Changes

At this point James Cagney appears on the right where he yells for someone to “open up in their”. On the left of the cars two men are hiding behind some boxes, apparently expecting trouble. One of the men, named Beans, tells his partner Squid to get down because somebody is coming. As the vehicles pass the two thugs, the stoplight up the street turns red and the ride vehicles stop. As the tour guide waits at the light, a gangster emerges from the shadows and hijacks the ride vehicle. She then tells the tour guide:

{{Quotation|The heats on, see? And your fancy car’s my ticket outta here. So beat it!}}

Following this introduction, the Wicked Witch of the West appears in a cloud of smoke and asks the tour guide if she killed her (the Witch’s) sister. When the guide replies no, the Witch warns that she is going "to get you, and your little dog too". Following the witch's departure, the tour guide wonders aloud how they will ever get home. On cue a munchkin appears exclaiming "Follow the yellow brick road". As the ride begins to move again, the tour guide tells guests to sing along. Moving forward, guests pass Dorothy, the Tin Man, the Scarecrow and the Cowardly Lion as they walk towards the Emerald City.

===Bandit Version===

The bandit version of The Great Movie Ride is the rarer of the two shows that guests can experience. On this version, the tram cars are not hijacked in the gangster scene. Instead, when traveling to the Western town, the tour guide notices that the bank is being robbed. Not wanting to "let this happen on (his) watch", the tour guide goes to stop the bandit. Unfortunately, she is quickly captured by a bandit and her partner. As the bandit begins taunting the tour guide, the sheriff tells him/her to "reach for the sky". After an ensuing gunfight the bank starts on fire, causing the bandit to jump in the tram in order to escape.
