We are all a little weird
And life's a little weird,
And when we find someone whose
Weirdness is compatible with ours,
We join up with them and fall in
Mutual weirdness and call it Love.”

Already covered, the extent of their sponsorship is a stopgap before the eventual closure (it is only video and signage updates, no ride changes)

Any word on if/when this is going to close the attraction for a refirb? Maybe if it's only queue changes and an update to the video montage at the end it won't be down at all. Fingers crossed it's not closed in February when I go, or touring DHS will be extra speedy.

Re: The Great Movie Ride and Turner Classic Movies channel
Hopefully it won't be closed while you are there, but even if they are only changing out the films, hopefully they take the time to refurb the AAs throughout the ride. Not sure if that has been done recently and goodness knows they could use it if they haven't been worked on lately!ImagineerWannabe wrote:Any word on if/when this is going to close the attraction for a refirb?

Since it would at least be a clean up pass, it might actually be closing for the polish pass since they usually replace carpet, paint and get everything visually cleaned up.

I'm looking forward to this. GMR has been overlooked in recent years. It needs a makeover so that it doesn't go the way of the Backlot Tour.

One of my favorite rides, hopefully this keeps it from closing permanently

Going in March, I will report back if anything has changed. I hope not GMR is one of my favorites. Although it could be improved especially the Busby Berkley scene!

That scene is pretty underwhelming. Thanks in advance for letting us know what it looks like when you goWyntuck wrote:Going in March, I will report back if anything has changed. I hope not GMR is one of my favorites. Although it could be improved especially the Busby Berkley scene!

It will be interesting to hear if anything has changed, though I imagine it will have to close for refurbishment before we see anything significant.
Can't wait to take my twin boys on their first trip to Walt Disney World! Planning on heading there sometime Feb-May 2014!
