Lights, camera, action! The Great Movie Ride takes guests on a slow moving 22-minute
journey through the movies. A full-scale reproduction of the famous Grauman’s Chinese
Theatre sets the stage for the exterior of this attraction. The exterior of the building is
complete with palm trees as well as famous handprints, just like the original in California.
As you enter the queue, be sure to enjoy the Chinese décor as well as the various costumes and props from actual films, including a carousel horse from Mary Poppins. The
theatre queue zigzags as you watch various movie scenes on a large screen. Take time
to enjoy the clips because if the line is full, it may take as long as 25 minutes before you
are able to board the ride vehicle.
