The Great Movie Ride is an attraction located in [[Disney's Hollywood Studios]].
==Attraction History==
The attraction that would one day be known as The Great Movie Ride actually began as an idea for [[EPCOT Center]] <ref name= "Studios"> http://www.studioscentral.com/history-great-movie-ride </ref>. In the early 1980’s a team of Imagineers, led by Randy Bright and WDI president Marty Skylar Sklar were tasked with creating two new pavilions for Future World <ref name= "Studios"/>. The team came up with two ideas, the [[Wonders of Life]] pavilion and the Great Moments at the Movies pavilion<ref name= "Studios"/>. While the Wonders of Life was green lit for inclusion in EPCOT Center, the Great Moments and the Movies attraction was set aside by Disney CEO Michael Eisner<ref name= "Studios"/>.
The original plans for the Great Moments at the Movies, called for the pavilion to be placed in between [[The Land]] and the [[Journey Into Imagination]] pavilions<ref name= "Studios"/>. The basic plot for the attraction which was to be housed within the pavilion would not only have given guest an inside look into how films were made, but it would have also allowed them to enter the films themselves<ref name= "Studios"/>. The façade for the new pavilion was to feature a movie set backdrop with a ticket booth for an entrance. The façade was intentionally designed to look fake as a commentary on Hollywood itself. After seeing the Great Moments at the Movies concept, Michael Eisner decided that the attraction was strong enough to build a whole new park around<ref name= "Studios"/>. Eventually, Disney decided to create the Disney MGM Studios, with the Great Moments and the Movies attraction as the new park’s centerpiece<ref name= "Studios"/>.
