Ride a classic as you drop through the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror

The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at Disney's Hollywood Studios
As you enter this old, run-down hotel you hear the sound of a scratchy record playing in the distance. A rickety freight elevator takes you up 13 stories. Then in a shocking move, your car begins to glide forward before settling in place. You wait. A few seconds feel like forever. Then you suddenly fall 130 feet down just to be brought back up again just as quickly. The doors open and you can see for miles before being dropped again and again. No two rides are exactly the same. Get tickets to Disney's Hollywood Studios

Rock and Roller Coaster is Hollywood Studio’s more thrilling ride

You'll feel the force of a whopping 4.5 Gs as you fly through the "O" of the famous Hollywood sign. That's more than the astronauts feel in a space shuttle launch! Rock out to classic Aerosmith tunes throughout the ride like "Sweet Emotion" and "Walk This Way" pumping through 125 speakers and 24 sub-woofers on your car.
