My main dilemma is that replacing existing rides does not really contribute to the capacity of the park. All the parks are stacking up in abig way, and rather than adding a pavilion to EPCOT or rides to existing pavilions, they chose to replace other rides (Frozen ever after and Mission Breakout for example). To that end my answer is both refurb GMR and introduce RaR, they do have space at WDW, that was the hole point in the first place after all

Yes! Absolutely! 100%! This is the reason I was much more excited about Remy’s than Guardians, because Remy’s was a true addition rather than a replacement. Need so much more of this!
while I really did enjoy MMRR, I will always miss GMR
it was truly one of my faves, but as has been discussed, so many of those movies and actors are lost on the current generations. I love when they would sneak some new films in to the montage at the end, but that would not be enough to get repeat riders these days. for me, I rode GMR every trip at least once. Not sure I love MMRR as much to spend time in the line for it each trip if its too long.

I think that’s okay! There are some things I think are better for sure but I still miss what was there before. For example, Soarin. I fully support that replacing Food Rocks but I still miss Food Rocks sometimes. I also miss GMR and would ride multiple times per trip before it left us. I’m at the point in my life where I’m not going to stand in a crazy long line for anything no matter what it is
Even if there is cake at the end of the line?!
Well we can’t say we were not warned, as per Walt, “Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.”
I imagine that applies to all the parks!Anyhow, I too miss the GMR, Turner Classic Movies is one om favorite channels. Have yet to do MMRR and looking forward to it this fall, but it will be with a wincing bit of nostalgia for the GMR.
Actually, our working plan for our Fort Wilderness Halloween decorations is “Day of the Extinct Attractions”, ala “Day of the Dead.” Right now it is planned to salute Horizons, 20,000 Leagues, If You Had Wings & Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride. But is is still a work in progress. Would a Mr. Toad Piñata being pummeled by Winnie the Pooh be in poor taste?
Someone say Pooh? Oh bother!Agreed they need to build more new attractions as opposed to revamping old ones and not increasing their capacity and they don’t need to be “headliners.” Heck, look at Slinky Dog Dash, not a “ground breaking” attraction, just well themed and the current stand by wait is 130 minutes, longer than Smuggler’s Run!.
it could really use an interactive queue. I will give them, Imagineering, credit, planning a park and the attractions to keep people spread out, happy, etc. is one heck of a job!Even if there is cake at the end of the line?!

I imagine that applies to all the parks!Yup, even if there’s cake, I don’t like cake
make it a million dollars and I’ll think about it 
yes I’m not against change (unless it’s arbitrary and done poorly 
) but allowing change doesn’t mean I don’t miss the yesteryears. I LOVE the sound of your Halloween décor theme! Please share pictures after!
Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway is not just being in the movies your actually into their very own cartoon episode TV series with a little bit whimsical which could be like Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin without the locomotive. The map painting during the Gag factory at the end is really impressive, but? The Great Movie Ride will always and will be in my heart forever. I mean you really “Ride the movies & see the stars” yes update the scenes like Tombstone for the Western scene but keep John Wayne with his horse, keep The Wizard of Oz with adjustments and could’ve really had Sorcerer Mickey AA
with water effects. GMR forever!
