Once you board the tram, your tour guide will take you on a “spectacular journey into
the movies” to the tune of “Hooray for Hollywood.” The attraction starts off with the
waterfall scene from Footlight Parade from the 1930s followed by an incredible
audio-animatronic Gene Kelly that is actually Singing in the Rain. Then you are off to
see a life-like Julie Andrews as Mary Poppins and Dick Van Dyke as Bert singing “Chim
Chim Cher-ee” on the rooftops of London.
Musicals quickly give way to the dark gangster underworld and Public Enemy. The
seedy streets of Chicago get dicey depending on how many ride vehicles are in use. If
there are two, the first ride vehicle continues straight through to the next scene as the
other is stopped. Things get a little hairy (and scary for little ones) as a shoot-out
occurs. A mobster climbs aboard and uses your vehicle as a get-a-way car.
