- čas přidán 18. 11. 2023
- Hollywood Studios has thrilled visitors for over 30 years with its incredible rides and experiences, and continues to step up their game with new, immersive additions that keep people coming back for me. For that reason, it is one of the most popular theme parks in the world, and arguably has the best attraction line up at the entire Walt Disney World resort. However that does not mean this park is without its flaws- join us as we look at the pros and cons of Disney's movie theme park!

Slight correction, Rock n Roller Coaster technically has 5 song settings, not 6. Although usually they don’t use Back in the Saddle so it actually ends up being more like 4!
I know for a fact back in the saddle is most likely never coming back as it’s been pulled from the limos indefinitely
I am also the person who holds the most rides on rnrc at over 1700
beard oil
@@rockncoop665 I once got it back in 2018, I'm gonna miss it if it never comes back, my 2 other favorite limos are Sweet Emotion & Nine Lives
I lived there for 17 years and I've only gotten it a few times.
How come?
Rope dropping Hollywood Studios is wild because you basically have to gamble on which of the big rides will actually be open and it's often only one of them and if you didn't pick right, you just lost your entire advantage to coming in at opening
I'd argue this isn't really one you'd want to rope drop, especially if you're going to Galaxy's Edge as many of the attractions there are reservation-based. Your best bet is to go during the off-season.
They’re usually open, it’s just it depends on which day they’re the busiest. On some days when I worked at tower it’d be packed at tower but slow at slinky or vice versa
If you go at rope drop marathon tower of terror star wars is always the first go to and towards the end of the day it gets dead and you don't have to wait more than 30 minutes. This pattern repeated day after day.
@@seanl8930 this is the way.....unless Tower is down at opening. And then there's only 1 shaft working when it opens and the line is long AF for the rest of the day🙃🙃
@@VestedUTuber What are you talking about? Neither of their two rides are reservation based
I've been going to Hollywood Studios every year since 2010, and it really changed a lot. I remember that my family used to buy a hopper to go to HS and then finish the night at Epcot, and it was possible to ride every major ride at both parks!
Totally agree with you about the theming being not too much consistent, that is exactly why, imo, Animal Kingdom is the best WDW park. Most consistent themeing, good rides (even though there arent a lot), and just a beautiful great park to walk around
I love the Racing Academy program and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. My siblings and I quote it all the time, and Kachunk! is just part of our normal vocabulary. I think it's actually very well done, but I've never sat there and thought "Is it over?"
Leave Muppet Vision out of it. That was the last film Jim Henson worked on and it should remain untouched
I would love to see them give the Muppets some love. They could bring life to that area so easily and cheaply. Keep Muppet Vision 3D as is. They just did a refresh including new seats and new projecton mapping, so the show is in good shape. Open that huge store again and pack it with Muppet Merch. Turn Mama MelRose's into a Swedish Chef Character Dining Location. Add some walk around characters that play freely in the area - they should still have all of the costumes in storage somewhere. And mostly, they should claim the Star Tours simulator as part of Muppet Courtyard. Turn it into "Pigs in Space" or "The Electric Mayhem's Wild Adventure".It sits right behind Pizza Rizzo and they could easily move the entrace to the other side of the building - like they did with the entrance of Toy Story Mania. And have a "Muppet's Festival of Dancing Lights" at Christmas - it would be fun seeing a light show to Miss Piggy singing Santa Baby. They could do so much so easily to fix that forgotten part of the park. They own the Muppets - they need to use them!
Muppet Vision might be the best attraction at the park
agreed, muppet vision is a first class level ride
I would like them to update muppet vision 3D with new visuals and build the abandoned Muppet movie ride. I think that would work really well. It's definitely the wrong idea to remove Muppet vision 3D because it's the last thing Jim Henson ever worked on before he died

As someone who grew up with the Muppets - I feel it's time to retire the IP in favor of something new.
@@PurposeTravel you're in the minority
honestly its my favorite of the disney parks. tower of terror + rock n' roller coaster is more than enough to make me happy, and for a thrillseeker, is the best lineup top 2 among the orlando disney parks!
Same.
It's a great one two thrill punch for disney. This was 90's eisner who was more risk taking.
I agree with Zootopia, the cityscape fits so well into the urban style of the park
I find it amazing that in all of your videos you use your own footage! That is really impressive.
that's always our goal!
