Hollywood Studios at Disney World Favorite Ride or Attraction
So you are going to Hollywood Studios at Disney World, What is the one ride you are most looking forward to? Maybe you have been to Disney's Hollywood Studios? What is your favorite ride or attraction?
Below is a list of the favorites:
American Idol Experience:
The American Idol Experience at Disney's Hollywood Studios is held on a replica of the American Idol set where you experience being onstage or in the audience voting for singers, as if at an actual American Idol TV show.
AeroSmith's Rock n'Roller Coaster
Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith, a high-speed attraction for big kids, teens and adults in Disney's Hollywood Studios, is a roller coaster ride amplified by the driving beat of the special soundtrack recorded by the rock group, Aerosmith.
Twilight Zone Tower of Terror
Picture, if you will, a glittering Hollywood hotel in its heyday. You are the unsuspecting passenger for a 13-story elevator plunge - but beware! Now the experience is totally random every time!
Star Wars Star Tours
Embark an intergalactic simulator for a tumultuous trip through outer space. With an forgetful droid in the cockpit, you're in for warp-speed near-misses, collisions with comets and high-flying excitement - not to mention a mistaken turn into a combat zone, right into the pathway of the Death Star. May the Force be with you!
Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show
High-octane thrills ignite as the world's top stuntmen take center stage in this adrenaline-filled spectacular. Custom vehicles, rocket skis and Hollywood-style pyrotechnic combine with precision stunt choreography to bring this Disneyland® Paris favorite to Walt Disney World® Resort.

Star Wars Weekend at Hollywood Studios
Started back in 1997, Walt Disney World has sponsored a series of special Star Wars Weekends in the Disney's Hollywood Studios theme park. Activities normally include celebrity appearances, as well as trivia contests and prize give-aways, Star Tours "ride-a-thons," and a Star Wars Cantina street party, complete with a live disc jockey.
During Star Wars Weekends, celebrities from all the Star Wars films are on hand for motorcades and star conversations, as well as autograph sessions.
Actors featured over the years include: Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia), Jake Lloyd (young Anakin Skywalker), David Prowse (Darth Vader), Kenny Baker (R2D2), Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca), and Anthony Daniels (C3PO) among others. Lots of costumed characters, from Luke Skywalker and Queen Amidala to Ewoks and Jawas, can also be found milling about the park, with plenty of opportunities for Star Wars fans to meet and greet them.
Star Wars Weekends activities are included with regular Disney's Hollywood Studios admission.
If you plan on attending any of the Star Wars Weekends, be sure to arrive at the park early. Although the official park opening time is 9 a.m., you will be allowed into the park around 8:30. You will not be able to get over to the Star Tours area until the official rope drop at 9, though.
Information Desk for the event is usually located at the entrance to the event area, across from Drew Carey: Sounds Dangerous.
This will be the place to have all your event questions answered and to sign up for different Trivia contests.
If you want a celebrity autograph, you'll need to get a Fastpass as soon as the park opens. The FP for autographs go VERY VERY fast! IF you have a FP you are guaranteed an autograph.
Two commemorative Star Wars Weekends pins (like the one at right) are issued each weekend, plus there is a special event pin.
Many children, and even some adults, dress in Star Wars costumes for the event -- this might be something to consider to add to the fun.
