History Ride / TheGreatMovieRide

* EmergingFromTheShadows: In his/her first appearance, Mugsy at first appears in the shadows, but then reveals him/herself after he/she gets the attention of the tour guide.
* EvilIsHammy: Mugsy is about as over-the-top as gangsters come. His/her jersey accent certainly doesn't help.

* GenreRoulette: The ride goes into films of all genres, including drama, romance, and horror. But since this is a ride all about the legacy of film, it's justified.

* GraveRobbing: The hijacker attempts this once inside the ''Raiders of the Lost Ark'' scene. [[KarmicDeath It doesn't end too well for him/her.]]

* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: During the shootout in the gangsterland scene, the rival gang is unable to hit Mugsy despite the fact that he/she's very much out in the open.
* ImpliedDeathThreat: When the hijacker gets out of the vehicle to steal the cursed jewel, he/she says to the guests, "Don't none of yas move while I get the goods. I don't think they'd notice a few extra bodies around here, if ya know what I mean..."
* IndyPloy: What does the hijacker do when he/she is driving a vehicle with a boatload of people through different worlds? Just keeps cruising and hopes something interesting will pop up.
* INeverToldYouMyName: Mugsy says this when the tour guide says his/her name, the explanation being that the tour guide had already "seen this movie before".

* MeaningfulName: A gangster being called "'''mug'''sy" sure seems rather fitting.

* NoHonorAmongThieves: At the end of gangsterland scene, Mugsy abandons his/her crew, showing no signs of remorse whilst doing it.

* OnSecondThought: When Mugsy makes the tour guide get out of the vehicle, he/she then tells him/her to scram. He/she refuses at first, but then says this upon seeing that a gang fight is about to break out.

* {{Tagline}}: The ride now flip-flops between two: "A spectacular journey ''into'' the movies!" and "The ultimate celebration of classic movies."

* TemptingFate: This happens with the hijacker twice.

* TooDumbToLive: As mentioned earlier, the hijacker touching the cursed jewel right after the temple guardian told him/her that disturbing it would lead to fatal consequences.

* DeadpanSnarker: Mugsy is this throughout, fitting in nicely with his noir setting.

* BreakTheBadass: The hijacker is visibly frightened once inside the ''Alien'' sequence, though he/she attempts to hide that fact.

* CardCarryingVillain: Either hijacker definitely falls under this, as they spend a pretty solid amount of time trying to steal everything in sight, making a big deal out of it in the process.

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: In visual-gag form, the attraction's original pre-2015 finale montage featured a romance section that showed a series of famous kiss scenes in movies, with the last one being a clip from ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'' of Roger and Eddie Valiant kissing.

* ItSQuietTooQuiet: The general mood of the ''Alien'' scene starts off as this, but then the self-destruct alarm sounds and out goes the alien…

* ImGoingForACloserLook: In the western scene, the tour guide says this and leaves the vehicle when he/she decides to investigate the bank robbery. This results in the ride vehicle being hijacked by the bandit.

''The Great Movie Ride'' was a dark ride that once served as the centerpiece attraction to [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks Disney’s Hollywood Studios]] at Walt Disney World. Located inside a replica of the famous Hollywood Chinese Theater, the ride took guests on a journey through some of the most iconic movie moments throughout the history of the American industry, specifically from UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfHollywood to UsefulNotes/NewHollywood.

* BloodlessCarnage: There’s no bloodshed in the current version of the ride, despite there being two big shootouts.

* ArtifactOfDeath: The ''Raiders of the Lost Ark'' scene has a cursed jewel, which the hijacker attempts to steal, with predictable results (see “StrippedToTheBone” below).

** Ethan Edwards serves this role in the western scene, warning the riders of the town they’re about to enter and that they should turn back. His warnings end up falling on deaf ears.

** In the ''Raiders of the Lost Ark'' scene, if you keep your eyes locked on a wall of hieroglyphics, you’ll see hieroglyphics of Mickey and Donald as well as C-3PO and R2-D2.
** In the Western scene, there’s a sign on a wall advertising "Ransom Stoddard Attorney", which directly refers to the character that Creator/JimmyStewart played in ''Film/TheManWhoShotLibertyValance''.

** Also in the ''Alien'' scene is a status monitor, which if you scan to about the middle of the message you’ll see a message saying “Walt Disney World welcomes all aliens currently residing on board this ship” and then another message saying, "Estimated time till next special effects failure: 45.8 years".

* GenreRoulette: The ride goes into films of all genres, including drama, romance, and horror. But since this is a ride all about the legacy of film, it’s justified.

* GraveRobbing: The hijacker attempts this once inside the ''Raiders of the Lost Ark'' scene. [[KarmicDeath It doesn’t end too well for him/her.]]

* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: During the shootout in the gangsterland scene, the rival gang is unable to hit Mugsy despite the fact that he/she’s very much out in the open.

-->'''Mugsy''': Runnin' a red lights against the law, and I never break the law! Watch this!\\

'''Mugsy''': No more red light!
* MasterActor: The tour guide is revealed to be one during his/her stint as a temple guardian, where they’re able to make their voice and mannerisms completely different.

* VoiceChangeling: While the tour guide is disguised as a temple guardian, they make their voice sound exactly like how you’d expect one to sound (a deep, booming voice). It’s even stranger when the tour guide is played by a woman.
* WaitHere: This is said to the riders twice in the ride, first by the tour guide during the hijacking scene and then later by the hijacker when they’re going to get the cursed jewel. In both cases, it doesn’t turn out so well for either people.

** The ''Casablanca'' finale scene is greatly simplified in the ride, with all of Ilsa’s dialogue removed.

-->'''Mugsy''': Psst, hey, you.\\
'''Tour Guide''': Are you talking to me? Are you talkin’ to me?\\
'''Mugsy''': No, I’m talkin’ to da dame in da funny-lookin’ outfit over dere. Yeah, I'm talkin’ to you.

* BookEnds: The ride begins with the song "Hooray for Hollywood!" and also ends with it. [[note]] That's because when one set of vehicles leave, another set is entering at the same time. [[/note]]

* BrickJoke: During the hijacking scene, the tour guide tells the riders that they’ll be back after they get some popcorn. Later after the hijacker is killed, the tour guide returns, saying, “See, I told you I was just going for some popcorn!”

** When either hijacker attempts to steal the jewel, a temple guardian [[note]]that’s actually the tour guide in disguise[[/note]] warns them that if they disturb the treasure of the gods, they’ll pay with their life. Naturally, the hijacker doesn’t listen.

* TheCityNarrows: The basic setting of the gangsterland scene, the tour guide even mentions how it’s the "bad part of town".

* DemBones: There’s one scene that’s dedicated to the Horror genre in general that features dozens of living skeletons. They don’t move very much, but it’s pretty clear to tell that they’re alive as their eyes are glowing red.

* ''Film/ThePublicEnemy''

* TheBigDamnKiss: The finale montage features several clips of them, including from ''Film/FromHereToEternity'' and ''Film/{{Notorious}}''.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: This attraction has 59 animatronic characters in total that span across multiple films.

* UpdatedReRelease:

-->'''Mugsy''': Runnin' a red lights against the law, and I never break the law! Watch this!
-->''(shoots out red light)''
-->'''Mugsy''': No more red light!

->''… CUT! That’s a wrap!''

* ''Disney/{{Fantasia}}''

The update turned out to be short-lived, however, as after a 28-year run, the attraction was permanently closed on August 13, 2017, with its replacement being a very large-scale ride based on the current [[WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse2013 Mickey Mouse]] shorts, titled ''Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway'', which is set to open in 2020.