I never thought of it till now, but man, I NEED Radiator Springs here now
This might be the longest park review I've seen from Coaster Studios. But I'm not complaining. That means extra quality content for us to view! Well done!
This is by far the best of the 4 Florida Disney Parks in my opinion. It's more about thrill rides than the other Disney parks and they are top quality theming.
One eatery you didn’t mention is the 50’s Prime Time Cafe. The “kitchen” that we ate in last time we were there reminded me of my grandmother’s kitchen, and you have your waitress yelling at you get your elbows off the table! My kids loved it!
When my kids asked why Star Tours was separate from Galaxy's Edge, I told them Star Tours is their location on Earth, and Galaxy's Edge is the planet Batuu. It's like how you get on Cosmic Rewind at Xandar's outpost on Earth, and get beamed up to their space station to start the ride.
It's a shame that galaxy's edge is more focused on the sequel trilogy
Are you planning to review all these Orlando parks in depth? I always love getting to see updated vids on anything Orlando because there’s always so much new stuff coming and going
Magic Kingdom is definitely on the radar for soon(ish). There will be an Epcot one out once all the construction in World Celebration is completed. At some point SeaWorld Orlando will definitely need an updated review, they’ve changed so much since I first visited.
@@CoasterStudios thanks for the info! Yes I remember watching your previous reviews of these parks but so much is new! I can’t keep up sometimes haha
Honestly, best coaster studios video.
The ronto wrap is INCREDIBLE
Disney has a history of making overly-elaborate dark rides; the animatronics work great initially, then later on, they turn to stationary statues (i.e. the Disco Yeti)
I’ve been following this channel for so long, how is he not at 1 million
IMO the park has too many e-ticket style rides, with not enough filler. The balance is way off, hence why most rides have crazy long lines. I don't know if adding new areas would help with that problem, unless they only added smaller rides, but then what's the point in doing that?! 🤷♀️😆
It's like they need to add some smaller rides to the current areas.
Oh and for me Star Tours is a must ride over Smugglers Run. SR is great for the theming, but I never bother to ride it more than once, even when it's walk on. ST for me is absolutely fantastic!
These are great points! I definitely agree that whatever they add next needs to have more “filler” rides. That definitely would help spread out crowds.
I would love to see them give the Muppets some love. They could bring life to that area so easily and cheaply. Keep Muppet Vision 3D as is. They just did a refresh including new seats and new projecton mapping, so the show is in good shape. Open that huge store again and pack it with Muppet Merch.

They could do so much so easily to fix that forgotten part of the park. They own the Muppets - they need to use them!
Out of all the parks, Hollywood Studios probably struggles with capacity issues the most. Almost every ride there is an E-Ticket and small yet still quality attractions are almost non-existent, thus there’s nothing to eat up the crowds
I’d love a cars themed area here. On my one visit I thought the cars show was ass so it would be cool to see a radiator springs area
I went there so often as a kid that I have always checked out things I knew would be a waste of time. I love the racing academy show, and I wouldn't recommend it to anybody. My siblings and I frequently quote it, Kachunk! is just part of our normal vocabulary. I think it's actually done really well, but I never sat there thinking "is it over yet?" because for me it was something silly to do when I needed to waste time.
I haven't seen the current version of the Playhouse Disney/Disney Jr. show, but it used to be a really cool puppet show called Playhouse Disney Live, hosted by Bear from Bear in the Big Blue House. The stage transformed into different locations for other shows from Playhouse Disney.
Perfect timing! I just found out I was going here yesterday
ive been to disneyworld multiple times and i love all the parks,each of them has their own experiences and attractions that make the different from eachother,i think magic kingdom is my favorite though i love the seven dwarves train,tron was really fun too but i only rode it once
Thank you so much for all the helpful tips throughout the video Taylor! Really looking forward to coming to the Walt Disney World resort next year in February for the first time! Could you do one for Epcot, Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom as well?
There’s one for Animal Kingdom already on the channel I did back in 2018- it’s a little outdated but more or less gets the idea across. Magic Kingdom is definitely on the radar for soon-ish. Epcot won’t happen until all the big construction up front is complete. -Taylor
Honestly can’t see the love for Toy Story land. There is theming but I don’t really find it inspiring by any means and feels like a half assed attempt on an immersive land in my opinion.
