Premiere at the Hollywood Studios

My next stop was the Disney Hollywood Studios which offers everything for a movie buff like me... lots of movie sets which allows you wandering through New York and San Fransisco at the same time. An interesting illusion which only from up close lets you see the fake buildings and street paintings.


Also very enjoyable are the different stunt shows they have over there. Like the car chase scene which would be quite impressive to see at the movies but live up close... astonishing. Also interesting is that for this short sequence they have already 3 different versions of the same car customized to perform the different stunts. And all cars are Opels made in Germany! I have to try those stunts with my own Opel Corsa back home now ;-)

But these were not the only things to do over there. Of course they had plenty of fun rides too... again heavily themed. Like the Star Tour ride which takes you into a Star Wars set... including an AT-AT walker, Tatooine and Endor set. Oh man... I would have loved that as a kid that's for sure.

Okay... you got me there... I still enjoyed it ;-)




My favorite ride though was the Tower of Terror which basically is a hunted elevator of this Hollywood hotel with a life on its own. Disney also themed this ride around a 'Twilight Zone' episode. Brilliant! I took at least 5 times this ride :-P

And I made it back... out of... THE TWILIGHT ZONE
