Disney's MGM Studious
At this park which opened in 1989, you will find some rides, shops, and attractions that appear to be strait out of Hollywood in the 1930's. You get to see first hand how movies are made and at this theme park there are tons of hands on activities for you to do.
Note:
There are no specific lands or countries in MGM, its all just one big place and can be a bit
confusing
Attractions
The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror
This is quite possibly the scariest ride in all of Walt Disney World. Legend has it that there is something strange
to the elevators in this creepy old hotel. So...guess what? You're going for a ride in one of them, creepy music, voices, and pictures make you feel as if you are going back in time
and just as the black sky fills with stars....AHHHHHHHHHHH!
Beauty and the Beast Stage Show
Several times every day, all of the stars from the Disney Movie: Beauty and the Beast, come out and put on a presentation of their story. A nice way to relax during a busy day.
Voyage of the Little Mermaid
This show is a great one too, Many of the characters from this Disney movie dance and sing to the songs from the
movie and numerous special effects make you feel as if you are under the water. This ride usually has a long wait.
The Making of...
This show educates guests on the long processes of making a movie. It takes you through the character's voices, and the animating.
The Magic of Disney Animation
This is also a wonderful attraction. As you enter the building you can see pictures and awards on display from past or future Disney movies. Once inside, you see a film on how a voice is turned into an animated character, and then you take a walk through tour of some animators at work, you are led and educated by television screens above you.
Studio Backlot Tour
At this spectacular tour, you see a short special effects show with guests from the audience and then you board a tram vehicle and journey through many departments of the
studio and by a wardrobe department after that you see old props from movies and houses from various tv shows, then your tram goes up onto "Catastrophe Canyon" and pretty soon the ground shakes, water comes pouring down and people on the left side of the tram get wet. It is one of my favorite rides in Disney World.
Backstage Pass To 101 Dalmations
This show is a totally behind the scenes look at the making of the live movie 101 Dalmatians. It shows how the audio-anamatronic dogs were working alongside real dogs to make this
movie seem real.
The Great movie Ride
This ride, which is a replica of Mann's Chinese Theater takes guests on a journey through the movies!!! It is a fairly
long wait but once on your large vehicle you take a journey through movies like "Singing in the Rain", "Mary Poppins", "Alien", "The Wizard of Oz", and many more. Some of the
scenes in the ride like the bank explosion and the alien space ship might be a little scary for little kids!
SuperStar Television
In the preshow of this ride, several guests are selected to perform roles in famous tv shows, once inside the huge
theater you get to see those brave souls in some famous parts in I Love Lucy, a news show, Home Improvement, and more. Even if you don't get picked it is a really enjoyable experience.
Monster Sound Show
This is another hands on show where selected guests get to make the sound effects for a short film, after there attempts
the sounds are played with the film and everything is almost always mixed up and funny!
Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular
After seeing a lot of Indiana Jones scenes: escape from a jungle temple, fight in a African market, you will have a much better understanding of how he pulls off his amazing stunts!
Star Tours
This ride is great if or if not you are a
Star Wars fan. Your favorite droids R2-D2 and C-3PO return to take you on an amazing journey through space, even though you move about a foot at most. It is an incredibly fun
and thrilling ride that uses simulated movement. It might be a little bumpy for some people though.
Jim Henson's Muppet Vision 3-D
In this show all of the muppets join you for a ton of funny 3-D mishaps, after a bunch of laughs and a lot of 3-D effects, the show ends with a colorful fireworks display.
Honey I Shrunk the kids Movie Set Adventure
This is a huge playground with tons of rocks, slides, waterspouts, grasses, and bugs that make you feel miniaturized.
Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame - A
musical adventure
This show, performed in a cool, shaded theater, takes you
back into the Disney movie. The gypsies tell the story of the Hunchback through many means and it is a great show that you should be sure to see.
