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.)

Originally Posted By Disney and beyond 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.

Originally Posted By magic0214 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!!
Originally Posted By CarolinaDisneyDad 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!
Originally Posted By magnet 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....

Originally Posted By pitapan16 Take down the giant hat that blocks the beautiful Chinese theater. The hat ruins the view down Hollywood Blv of the elaborate and fitting Chinese Theater. That would be the first thing I'd do at that park. Then set the park on fire with re-vised thinking, ideas, themes, and rides! The place has been desperate for acouple "ride" rides. I know its a show park but for goodness sake put some rides in to change up the day without having to walk all the way over for Tower or Rockin. Muppets would be a good potential property to really build on I think, as well as the already implemented Pixar Place. Calfifornia Adventure to me is almost if not already a more interesting park and thats not saying too much since DCA was built the low ball park of the US Disney parks.
Originally Posted By lilgoofymom Is there anyone who actually Likes the Hat? Besides the designers who put it there in the first place? As far as GMR refurb, I would like to see a Star Wars scene instead of the Alien scene. It would not be as "scarey" and there are a lot of Star Wars fans out there. Maybe even an Indiana Jones scene in there? I would rather have the Indiana Jones ride built than just a scene in GMR though.
Originally Posted By Disney and beyond >>Maybe even an Indiana Jones scene in there?<< There is already an Indy scene in the great movie ride
Originally Posted By leobloom Why don't they just combine the Alien scene with the Indiana Jones scene? That's basically what the last Indiana Jones movie did (and did so horribly, I might add, but that's for another discussion).

Originally Posted By lilgoofymom Oh for petes sakes! That is the major part of the ride. Excuese the lapse of brain usage.
Originally Posted By Disney and beyond Don't worry, it happens to me all the time. I always forget to recommend Spaceship Earth to first time WDW goers
Originally Posted By leobloom >I can't really think of another good Movie Genre that needs representation. Any ideas?> How about a raunchy, gross-out, sex comedies?
Originally Posted By Wingman1969 ^ Oh yes, I can just see how Animal House or Porkys would fit in there, LOL. Personally I wouldn't mind seeing a Planet of the Apes replacing the Aliens scene (I just don't think that too many people would recognize 2001).
