Location: Hollywood Boulevard

Description: Located inside what used to be the park’s major icon, the Chinese Theater in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the Great Movie Ride is a slow-moving vehicle ride through some of the film industries most classic films.  You will pass by almost 60 animatronic actors (including scenes from The Wizard of Oz, Singing in the Rain, and Casablanca to name a few) and your film journey will take just over 20 minutes.  Your live tour guide will become part of the show in either a Gangster or Cowboy sequence and the “show” will end with an amazing film clip montage.

Average Wait Times: The Great Movie ride can get pretty busy mid-day but since ride vehicles hold 60 people and there is a large movie film screen to distract you while you wait it is still a good choice if you are looking to beat the heat or wait for a Fast Pass to become active! The closer you visit to park opening or closing the best chance that you will find this ride with little to no wait!