My birthday is tomorrow, Taylor! It's almost here! And also, I'm Connor Clouse.
Hollywood studios is by far my least favorite park at disney world. Don't get me wrong, stuff like fantasmic or the hollywood tower of terror are amazing, but the lines are so so so so so long its not even worth it. This is definitely most evident in toy story land and star wars land, with toy story land having like 30-40 minute waits for a flat ride w a 2 minute cycle (aliens flying saucers.) Disney has consistently been replacing old rides at this park which means: if you have nostalgia for it, that's gone, the park capacity is horrible, and everyone wants to go to the park because it's all new stuff. Add all this with the lack of shade and generally pretty boring queues, i would only go here if you have parkhopper tickets and i would only go on the old rides (muppets, tower, rock n roll, star tours) so you're not waiting in hot sweaty lines all day.
I still remember when I visited Disney World in the early 2000s, and Hollywood Studios was considered the bad Disney Park.
I think you’d like 50s Prime Time Diner. The theme is you’ve traveled beck into the 1950s and you’re in Mom’s kitchen. The wait staff is all your “cousins”. The food is good and the ambiance is great. Plus there’s a lounge next door where you can raid Dad’s liquor cabinet.
Really looking forward to my first visit to the Walt Disney World Resort next February! Are you shocked that Futurama, Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom are producing one as well?
I went here for my first time this year in April and I was with my school so we only had half a day. Basically all we did was the Star Wars stuff and we had time for nothing else but I see that this is a great park and I’d love to return.
Disney will keep the muppet area because they keep renovating muppetvision 3D, and I have some ideas on how to improve the area:
Add a gravity group style family wooden coaster like Oscar’s wacky taxi and theme it to gonzo the great. They could use titan track if the Florida heat is too much.
Heck, an rmc family coaster or wild moose would fit, but Disney and rmc partnering up is a pipe dream.
Use the parking lot behind the park for room for the coaster. Add a parking garage if needed.
Use the old star tours building for the muppets great movie ride, which was supposed to be a great movie ride parody, but was scrapped in the 90s.
Add a Swedish chef restaraunt that serves Swedish meatballs. It would be a money printer.
Add a live or animatronic muppet show. It could be like an episode of the muppet show, just not prerecorded.
Honestly I’m biased because I love the muppet area lol.
I'm still calling it MGM. It's not even intentional, I just can't do it. I remember when they put up the hat everyone thought it was going to come down sooner than it did. Many locals thought it was an eyesore that disrupted the originally intended view. It's nice to see it gone, but I always wanted to climb the spirals and now I never will.
When I went back in 2018 there was literally only 4 rides open and only ToT and Rock'n were good. Honestly, my favorite park was Epcot. The food and wine festival was going on and it was great! Cheap food and drink in small portions for a reasonable price. Second best was Animal Kingdom. Flight of Passage and Everest were on point.
Have to disagree that this park has gotten better in terms of theming. You said that in its beginning it was a park that was figuring out its identity and what it was to become. I feel like that’s its problem now: it doesn’t know what its identity is. It’s got the Hollywood theming for most of the park, but also Star Wars and Toy Story lands thrown in for some reason. As you alluded, California Adventure suffers the same identity crisis, and I fear that Epcot is heading in that direction too.
Big agree. The park went from cohesive but thin on rides to a mess but with a bunch of rides, just like California Adventure. And they could've easily had both if they put in the work. Really disappointing because having their parks be cohesive experiences is one of the main differentiating factors between Disney and every other park chain. Without that it's just whatever.
I guess the thinking is that Toy Story and Star Wars are movie franchises which somewhat ties into the “Studios” theme, but it is disjointed from the rest of the park.
@@JakeTerch I somewhat get that, but the whole theming, at least of Galaxy's Edge, is not that you are in the *movie* but rather you are actually in the world of another planet. Same with Toy Story Land...you are transported into Andy's backyard. I could get behind the idea the theme is based on being transported into movies if they would apply that theme to the rest of the park...although I would hate to see that happen!
I’ve been to hollywood studios twice, me and my dad are both huge star wars fans, and we had no idea launch bay existed! 😂
One of the most interesting things about Hollywood Studios is that Michael Eisner stole the studio tour idea from the group that pitched and had started building Universal Studios with the idea. Disney/MGM tried to kill Universal with their own idea before they could open. But no one liked MGM’s studio tour, and it quickly died and gave way to this weirdly arranged and somewhat poorly planned park.
