Below in our descriptions of the Hollywood Studios rides, we will note the rides that offer Lightning Lane access. Lightning Lane Multi Pass is a paid service that allows you to access shorter lines for the most popular rides. You can see our separate guide to Hollywood Studios Lightning Lane rides for the best strategy for preselecting your Lightning Lanes. There is also one ride at Hollywood Studios that offers Lightning Lane Single Pass, a purchase separate from Lightning Lane Multi Pass that you make for the most in-demand attractions.
In our descriptions below, we will share everything you need to know before your trip, including how you can access each ride, height requirements, who may want to skip certain rides, on-ride videos so you can know what to expect, and more. Before you visit, it's important to learn each ride's height requirements so you can know if you and your party can ride together.
If you cannot, you can take advantage of Rider Switch. 1 person stays with the non-rider while the other responsible party (age 14 and up) and accompanying guests (up to 2) enjoy the attraction. Once finished, they can switch riders in order to experience the same attraction without having to wait again in the queue.
Upcoming Hollywood Studios Rides
The list below will focus on the current Hollywood Studios rides at the park. Hollywood Studios will be getting some major new additions soon, including a Monsters, Inc. land replacing Muppet*Vision 3D and Muppets Courtyard that will feature a door coaster and a new Villains stage show coming to Sunset Showcase.

Best Hollywood Studios Ride Rides
Since opening day, Disney's Hollywood Studios has gone through several major changes – including a big name change. Initially, Disney World's 3rd theme park was developed as both a theme park inspired by show business and a fully operating production studio complete with active film and television production services, an animation facility branch, and a functioning backlot. Over the years, Disney's Hollywood Studios made the transition to a fully operating theme park celebrating the art of movie making but without the production studio. It's made up of 9 different themed areas, many of them themed after different eras of Hollywood and some of them themed after some of our favorite movie franchises.
Let's go over each themed area and their respective rides and attractions in our Hollywood Studios ride guide. We will also cover the best Hollywood Studios rides you can't miss!

Below, we will list the Hollywood Studios attractions by land and share details on what you need to know about each one.
Hollywood Boulevard
The first themed land you step into when entering Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Hollywood Boulevard is lined with stores and restaurants and ends with a stunning replica of the Grauman Chinese Theater. It’s inside the Grauman Chinese Theater where you’ll find Hollywood Boulevard’s only ride:
Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway
Believe it or not, this is Disney’s first-ever ride that features Mickey and Minnie Mouse! It is housed in the replica of the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, replacing the classic Great Movie Ride. This is a great case where you can see the evolution of Hollywood Studios from old Hollywood glamor to the focus on Disney intellectual properties. That is not necessarily a bad thing as the attraction is quite innovative, boasting a trackless dark ride technology that is becoming increasingly popular across Disney parks.
Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway allows you to step through the movie screen and join Mickey and the gang on an incredible experience that blends the 3D human world with the 2D animated world. This trackless ride focuses on the Sensational Six after a picnic goes awry. Guests get to experience immersive scenes focusing on the different characters after their train car becomes disconnected from Goofy’s locomotive.
Before riding, you're invited to watch the premiere of a new Mickey Mouse cartoon about Mickey and Minnie preparing for a picnic outing and encountering Goofy driving a train. With the cartoon setting up the ride perfectly, you then climb aboard a runaway train and go on a whirlwind ride through Mickey’s world where the rules of physics don’t apply. This family-friendly ride is full of dazzling visual effects and surprising twists and turns. Oh, and prepare your ears for the catchy theme song! This trackless dark ride is fun for the entire family!
Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway ranks as one of the best Hollywood Studios rides for its fun-filled nature, ride ingenuity, and popularity. It should not be missed. If you're curious if your children will like this ride, we've got a full review here! Even the youngest riders don’t have to fully understand what is going on to enjoy the ride.
Skip If: You don’t do well with 3D shows
Access: Lightning Lane Multi Pass
Height Requirements: Any Height
On-Ride Video: via YouTube
Tip: There are a lot of Easter eggs and Hidden Mickeys on this ride! See if you can spot the numbers 1901 and 1928 during the ride, which correspond to the birth years of Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse, respectively. Also look for a poster titled “The Great Moving Ride,” a nod to The Great Movie Ride which used to be housed in the same location!
