of this epic ride. Hope Disney finds a new spot light for Taylor. People like Taylor make it fun for all of us. Thanks Taylor! From a Disney loving family who comes to Disney once a year.

[@Austin-ne4ib]

I love how the doors got slammed on the manager trying to rush everyone out at the end. Lol classic!

[@Audiblegaming]

It's a shame I never even got to go on the ride

[@TheMeggieiscool]

same here

[@nicolepeterson7050]

[@NSS247]

Farewell great movie ride I will never forget this Disney classic Btw congratulations Mickey after 90 years since you're 1st birthday you finally have a ride of your own.

[@badbatchcloner8632]

That's a wrap!😥

[@Wrathgir]

Seeing this makes me wish I could have rode this ride. I bet so many fond memories will be remembered from this from all the people that rode the ride.

[@alorindanya]

My favorite last day ever will still always be the cast dancing at the end of Block Party Bash...I was there watching them and I couldn't have been more sad for something so fun to go away.

[@SusieTheMommy]

This was one of the first rides my grandparents took me on when I was about 4 or 5 and I always loved old movies because of it. Just last week my parents took my kids on it. Pretty cool memories with this one.

[@demonicmasters8520]

I'm gonna miss it so much, I absolutely loved this ride

[@angelasmith6953]

This makes me so sad. I miss this ride (and this park as it once was) so much. 😞

[@WonderWhatsNext]

What a great ride this was. We will miss it for sure. Great job Taylor! Love the excitement!!!

[@mariannacrispychips3863]

So sad this ride is going to be gone. Ive been on this ride once and it was magic! Very fun and enjoyable!

[@thedragonfan1570]

The saddest moment of my life, I loved that alien scene and you will never be forgotten great movie ride!

[@sk8terjoe98]

I absolutely loved this ride! I really wish Disney never closed it down.

[@MrBigluke76]

My only trip to WDW was October of 2015. this was my favorite ride. I rode it twice, and luckily, i happened to get both versions! I am glad to have seen it. Thank you, TGMR cast!
