Disney's Hollywood Studios is home to Toy Story Land, Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, and more. We take a look at the best attractions at the theme park, which has been welcoming guests since 1989.
If you haven’t been to Disney’s Hollywood Studios in the last decade or two, you might not even recognize the place. When it opened in 1989 under the name Disney-MGM Studios, the park focused on how movies were made. Its two major attractions on opening day were a studio backlot tour that took guests behind the scenes of a newly built studio that never really got to make all that much, andthat was perhaps a little too long and slow to become a real hit with the audience.
Just as the park’s name changed to Disney’s Hollywood Studios in 2008, the park’s focus eventually shifted from showing people how movies are made, to making people feel like they weretheir favorite movies. Toy Story Land and Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opened in 2018 and 2019, respectively, and both aim to put guests at the center of their own story.
As Disney World celebrates its 50th anniversary, Disney’s Hollywood Studios is perhaps the healthiest it’s ever been. Classics like The Twilight Zone: Tower of Terror and the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith continue to thrill guests, the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular serves as one last thread to the park’s history, and the new additions of the last five years have rounded it all out into a park that guests of all ages can enjoy.
Yeah, not even Star Wars can beat the Tower of Terror. You can find rides called the Tower of Terror at Disney parks around the world, but there’s only oneTower of Terror, and that’s the original at Hollywood Studios. I’m not being pedantic or obtuse here; they might have the same name and the same theme, but they aren’t really the same ride. The original Tower of Terror doesn’t just lift you up and drop you down an elevator shaft for a few minutes.