Sunset Boulevard
Sunset Boulevard evokes the feel of 1940s Hollywood and is the first right as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard. There are 2 iconic rides at the end of Hollywood Boulevard:
Rock ‘N Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith
No day at Disney's Hollywood Studios is complete without visiting Rock ‘N' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith, one of the most popular rides at Disney Hollywood Studios. On this ride, you get to take a ride on the wild side while jamming along to some of Aerosmith's greatest hits. This indoor roller coaster launches you into the dark, loud world of rock music as you board a super-stretch “limo” and help the legendary band, Aerosmith, make it to a concert on time.
Before entering the queue, you come face-to-face with a larger-than-life guitar with a looping fretboard that foreshadows your crazy limo-ride experience. Then, during the pre-show, you encounter the band Aerosmith themselves as they're about to make their way across Los Angeles to their next concert – and you're taking a speeding limo to join them!
The ride whips you, turns you, and is the only Roller Coaster on property that actually goes upside down (twice!). On the ride, you'll loop, corkscrew, and speed up to 60 miles-per-hour – in the dark. Much wilder than Space Mountain or Test Track, Rock ‘N' Roller Coaster is perfect for the thrill-seekers in your party. Add in the fact that Aerosmith tracks are playing in the speakers by your ears and you have the perfect thrill ride for an adrenaline junkie. Full of loops, corkscrews, drops, and a high-speed launch, you'll surely be screaming along to the rockin' tunes. Rock ‘N' Roller Coaster is one of my all-time favorite thrill rides at Disney World.
This ride at Hollywood Studios typically has a long wait, and it is no wonder with the amount of thrill and excitement guest experience. If you don’t mind not riding with your party, there is a single rider option to make the wait time a little less if this is a must do ride for you (and we think it should be!).
Note that this ride will be rethemed from Aerosmith into a Muppets coaster in the future. We anticipate that the ride itself will not be changing but that the theming, pre-show, and music will be the focus of this change. You can read more about the Rock ‘n' Roller Coaster retheme to the Muppets.
Skip If: You're prone to motion sickness or intimidated by a roller coaster in the dark
Access: Single Rider, Lightning Lane Multi Pass, Rider Switch
Height Requirements: Guests must be at least 48″ (122cm)
On-Ride Video: via YouTube
Tip: During the countdown to the ride launch, make sure to keep your head back on the headrest. The last thing you want is to walk away from the ride with a neck issue!
Twilight Zone Tower of Terror
If you’re at the end of Sunset Boulevard to ride Rock ‘N Roller Coaster, you also have to ride the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror! The ride is rather iconic and the building itself is a major landmark within the park.
Twilight Zone Tower of Terror is an accelerated drop tower dark ride. During the ride, you will experience sudden drops and quick lifts as the elevator is pulled up and down through a dark elevator shaft. Based on the classic Rod Serling television series, this classic Disney World attraction takes you to the 5th dimension.
The pre-show is an enticing and exciting part of the ride. The theming of the seemingly deserted hotel and when entering the lobby, all you see is dust and cobwebs. So the story goes, on a gloomy Halloween night in 1939, several patrons at the Hollywood Tower Hotel were riding the elevator when a violent storm struck the building and were never seen again. After learning about these patrons' fateful evening during the ride pre-show, you enter the seemingly normal-but-rickety looking elevator-style lift. Quickly realizing how far from ordinary your elevator lift is, you quickly enter the 5th dimension and then are propelled up and down the abandoned elevator shaft. “Will you make it back to the real world… or will you become a permanent resident of the Twilight Zone?”
Over in California, at Disney California Adventure Park, the ride has been re-themed to Guardians of the Galaxy, but the classic version here in Hollywood Studios is definitely a favorite. The ride ranks high on this list due to its thrilling nature and iconic status. However, it may be a little too intense for young children and can post high wait times.
The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror is a heart-racing ride for those brave enough, and that is a good number of people. Because this thrill ride is so popular among Disney World guests, expect wait times to be high!