Can't wait to finally go on rise of the resistance next year! I'm coming all the way from Belgium and been wanting to go to orlando since I was 6
I finally got to visit the Sci-Fi restaurant on my trip back in September and not only is the atmosphere really fun, I thought the food was pretty good too. Its not anything super fancy food wise but it was tasty (the milkshake was AMAZING) and I had an awesome time there. The service was very good too! You guys should try it out on your next visit but make sure you get a reservation early because that one does fill up pretty fast (I worked with a travel agent for my trip and she was able to get me a lunch reservation). I agree with some of your points here but I've been to HS several times over the last few years and I've always had fun there. I really enjoy Toy Story Land and think Slinky is a cute little coaster (I love the Swirling Saucers and Toy Story Mania) but I don't usually spend a lot of time in the Star Wars area as I'm not a big fan. I have ridden both Smuggler's Run and ROTR and while fun, I don't really need to ride either of them more than once on a trip (I didn't even ride Smugglers on my last trip and I actually got lucky and caught ROTR when it only had about a 20 minute standby wait!). I would rather the park keep more options available for those of us who aren't big SW fans than for them to make that land even bigger or have it take over another area like the Muppets area. I also visited the One Man's Dream exhibit on my last trip and thought that was SUPER cool and fascinating (wish I could have seen the movie that went along with it but I didn't have time). I don't know...I enjoy HS and have had fun every time I've gone there so I'm fine with them not changing things too much for right now. It does get super hot in that park though so I make sure I have my wetting cloth thing with me so I have a way to cool off if I happen to be there in the afternoon (I tend to rope drop this park and then leave before it gets too hot). =)
Great Movie Ride > Run Away Railway…not even close
We went back in 2018 about a month before you story opened up and a year before Star Wars. It was a cool park but didn’t get to ride anything apart from Toy Story ride which was opened before the land if you didn’t know.
This is the Disney park that my family would definitely like to come back to one day
Hollywood Studios is my favorite Disney World park due to great rides like Rise Of The Resistance Tower Of Terror and Rocknrollercoaster.
Hollywood Studios is my favorite park at WDW resort. I got lucky this summer. We hit a soft spot and the wait for Rise was 15-20 minutes.
Are you going to do more reviews on the other 3 parks? I’m planning a trip right now for June and I’m curious what you have to say about the other parks! I know you have the one on animals kingdom but that was 5 years ago, I’m not sure if there is new stuff, but I love this video and would love to see more reviews on the other parks!
I definitely think the two areas you said are in need of improvement. But, I think the Muppets court yard area is here to stay with the recent replacements of the chairs. But the entire Star Wars Bay Area definitely needs an update. If you add half of the back stage are between the Launch Bay and Rock’n’Rollercoaster, you have an area about 80% of the size of Toy Story. So that entire area could have a very nice area that I think could house the premier stage show for the park and a ride. So I definitely see that area in the cross hairs of the next IP infusion of the area. Any IP could work and I could see it having an East coast “Pixar Pier” area so any other Pixar characters could have a dedicated location for meet and greets. But I do see Hollywood Studios getting a new land in the next decade.
I would love to see them give the Muppets some love. They could bring life to that area so easily and cheaply. Keep Muppet Vision 3D as is. They just did a refresh including new seats and new projecton mapping, so the show is in good shape. Open that huge store again and pack it with Muppet Merch. Turn Mama MelRose's into a Swedish Chef Character Dining Location. Add some walk around characters that play freely in the area - they should still have all of the costumes in storage somewhere. And mostly, they should claim the Star Tours simulator as part of Muppet Courtyard. Turn it into "Pigs in Space" or "The Electric Mayhem's Wild Adventure".It sits right behind Pizza Rizzo and they could easily move the entrace to the other side of the building - like they did with the entrance of Toy Story Mania. And have a "Muppet's Festival of Dancing Lights" at Christmas - it would be fun seeing a light show to Miss Piggy singing Santa Baby. They could do so much so easily to fix that forgotten part of the park. They own the Muppets - they need to use them!
