Disney Closing "The Great Movie Ride" in August

It is not even even going to be a roller coaster. It will be a 2-1/2 D (not 3-D) trackless ride.

You can see them describe it in the following video at #4 in the countdown.

Even worse.

SO. Are we old? Or is it because we're on a prop forum and can appreciate the history that is The Cinema?

I was never on the ride - I've never been to a Disney park (and no desire to do so!), but it sounds like this is a ride I would have liked.

Sigh. Just another example of "Get rid of the past. It never existed."

Nostalgia doesn't put butts in seats.

Nostalgia doesn't put butts in seats.

Tell that to Pirates of the Caribbean, The Haunted Mansion, It's a Small World, Country Bear Jamboree, etc. "Nostalgia" is a huge part of what keeps people going back to the parks over the years.

All this time, thought Skynet manufactured Terminators, we now know that it recruited all the now homeless animatronics from classic but closed Disney rides.

Yet honestly, there could be an Ark of the Covenant that needs rescuing?
