Tips on Planning Your Walt Disney World Vacation: Hollywood Studios

Walt Disney World Orlando Florida is a dream destination for any summer vacation. One of the four parks included within the Disney World compound is called Hollywood Studios. No, unfortunately it is not the one where movies are shot, but the place is filled with attractions that have been inspired by at least on of the Hollywood movie classics.

The greatest ride in all of Hollywood Studios is known as The Great Movie Ride. The entire place looks like the famous Chinese Theater, and they have copies of concrete blocks in which the stars stood in. This ride takes you through many different classic films such as The Wizard of Oz. and through such popular cultural contributors like the movie Alien. This is a definite must see for any tourist.

The next ride is inspired by the original trilogy of the ever popular Star Wars. Star Tours takes you to a galaxy far away in order for you to experience all the excitement the Star Wars galaxy has to offer. It is an exhilarating motion experience. Though you do not move anywhere the realistic screen makes it feel like you do. After the ride you enter a hallway that is lined with Star Wars advertisements and other memorabilia, and one of the best gift shops in the park.

One of the oddest attractions of any park is the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular. It is not exactly a ride but a theater. A live performance of the movie classic Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark is preformed right in front of the audience. You can feel the heat coming off of the exploding flames.

One of the most popular rides among thrill seekers is also located at Hollywood. The Tower of Terror raises a faulty feeling elevator with the riders strapped carefully inside, and drops them into free falls repeatedly. The sequence of the drops changes at random, so it is almost impossible for someone to ride the same sequence twice. The Tower of terror was designed after an episode of The Twilight Zone.

Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show is one of the most impressive displays of driving skill. It's like watching a major motion picture's driving scene being filmed before your eyes. There are no camera tricks either, there are real people driving real cars in insane ways. It is a must see for anyone who enjoys racing or action movies.