Skip If: You're prone to motion sickness or intimidated drop-tower style rides
Access: Lightning Lane Multi Pass, Rider Switch
Height Requirements: Guests must be at least 40″ (102cm)
On-Ride Video: via YouTube
Tip: When the queue splits and you find yourself entering the pre-show room on the left side, see if you can find a Mickey Mouse Easter Egg in the bookshelf. It's a piece of sheet music entitled “What! No Mickey Mouse?” There are also a few Hidden Mickeys throughout the queue!
Toy Story Land
Toy Story Land is literally my childhood in a theme park and features some of the most popular rides in our Hollywood Studios ride guide. Based on the classic Pixar animated film, Toy Story Land shrinks you to the size of a toy as you explore Andy’s backyard! Toy Story Land features 3 fun (and busy) rides:
Toy Story Mania
This ride is perfect for those who love to compete. Reminiscent of boardwalk midway games, Toy Story Mania combines fun elements of the popular Toy Story franchise with friendly competition, making it a perfect ride for families. This interactive shooting gallery ride takes you on a 4D adventure with your favorite Pixar characters. The attraction has you ride along with Woody, Buzz, and friends as you shoot at targets in a midway carnival-style game.
Before even boarding the ride vehicle, the standby queue for Toy Story Mania gives you an incredible tour of Andy’s toy chest full of classic games. Even if you're not a big Toy Story fan, you might just recognize some classic games like Candy Land, Lincoln Logs, and Chutes and Ladders. You'll even run into Mr. Potato Head!
After boarding the carnival-inspired tram with our 3D glasses, you get to test your skills using a spring-action shooter to take down an array of moving targets. With 5 fast-paced games, you and your party are sure to have a great time. It’s a real blast to rack up as many points as you can and try to beat your ride partner’s score. May the best toy win!
The competitive gameplay and Toy Story theming make it fun for all ages and make it a ride you will want to enjoy again and again. This is a ride I never get tired of and one I would ride multiple times in a visit just to try to get a better score. If this ride is high on your priority list, make sure to get in line early, as it often gets high wait times during the day.
Skip If: You're prone to motion sickness, especially with 4D games
Access: Lightning Lane Multi Pass
Height Requirements: Any Height
On-Ride Video: via YouTube
Tip: If you’re looking for maximum points, there’s a few strategies you can implement at each of the 5 games. Patterns are key!
- Hamm and Eggs: Hit the fox to unlock the chickens, which are higher point targets. Rinse and repeat.
- Dino Darts: Hit the lava flow balloons to unlock the balloons, which are higher point targets. Also look for comets in the background, which are higher point targets.
- Shoot Camp: Hit the high point plates being tossed around in the background, which unlock a tank that shoots out more high point plates. This game works best with two working together.
- Flying Tossers: Ring all the aliens across the board before they regenerate to unlock a monster alien, which are higher point targets. This one also works better with two working together.
- Shootin' Gallery: Hit the higher point bulls-eyes and higher point mine carts. Also hit the bat hanging overhead that regenerates for higher points.
Slinky Dog Dash
Slinky Dog Dash is a family-friendly coaster that twists and turns through Andy’s oversized backyard. The ride zips through Andy’s backyard as you pass by oversized toys that make you feel as though you yourself have shrunk down to the size of a toy. The ride has smooth, gentle thrills that make it very doable for kids but still exciting enough for adults to find enjoyment.
This is one of the most popular attractions in our Hollywood Studios rides guide. With its elevated coaster track, exposed to look much taller than it truly is, Slinky Dog Dash looks like it's going to be an intense experience. Don't worry though – it's a gentle ride that the entire family can enjoy. With mild turns, dips, and hills, this ride gives you a sense of adventure and excitement without feeling too intense.
While in the standby queue, you learn about the backstory behind this ride: Andy put his Dash and Dive playset coaster and cars inside Slinky. Because of this, Slinky Dog’s spring coils stretch to the limit as you zoom around curves and up and down hills! If you’re up for a little extra thrill, make sure to sit at the back for some wonderful views of Toy Story Land. Slink Dog Dash is even more special at night with all its bright lights!
This coaster is great for kids who want to experience the adrenaline rush but who may still be nervous about big coasters. With the coaster being entirely outside, kids and all members of your party have no surprises as to what is coming! Given its popularity, this ride will post high wait times.
