Special Guest Star - YOU

   Step into the bright lights of the Disney-MGM Studios, and suddenly you're front row and centre stage in an epic production! Drama, laughter, action, applause! Musicals and mind-blowers, star power and powerful performances you'll never forget from the big screen to TV, from animation to 3-D! It's unreal! Just as everything in "Show Biz" should be.

 

Experience the glitz, glamour and excitement of show business at Disney-MGM Studios. Stroll down Hollywood Boulevard, watch as classic Disney characters are brought to life through the magic of animation, or plummet 13 stories down the elevator shaft of the Hollywood Tower Hotel.

The Great Movie Ride is one of Disney's most elaborate ride-through attractions, showcasing the charm, romance, suspense, intrigue and blazing six-shooter action of some of Hollywood's most memorable cinematic moments. The exterior, a full-scale re-creation of the famous Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, beckons to guests from the end of Hollywood Boulevard.

A major attraction in real-life film making is The Magic of Disney Animation. Visitors get an insiders view of animators and talented production artists at work producing the next generation of Disney animated feature films and short subjects. The buildings whimsical landscaping is inspired by the dancing brooms in Fantasia.

The Disney-MGM Studios Backlot Tour takes guests behind the scenes of television and movie production for a tour of sets and props from some of Hollywood's hottest films, as well as television homes of popular sitcoms. In action packed Catastrophe Canyon, tram riders learn first hand how natural disasters are created at the studios when they're stranded in a canyon during the filming of a flash-flood. 70,000 gallons of water are unleashed, accompanied by fires, a thunderstorm and an earthquake!

Live stage shows bring Disney's classic animated films to life: The Voyage of the Little Mermaid pits Ursula the sea witch against the mermaid Ariel; Beauty and the Beast - Live on Stage tells the story of Belle and the Beast, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame brings the tale to life in high spirited musical.

Youngster can get lost in the colossal backyard of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids Movie Set Adventure, a play area where blades of grass are 20 feet high. Jim Henson's MuppetVision 3D combines puppets, advanced 3-D action and in-theatre special effects to showcase the wild antics of these legendary characters.

Pros show off thrilling stunts in the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular. The death-defying heroics of classic adventure films are demonstrated on the gigantic movie set of this action-packed live production. Indiana Jones keeps the audience on the edge of their seats as he dodges a 12-foot-tall rolling ball. A truck gets blown up as Indy and his sweetheart escape in the explosive finale.

Passengers buckle up for a wild galactic journey to the Moon of Endor in Star Tours. The attraction combines flight simulator technology and a thrill-a-second motion picture to create an uproarious flight into deep space. Props inspired by the Star Wars trilogy set the stage as visitors enter the attraction.

Disney's Doug Live! comes to life through a mix of live performances and animation in an original story developed especially for Disney-MGM Studios. The story follows Doug Funnie, his dog Porkchop, best friend Skeeter, secret crush Patti and class bully Roger through the ups and downs of preteen life. Luck audience members are chosen to play small parts in each performance.

Comedian Drew Carey stars in Sounds Dangerous, a hair-raising demonstration of sensory sound effects. Carey is Detective Charlie Foster, filming an action-packed TV pilot detective show, and when the picture is lost, the audience follows his chase using stereophonic headphones.

The newest Disney thriller is Rock 'n Roller Coaster staring Aerosmith. This wild experience features a high-speed launch and multiple complete inversions, sending riders twirling into the Hollywood night. The indoor roller coaster twists, turns and tumbles upside-down to the diving beat of an original soundtrack written just for this attraction.

A heart-pounding, 13-story plunge awaits guests brave enough to venture into the Hollywood Tower Hotel at the end of Sunset Boulevard. Great special effects throughout are reminiscent of the television series, but all pales in comparison to the terrifying drops - not once, not twice but three times down an elevator shaft.
