Other details are leaking out, including that Robert Osbourne will provide a narration for the actual ride, and there will be a classic movie themed photo op at the end of the ride. I think this is all good thing. We are big TCM fans in our house :thumbsup:
All I've read in the orlando sentinel and other reputable sources is that Robert Osborne is narrating the pre-show/pre-ride video.
And yes, changes could and hopefully will come over time... But right now, just the pre and post show.

Not the ride... just the pre/post shows...

Sorry If I presented wrong information. Yes Osbourne is hosting the pre show movie for sue, but there was a line actually from the Sentinal article that I thought indicated he was also narrating the ride. After it talks about the pre show the article states "Osborne will also provide audio for the ride, including more in-depth explanations of the film genres it explores." I have not seen this anywhere else though, including the official TCM release.

Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection, the lovers, the dreamers, and me.
The current ride does have some narration in between when you lose your driver and when you get to the temple scene ("You are aboard the spaceship Nostromo ... ").
It could be that maybe.

I would venture to guess that this new deal with TCM and the GMR was part of the reason for the removal of the hat.
Yeah, your sponsored ride with all the TCM logos is tucked back there, behind that blue pointy hat.... I don't think so.

Such a rinky-dink refurbs. So they update the film showing in the 'theater' part of the queue and the finale.
By not changing any interior scenes are they saying nothing classic has happened since the attraction opened? Wasn't Alien a bad fit from day one?
It just seems like someone said, "We're taking down the Sorcerer's Hay so the theater will be very visible and what's the cheapest fastest was we can give the impression we've updated this attraction?
Instead of making the wait to ride Peter Pan's flight shorted they decorated and lengthened the queue (and closed a regular restroom pitstop). What's wrong with these pictures?

While you may think this refurb is minor, I see it as a step in the right direction of refreshing rides and reviving the use of corporate sponsors, which has been how Disney has funded rides since the opening of Disneyland. Whose to say that after some of the new rumored changes for DHS have happened that they then close GMR for a longer period of time for a more extensive rehab?
With the opening of the bathrooms on the site of the old skyway station, you could afford to lose the bathrooms by Peter Pan and help to make the queue for Peter Pan, which is always at least 30 minutes long, more entertaining.

Exactly christine.
They can't afford to close down the attraction right now. HS needs its. Once the rumored expansion is complete, then it can be taken down.
Similar issue with Expedition Everest. The Yeti needs to be fixed, but they can't afford to close the attraction. Maybe once Pandora is open it can be shut down.
