Disney Parks Ride Guide - Disney's Hollywood Studios

As promised in the previous post, I said I would provide a guide to the rides, along with any warnings and restrictions that come with them. But...as there are four parks, it was a tad too big for one post. So, I am splitting it up into the four parks. Park #1 is Disney's Hollywood Studios.

RIDES


The Great Movie Ride
Height Restrictions: None
Wheelchairs: Accessible.
General Warnings: Dark, scary scenes. An alien tries to eat your face off.
Ride Description: It is a slow moving tram ride through classic scenes from movies like Casablanca, The Wizard of Oz, and Fantasia.
Fast-Pass: NO

Toy Story Midway Mania
Height Restrictions: None
Wheelchairs: Must transfer
General warnings: Jerky/fast moving, 3-D. Longest wait in the park. Ever.
Ride Description: 3-D action meets a fun, fast-paced shooting game. Fun for the whole family! (As long as you only have 4 people in your family)
Fast-Pass: YES

Studio Backlot Tour
Height Restrictions: None
Wheelchairs: Must transfer
General warnings: Jerky, loud noises, fire.
Ride Description: A slow-moving tram ride through the backside of a movie set, including costuming and special effects.
Fast-Pass: NO

The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror
Height Restrictions: 40"/3 foot 4 inches tall
Wheelchairs: Must transfer
General warnings: Sudden drops, darkness, loud noises, scary scenes...basically, don't go on this one if you have a heart condition or a fear of heights/the dark/storms/anything.
Ride description: An old maintenance elevator plunges you 13 stories down...into the Twilight Zone.
Fast-Pass: YES


Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith
Height Restriction: 48"/4 foot tall
Wheelchairs: ...Really? You need me to tell you? Fine. NO WHEELCHAIRS.
General warnings: High speed, drops, inversions, darkness, loud music. Could possibly blow your ears out. Usually a pretty long wait too.
Ride description: It's a really, really fast, indoor, Aerosmith-themed roller coaster.
Fast-Pass: YES

Star Tours: The Adventures Continue
Height Restriction: 40"/3 foot 4 inches
Wheelchairs: Only in the queue. Not on the ride.
General Warnings: 3-D, some scary scenes, can get bumpy.
Ride description: 3-D simulator that takes you across the galaxy on many different quests.
Fast-Pass: YES

And that's it for Disney's Hollywood Studios! (Yes, there are only six rides in the entire park. Deal with it.)
Next time: Epcot!

AGENT R IS OUT. PEACE.

  1. I just want to say that the Aliens scene in The Great Movie Ride is short and over quickly. It is seriously worth it to watch some of the greatest movie scenes come to life.

    Also, some kids might be afraid of the Wicked Witch of the West-- no monkeys, at least!

  2. Oh, rubbish. She has no power there.
