Inside the re-creation of Hollywood's Chinese Theater awaits a trip down memory
lane. From
Casablanca
to
Raiders of the Lost Ark
, classic movies are showcased in
this ride through some of the movies' most memorable sets. Young movie buffs might
be flipped out along the way
(Alien
is one of the movies represented), but the wonder-
ful Munchkins from
The Wizard of Oz
scene will make up for it—the Wicked Witch
of the North notwithstanding.
I've only seen some of these movies, so I like how it's not just a ride, but a
hostess who tells you about the movies, like if it's a Western or something.
There's the yellow-brick road from
The Wizard of Oz
, and the Munchkins
sing “Follow the Yellow Brick Road.”
