10 Walt Disney World Experiences That Closed Too Soon

10) The Great Movie Ride at Hollywood Studios, 1989 – 2017 Sadly, our beloved Great Movie Ride is no more. It closed in 2017 to make room for a completely new attraction—Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway—which happens to be the first-ever Mickey-inspired ride at Walt Disney World. And though we wait with bated breath for the new ride, we dearly miss the attraction that took us through scenes from some of the most famous films in history. And the queue was impressive too—it was home to memorabilia from many classic films. The 22-minute ride featured over 60 audio-animatronic robots that were used to portray characters in scenes of famous movies like The Wizard of Oz, Mary Poppins, Fantasia and more. We even got to experience a “live” scene from a gangster movie. It was one of the most elaborate attractions at Disney World and fans of all ages will miss it for years to come.