Skip If: You're not a big fan of roller coasters
Access: Lightning Lane Multi Pass, Rider Switch
Height Requirements: Guests must be at least 38″ (97cm)
On-Ride Video: via YouTube
Tip: Try to find the Hidden Mickey in the loading area of the ride, on one of Andy's drawings taped to the cardboard box. The picture shows Slinky Dog Dash as well as a hidden Mickey! Also look out for plenty of Pixar Easter eggs in the ride queue, including a UPC barcode with the founding date for Pixar Animation Studios and the opening date for Magic Kingdom as well as Buster's dog tag as the “wait time” sign!
Alien Swirling Saucers
Who doesn’t love the little green aliens from Toy Story? Featuring the cutest extraterrestrials in the galaxy, this Hollywood Studios ride has the little green aliens taking you on an interstellar romp through space. On the ride queue, you're walking among the weeds and grass of Andy's backyard as you approach the Aliens playset that Andy won at Pizza Planet. When loading into the ride vehicle, you choose the saucer you want to ride in. Similar to Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree at Disney California Adventure, Alien Swirling Saucers is a fun spinning ride with futuristic tunes to set the mood. This is a great slower-paced ride that everyone can enjoy. Make sure to ride early though, since it gets busy quickly!
Skip If: You dislike spinning rides or are prone to motion sickness
Access: Lightning Lane Multi Pass, Rider Switch
Height Requirements: Guests must be at least 32″ (81cm)
On-Ride Video: via YouTube
Tip: It's important to know that the queue is entirely outside, which can get very hot on warmer Florida days.
Grand Avenue
Home to your favorite Muppets characters, Grand Avenue has one iconic attraction:
Muppet*Vision 3D
Muppet*Vision 3D is full of nostalgia, corny jokes, and lots of Miss Piggy making it one of our favorites on this Hollywood Studios ride guide. This hilarious mix of film and live-action show is housed in a perfect replica of the Muppet Theater from the classic television series, The Muppet Show.
As you first walk into the queue, make sure to check out the movie posters on the wall that pay homage to many of the great films of recent times, but with a Muppet twist. Before entering the theater, you'll watch a pre-show hosted by Scooter, full of mishaps, corny jokes, and laughs. Then comes the main show Statler and Waldorf occasionally interrupting with their cranky comments. With your 3D glasses on, Kermit, Miss Piggy, and the Muppets gang take you on a zany tour of their lab showing off their new movie-making invention: Muppet*Vision 3D.
Full of musical numbers, in-theater special effects, and classic Jim Henson humor, this show is guaranteed to bring down the house. Whether or not you’re looking for a classic Disney World attraction or an indoor space to cool off from the Florida heat, Mupet*Vision 3D is a must-see!
Note that this Muppets experience will be closing to make way for the new Monsters, Inc. land coming to Hollywood Studios. While the show will be going away, Disney has said that they are having “creative conversations and exploring ways to preserve the film and other parts of the experience for fans to enjoy in the future.”
Skip If: You don’t do well with 3D shows
Access: Lightning Lane Multi Pass
Height Requirements: Any Height
On-Ride Video: via YouTube
Tip: You generally don't have to worry about long wait times for this attraction. It runs every 15 minutes or so and there's almost always plenty of seats available for you and your party.
Echo Lake
Paying homage to its real-life 1950’s-era counterpart in California, Echo Lake is Disney’s Hollywood Studios’ small oval lagoon. Around Echo Lake is one ride that’s a Star Wars fan favorite.
Star Tours – The Adventure Continues
The original Star Wars themed ride at Disney World, Star Tours – The Adventure Continues brings you on a thrilling 3D space flight to legendary Star Wars destinations. Star Tours opened almost two decades before the opening of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and is technically not included in the land itself, but it is close in proximity. The ride is also a motion simulator, similar to Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, however, there is no interactive nature to this one. The experience is enhanced by 3D glasses and special effects that make riders feel like they are really in the action.
The ride queue closely resembles an airport, but with destinations that are out of this galaxy. Full of security scans, luggage screenings, and planetary weather forecasts, there are a lot of details to notice. Before boarding, there will be a short pre-show video along with safety instructions.