I LOVE this park. It's my favourite in Florida, for sure.
when I was there in 2019, I rode Tower of Terror, Rock'n Roller Coaster, Millenium Falcon and saw the Indiana Jones show. Theming is amazing of course, highly immersive but then I was like "Wait thats it? Those are all the interesting rides? (rise of the resistance was finished yet). For a guy who usually just interested in the thrills and coasters, its a bit of a letdown. Also for late summer on a weekday it was terribly crowded and everything was at least 50min. I liked the star wars area (main reason to even visit it) and tower of terror blew me away, but sadly thats it for me. Slinky Dog's line was crazy (over 80min) in full sun, for a family coaster I thought the long wait wasnt worth it.
The car cinema restaurant look dope, too bad I missed it
Rock N Roller Coaster was my first launch looping coaster I was very little like 6
What about One Man’s Dream?! The most underrated attraction at Disney that reminds you of who Walt really was.
We live in a society where people complain about a theme park having too many trackless dark rides
Haven’t been here in a long time not sure when I want to go back
I’m sorry, but Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway is in no way shape or form worthy of replacing the iconic Great Movie Ride which truly embodies what Hollywood Studios was originally meant to be(a park for the movies). That ride was badass and featured a ton of cool scenes from all time Hollywood classics that blow the doors off of any pointless crap on Runaway Railway.
It opened as Disney-MGM Studios, not just MGM Studios. And, man, was it garbage! Michael Eisner stole the original plans for Universal Studios Florida hoping that building all the attractions Universal was going to build - tram ride, sound effects show, stunt show, etc - would kill the new competitor. It almost did because Universal had to scrap most of their plans and fast-track new rides. But it almost killed Disney as well because the park literally opened with only two attractions - The Great Movie Ride and the tram thing. (I went for the first time two years later WHEN THEY HAD SEVEN ATTRACTIONS!!!) Because of the Tower of Terror, Sci Fi Dine-In Restaurant and Prime-Time Cafe, I've always had a soft spot in my black little heart for this place... and a really big black hole just knowing how little effort Disney has put into this park since 1989. It's going on 25 years and it's STILL not a full park (unless standing in line is how you want to spend half your day).
While I agree with the comments on Sunset Blvd and Animation Courtyard and the general ride lineup, I need to STRONGLY disagree with the thumbs-up given Toy Story Land and Galaxy's Edge. All I see when I look at them are budget cuts. Both were meant to be far more elaborate and I notice that everywhere I look. The theming in TSL reminds me so much of It's A Bug's Land in DCA, but probably worse. Yes, it's better than Paris's version, but that doesn't make it good. It's just so cheap looking. The theming in the Toy Story Mania queue looks more expensive than what they did outside. And Galaxy's Edge doesn't feel like Star Wars. It feels Star Wars adjacent. And both have areas where all you see are trees! WTF is that???
I did actually laugh when Taylor talked about doing "a loop" while still in the Sunset Blvd section. You CAN'T do a loop from there, and it's one of the worst design choices in any Disney park. Yeah, other parks have dead-ends: Disneyland had both Critter Country and Toontown for years. But they were/are fairly short dead-ends. The distance between Hollywood Blvd and the entrance to Tower of Terror is about a quarter of a mile! Part of the reason for this issue continuing is Toy Story Land's budget cuts. The land's original entrance was supposed to be via Animation Courtyard, with a Woody's Roundup-themed area between the Courtyard and the coaster. (Early concept art showed three better-defined themes: A Woody section near Animation Courtyard, a space-themed Buzz area near Galaxy's Edge, and Andy's backyard between the two.) The Roundup courtyard would've replaced a backstage building, but they still would've had to demolish at least one of the buildings in Animation Courtyard. The Little Mermaid/gift shop seems like the obvious choice, but I swear at one point they were talking about dumping the guest area of the former Animation building - which it still was at the time - so they could connect the Courtyard to the RnRC courtyard (now called Gower St). With the addition of the completely unnecessary Racing Academy nonsense, it certainly seemed like this was going to happen at some point - why add ANOTHER attraction to this ridiculous dead end?
