Topic: Great Movie Ride refurb: What would you add?

I've heard the on again-off again rumors about the Great Movie Ride getting a refurb sometime in the near future, and it got me to thinking: What would you add or take out of The Great Movie Ride?

First, I would probably take out Tarzan for sure, and possibly Alien. Tarzan because I think Tarzan became relevent again in the minds of fans with the 1999 movie, and I think that another movie could be represented. Alien, too me, just seems a little out of place now. I would definately replace it with a scene that is equally as confusing to the gangster/cowboy ;)

As to what I would add... Well, personally, I would like the Superhero genre to be represented, its too bad that the major properties are owned by competeing parks (Marvel by Universal, DC by Six Flags) More realistically, if I did get rid of the Alien scene, replace it with another equally famous Sci-Fi movie (Star Wars being the obvious choice, since they own the park rights already, but I think 2001 would work quite well.)

Well I think the first update to the attraction should be the removal of the giant hat sitting in front of it...After that we could talk updates to the attraction itself...

I also should mention that in my perfect world, I would reopen GMR alongside two other Movie Ride style attractions. I would reintroduce the parody filled idea of the Muppet Movie Ride (which would also feature scenes from The Muppet Movie, The Great Muppet Caper, and Muppets take Manhatten.) and my History of Disney Animation (which I plan to show you guys soon enough.)

Some may call it overkill, but I'm fine with that.

They need to take a wrecking ball to the BAH first and foremost as Ken said.

I like the idea for the Star Wars and the replacing of the Tarzan. I WANT THE HAT GONE!!!! I would also enjoy a Muppets reference or ride itself. I love the muppets but mostly Sam the Eagle. If you got that you get extra points!!

I think Aliens should be switched out but I like the Tarzan room with it's detail. My family will always remember Tarzan b/c one time while riding, we were stopped in that room for around 10 minutes. Tarzan kept swinging back and forth with very little time between swings. After a while it became very funny and our whole car was laughing b/c he just kept going back and forth , back and forth. Every time now that we ride The Great Movie ride we look at each other and giggle every time Tarzan swings by. It's a great family memory. One of those things you go to Disney for and it happened all because a ride broke down. Go figure!

I was on that ride with you.

Probably not, but I had the same tarzan experience. Only we got past the stage where it was funny....
