Best Rides and Attractions at Disney-MGM Studios

The Disney-MGM Studios theme park in Orlando, Florida, offers just the right combination of thrilling rides and spectacular attractions and shows. If you love music, movies and television, Disney-MGM Studios is a must-visit next time you are in Central Florida. From rockin' roller coasters to death-defying free-falls to breathtaking stunt shows, Disney-MGM Studios truly offers something for everyone. Here is a guide to the best rides and attractions at Disney-MGM Studios from a true Walt Disney World connoisseur.

When you first arrive at the theme park, you might want to exercise that Fast Pass right away. Head over to Disney-MGM Studios' two exciting thrill rides, which are located right next to one another off of Sunset Boulevard. The first is Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith. You will board a stretch limo (this vehicle gives new meaning to the term), and shoot around an indoor track while jamming to the sounds of one of America's most famous and enduring rock and roll bands - Aerosmith, of course. The entire ride is wild and enhanced by the fact that it takes place in the pitch dark. The wait at this ride is often an hour or more, so be sure to use your fast pass, or bring along an iPod filled with Aerosmith tunes to pass the time.

Next door is the terrifying Hollywood Hills Hotel, otherwise known as The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. This is more than just a horrifying free-fall. You will randomly drop thirteen full stories, mostly in the dark. Meanwhile, you will have to contend with ghosts of past residents, and the blood-curdling screams of your fellow guests. This is another Disney-MGM Studios ride that is a favorite among visitors to the park, so be sure to Fast Pass it early and often, or else prepare to wait. But try not to wait too long; you just might lose your nerve.