There's a little ray of hope, though. You know Imagineers desperately want to connect Star Tours to Galaxy's Edge - Star Tours is NOT going anywhere. Taylor's right otherwise, the New York section is on borrowed time. But just getting rid of Muppet Vision is questionable now that it just got a major update. Considering the big rumor for this park right now is a Muppets Mayhem retheme of Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, it would make sense for Muppet Vision to just take over that Cars atrocity. Would it be the best thing to move an ancient 4D movie attraction? Of course not, but how often does Disney do something that's in its guests' best interest? Retheming these attractions will be seen as a cheap way to get new attractions - and a nice new themed land. The Hollywood theming here is a much-better fit for the Muppets, and Disney is FINALLY realizing that people love them (Muppets Mayhem has a 95% Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes). PizzeRizzo will probably not make the cut, but it's about time they got a Meet 'n' Greet.
Taylor probably also inadvertently nailed the future of Galaxy's Edge, in Orlando at least. This version and Anaheim's both have expansion pads behind the Millennium Falcon ride, so that space is ready for some cloning. But Orlando has far more space, with not only New York, but also the large forest north of Galaxy's Edge's main path. Perfect for a dueling Speeder Bike coaster. This sequence of events - rethemed ride, moved show, lightly-themed outdoor roller coaster that trades on Tron's popularity - that's a Bob Iger wet dream. "New land! New coasters! We'll claim we're going to spend a lot on it but we won't!" The Imagineers will be excited as well because expanding Star Tours' Endor theming will give Star Wars nerds the "real" location they've always wanted. They can even call this end Endor, which keeps Star Tours outside the Galaxy's Edge theme. Could they do better? Of course. Will they? Doubtful.
NOT THE BRITTANY BROSKI MEME AT 12:51
I'm going there february 2024! First timer here!
I was wondering what was going on with Rockn Roller Coaster because when I rode it a few days ago half the signs weren't lit up. It was very dark because of it. When I heard you mention that they recently made it so all of the signs were lit up I thought there must be something wrong because I know that happened a few months ago.
I have a very different take on this park. I don't like the direction it has taken because the park just isn't about anything. This is the ultimate random hodgepodge park now. Calling it "Hollywood Studios" is being a little loose with the language.
I'm personally very bitter that The Great Movie Ride is gone, it's my highest ranked defunct attraction of any kind. I find Runaway Railway is poor replacement and uses the annoying version of Mickey and friends. Tower of Terror is definitely the best thing at the park now and it makes more sense for this park than anything at Galaxy's Edge. If they get rid of TOT orv retheme it to Guardians then I think I'll be done visiting this park.
I know this is just my opinion so everyone is free to disagree. I feel the same way about EPCOT and definitely prefer that park as it was back in the days of Horizons and World of Motion. These two parks (as well as DCA) seem to be parks that Disney simply doesn't like the idea of their themes. They don't like the idea that a park is about something other than just being a poorly organized advertising fair for their IPs.
"If all you eat is chicken tenders and you don't care about food with actual flavour...." Shots fired at Theme Park Worldwide!
Wasn’t meant to be a jab at them lol, just not impressed with the food at backlot express😂
My granddaughter didn’t care for the runway railway. She mentioned it was boring
This was a really good review. But it also convinced me that this park is definitely not for me. Even if I was interested in going to Disney World in the near future, I would not want to spend one of my days in Florida at this specific park. You can't do everything and so it's good to know what to skip.
I can’t believe you didn’t mention the completely empty stretch between ABC commissary and around that corner. Pretty much it’s just a bunch of empty buildings with an Incredibles meet and greet that’s almost never there.
yup California adventure blows Hollywood studios off the charts!
I was expecting a reference, not a personal attack
Hey Coaster Studios. Can you help me with something? I'm going on a trip to Florida. I can only pick 1 park for 1 day. Which one would you choose? I've never been to any of them.
This was super helpful for me because I'm going next month. Are u gonna do a magic kingdom review??
There will be a new one at some point- not sure yet though. Probably not before your upcoming visit.
This was my favorite Disney Park when I last went 13 years ago but now it's a shadow of its former self.
I think this might be one of your most controversial videos alongside La ronde. Disney fans LOVE the original Hollywood studios and it’s golden age Hollywood feel. There’s definitely a disconnect between what the park is now, and what Disney fans want the park to be (just like with epcot)
And I’m not taking the Muppets slander btw. people love that land, especially Muppet nerds who want to do the last project devised by the late great Jim Henson. “people woudnt complain” My ass Muppet fans will fight tooth and nail to defend that land
I get lightning lane for free because of ADHD (that I had 5 years ago) and its really easy to get it.
