Hooray for The Great Movie Ride: Our last ride on another classic

8/13/2017

Here we are with another update to say goodbye to another classic attraction at Walt Disney World and the last remaining opening day attraction at Disney MGM Studios as it was called back then. 

​We were one of the last riders to ever go through this classic attraction.

​Looks like a bank robber hijacked our ride vehicle once again.

It's crazy to see these old school animatronics and how advanced they've become when you compare it to something like Na'vi River Journey

T​he set designs throughout the ride are still quite impressive.

​Maybe these guys could transfer over to the Jungle Cruise.

One last journey through the Universe of Energy at EPCOT

8/11/2017

 
Picture
This weekend we are saying goodbye to another classic attraction that probably wore out it's welcome a bit. Universe of Energy at EPCOT. 

While the concept is great, and we should all learn a bit more about the world around us, we think it's safe to say this one could have used some updates throughout the years.

​The preshow for Universe of Energy might just be my favorite part. Gotta love 90's Ellen, Bill Nye and Jeopardy.