Guests board a Starspeeder 1000 for a tour of the galaxy. The ride is intended to be a sight-seeing flight but quickly transforms into a thrill ride as the ship is required to protect a rebel spy (one of the actual passengers on your flight) from the Galactic Empire. After a series of mishaps, protocol droid C-3PO takes the controls. This ride features several different Star Wars destinations, so you never know what kind of trip you'll experience. The most recent iteration of this ride even puts you face-to-face with Ahsoka Tano, The Mandalorian, and baby Grogu! Whatever you do, don’t forget to look up at the towering AT-ATs and the Ewok village before entering the show building!
The ride vehicle is rough! For the most thrill, the back and sides of the 40 person ride vehicle are recommended. The less motion and calmest ride is typically in the middle of the vehicle.
Skip If: You’re prone to motion sickness or don’t do well with 3D shows
Access: Lightning Lane Multi Pass, Rider Switch
Height Requirements: Guests must be at least 40″ (102cm)
On-Ride Video: via YouTube
Tip: With several different possible Star Wars destinations, there are over 50 possible combinations of ride experiences, making the re-rideability factor off the charts! Don't worry though – generally, wait times for Star Tours – The Adventure Continues tend to be under 20 minutes.
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is 14 acres of breathtaking land that fully immerse you in the Star Wars universe and is one of the newest areas in this Hollywood Studios ride guide, This land, which is at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland Park, consists of several restaurants, stores, and 2 incredible rides:
Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run
Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run is arguably the most expensive video game you’ll ever see in our Hollywood Studios ride guide! This interactive Hollywood Studios ride puts you in control of the well-known Millennium Falcon spaceship, in a motion simulator, as you pilot it through a dangerous mission to deliver smuggled goods.
The queue for this ride is both long and filled to the brim with Star Wars details. With first-hand looks at the backside of the Millennium Falcon, a mechanic shop, and an engine room, you could spend endless amounts of time looking for the details on this ride. And with its popularity, be prepared to wait a while!
The pre-show has you meeting Hondo Ohnaka, the pirate behind your job. Your mission: steal and deliver precious cargo from First Order TIE fighters. As guests load into The Falcon, they are immediately immersed in the story. Each guest is required to complete a certain task in the cockpit of the ship, with two each assuming roles as either a pilot, gunner, or engineer. The Pilot role is the most interactive as you get to control the flight path of the spaceship. The other two roles more-or-less push buttons at the right time.
You'll lift, jolt, avoid obstacles, and blast off at lightspeed – all with Hondo's assistance over the radio. How successful your mission goes is completely up to your team of pilots, gunners, and engineers! Whatever you do, make sure to take a photo in front of a life-sized version of Han Solo’s classic ship!
The ride is a fun immersive experience if you are paired with the right people! Overall, thrill seekers will enjoy this ride at Hollywood Studios for the theming and immersiveness it provides in its one of a kind experience. The ride's interactivity and special effects make it a must-do for Star Wars fans.

Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is Disney’s most technologically advanced ride to date and one of the most popular items on our Hollywood Studios ride guide. This groundbreaking attraction takes you to a galaxy far, far away, as you join the Resistance in a battle against the First Order. The ride features state-of-the-art technology, multiple ride systems, and three mini pre-shows that set the stage for the main event. All of the above make for one of the most advanced and immersive rides ever created! It ranks as the best Hollywood Studio ride on this list for its engineering feats and storytelling depth, in addition to its popularity and high demand.
After a long queue that enters the trenches a Resistance base, you enter the first pre-show, where you're briefed on a mission by Rey, BB-8, and Poe Dameron. You then enter your transport ship that's supposed to take you to General Organa's secret base on Pacara. However, the First Order has other plans as they take your entire ship captive onto their Star Destroyer. Just as you're getting interrogated by Kylo Ren, Resistance fighters break you out, but the ride has only just begun! From this walk-through sequence, guests are transported on a trackless ride vehicle through the main part of the attraction.
On this ride, you get to experience an unforgettable battle against the First Order. Full of action, fighting, and a face-to-face experience with Kylo Ren, you’re sure to be fully immersed in the Star Wars world! Even if you don’t love Star Wars, the ride itself has amazing technology and immersive experiences for all guests to enjoy.