3:21 DCA got their new front entrance from Hollywood Studios
Just throw in the racing ride from cars. Would stick out a bit but I think people would get over it
That Star Wars land in the beginning looks so sad and embarrassing
I just got back from going to Disney World for the first time. I can honestly say it was the most disappointing experience of my life. I'm a huge fan of the Tron franchise so I was beyond excited to experience the ride at magic kingdom. Surprise! You need to sign up for a queue at 7am that morning which fills up after 15 minutes. Or, you could pay $20 for a lightning pass which also requires another $20 for genie+, for each. This sucked considering I paid $300 total for admission tickets for my wife and I. Disney World is a joke. I spent a fortune just for the privilege of walking around through gift shops.
Technically ToT is trackless. So they already have 3
I feel a lot of Disney parks now a days seem to be kinda for lack of a better term schizophrenic feeling. Where the original ideas for that parks are mixed with random IP and it just does not work for me. Going to this park for the first time in January but just from hearing about a lot of these parks and experiencing California Adventure, cohesion is something Disney parks seem to be lacking and something that I don’t think will ever be fixed.
The drive in theatre is a super fun experience but the food does SUCK I was very thoroughly impressed with all the food I tried in galaxys edge though.
This park has like everything tbh tower of terror Toy Story Disney’s most thrilling coaster Star Wars land idk this is a good contender for the best park.
Rant incoming..... Hollywood Studios (Forever MGM), used to be the movie park, which was to directly compete with Universal Studios right down the road. Now though, ALL Disney theme parks are the "ride the movies" park because that's all they do now. Create rides based on Movies or retheme rides that were once original creations into movie based rides, Like Buzz Lightyear, Frozen and Finding Nemo did to Delta Dream flight, Maelstrom and The Seas pavilion. Disney literally took Universals tagline of "ride the movies" and that's all they do now. So, having a specific park dedicated to movies doesn't even make sense at Disney anymore. The Disney theme parks here in Orlando should just be called "Walt Disney World Studios" at this point.
That is a fair point!
the drive in theater has long hour waits, food is not that great but the atmosphere is were its at.
Do you think they have any Jango Fett Chicken in Galaxies Edge
10/10 reference
I personally think that DHS is my personal favorite of the 4 WDW parks
If you only get the Great Movie Ride once then your clueless about the ride
This park really needs more smaller ticket attractions. It’s way too top heavy. The park also really struggles with the dead ends. They really should try to adjust the layout of this park.
I also think Rise of the Resistance is overrated. I was so excited to ride it, but more often than not it has issues….it’s also a very ‘clean’ environment….which I guess fits for Kylo and friends….but I find it too bland. I’d love to see a ride like this loaded with animatronics and set pieces and special effects.
I prefer Star Tours over Smuglers Run.
I went in 2019, days before Galaxy's Edge opened, hoping the park would be quieter. It wasn't, and this park was my least favorite park in Walt Disney World.
Hollywood studios and epvot are the 2 disney parks that I would go to look for thrills, no hate to MK or AK but they dont stack up to Epcot or HS
I went to the cars show just becayse it was pooring outside 😅
I love Disney World and this is currently my favorite park at the resort. There are Definity identity issues, but the immersive lands and cast members do an incredible job
Can you do this for all the Orlando pakrs
We have reviews already up for most of the Orlando theme parks- just check the Park Reviews playlist!
The mickey hat was an abomination
have never seen a more stacked disney park, kinda sucks ass how every line is usually an hour
every ride is exceptional so it sort of makes up for it but it def stinks
Tower is the best ride...
Home to my least favorite roller coaster! Slinky dog…
Hmmm low capacity rides and not enough rides what could go wrong??
11:41
Hey listen The Great Movie Ride when they took that out that was the first screw to go loose now when it is summer Muppet Vision 3D
It can't be worse then the version in Paris right?
17:57 is this a tyler roast
It 100% is😂
@@CoasterStudios well deserved
I think they should have kept the great movie ride because it was the thesis statement of the park. The park has no identity now
I was really disappointed by Galaxy's Edge. It feels empty and a shopping mall, and like it was trying to copy the Wizarding World but just much less interesting. It doesn't help that they themed it to the awful sequel trilogy
If they were smart it should have been endor in Florida and tattione in disneyland
