Hollywood Studios was very popular with big and little J on our last trip to Walt Disney World and I think we spent more time there overall than any other park. The new addition of Toy Story Land makes Hollywood Studios very popular so have a read of our ride guide and spoilers to make the most of your day.
Echo Lake
Star Tours - The Adventures Continue
Type of Ride - 3D motion simulated ride through space.
Hints, Tips or Spoilers - We went on this a few ride a few times and if you are lucky you will be put in a different numbered simulator than the time before so you will have a different 3D adventure. They will choose someone from the spaceship as a rebel spy and pop their photo on the screen which is fun especially if it's you. Unfortunately you won't have time to snap a photo of it though. The shop on the way out has some amazing Star Wars memorabilia so make sure you take some time to have a look.
Min Height - 40"/102cm
Fast Pass + - Yes
Ride Photo - No
Toy Story Land
Slinky Dog Dash
Type of Ride - Family friendly rollercoaster with twists, hills and drops. Each row seats 2 comfortably.
Hints, Tips or Spoilers - Can be fast in places and stops briefly to then whizz off again quickly. Queues for this ride can get very long so fast passes are essential, we noticed that even booking 60 days in advance some days had already allocated all fast passes so make sure you are booking this one as soon as you possibly can.
Min Height - 38"/97cm
Fast Pass + - Yes
Ride Photo - Yes
Alien Swirling Saucers
Type of Ride - Spinning ride which weaves in and out with fast turns. Each rocket seats 2 comfortably.
Hints, Tips or Spoilers - There are two sets of swirling saucers so the queue seems to move a lot quicker than what is advertised. Again queues can get long, however this one does have availability for fast pass at most times.
Min Height - 32"/81cm
Fast Pass + - Yes
Ride Photo - No
Toy Story Mania
Type of Ride - 4D Shooting game. Each vehicle seats 4 comfortably with each rider getting a gun so you can join in with games
Hints, Tips or Spoilers - Lots of fun with you competing against everyone in your vehicle to get the best score over 5 different games. If you give it your all your arm will ache afterwards. The ring toss section is the most valuable with plenty of 1000, 2000 point targets available. Keep an eye out for the aliens in the top right and left corners as these are worth 5000 points in this section. In the final section there is a bonus game which requires some shooting speed. The faster you can shoot the higher the points value unlocked.
Min Height - No
Fast Pass + - Yes
Ride Photo - No
Sunset Boulevard
Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Staring Aerosmith
Type of Ride - Fly round on this high speed rollercoaster to the tunes of Aerosmith.
Hints, Tips or Spoilers - Starts off very quickly. There are several loop the loops and is very dark inside. Keep your head back to start with and smile. The camera is right at the start of the right before the first loop. If you are a music fan make sure to have a look at the framed posters and T-Shirts on the inside of the building just before you go through the doors, some are highly collectable and rare.
Min Height - 48"/122cm
Fast Pass + - Yes
Ride Photo - Yes
The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror
Type of Ride - Hop on board the elevator of the Hollywood Hotel.
Hints, Tips or Spoilers - Sudden ups and drops whilst sat in the elevator. Your bum will lift off the seat and there is nothing to hold on too, which makes it more fun. This one takes both photo and a short video of you on the ride which is a really good idea. You don't need to scan your band or pass as the right will automatically detect you and send the video to your memory maker.
Min Height - 40"/102cm
Fast Pass + - Yes
Ride Photo - Yes
