Here is my second to last Top Ten List of my favorite attractions at Disney’s MGM Studios/Hollywood Studios. Thankfully after my last trip in 2003 I can make a  a great list of my favorite attractions at this wonderful park. Without further ado, I will begin my list with the number ten favorite attraction:

Number 10:

Voyage of the Little Mermaid

Much like the movie, the live show is a great Disney experience for people of all ages. The actors are all great and it is a wonderful way to see the movies best parts. The songs are just as good as in the movie as well and also the special effects are top-notch. If you make your way to Hollywood Studios then you should definitely check this one out.

Number 9:

Beauty & the Beast Live on Stage

Much like The Little Mermaid, this is another great live show to behold while at the park. Just like the popular film, this has become a staple in the park over the years. The people on stage, even the ensemble, make this show come to life for all to see. You will no doubt watch this amazing show even if you aren’t a fan of the movie.

Number 8:

Doug: Live!

Even though the Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast are great, Doug: Live!, even though it is gone, will always be a favorite to me. I’ve been a fan of the series, from Nickelodeon to Disney, and seeing this show was an amazing sight to see. The humor was great and all the character from the show were all fantastic. Unfortunately, as stated before, the show was later replaced, but this will always remain as one of my favorite show that Disney World offered over the years.

Number 7:

Studio Backlot Tour

This show is always a memorable experience for me and my whole family. Seeing all the cool sights and sounds are truly a great experience. Especially the famous scene where you actually come face to face with huge fireballs and so much water you could open your own water park in the ride. Sadly, the ride is scheduled to be closed this year and will be sad sad sight to see. Nonetheless, this ride gave me fond memories that I shall never forget.

Number 6:

Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular

While the other shows are classics, the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular really speaks for itself. Even the name of the explains how the show is. It has a unique balance of humor and action to make it a show that cannot be missed at all. So if you enjoy the stunts in the Indiana Jones movies then you should do yourself a favor and definitely check this show out the next time you go to the theme park.

Number 5:

Jim Henson’s MuppetVision 3D

Now I have been a huge fan of Jim Henson’s The Muppets for years and this 3D show is without a doubt one of the best Muppet shows that I have ever seen. Much like the Muppets themselves, the entire show is a real trip into the world of the funny antics of Kermit and the rest of the Muppets. From the pre-show to the last scene of the feature, you will no doubt laugh your head off from all the humorous actions from all the Muppets that are seen in the feature.

Number 4:

Great Movie Ride

I am a huge movie buff and the Great Movie Ride is another ride that is, as it describes, great so to speak.  Visitor go off on an amazing experience through some of the most popular movies and its favorite scenes as well. The ride has its own surprises through the ride and anyone that loves movies will do themselves a favor and ride this for the pure nostalgia of some of the best movies of all-time.

Number 3:

Star Tours

Star Wars have always been a favorite movie trilogies and the ride Star Tours is another example of how awesome the series really is. From its humor to realistic actions, Star Tours is and will always be a favorite of mine for years to come. Also, the visitors also get to experience some famous scenes from the Star Wars and make the ride even more enjoyable.

Number 2:

Tower of Terror

Now there have been a lot of thrill rides that I have been on through my life and one of the best would definitely be the creepy hotel called the Tower of Terror. With its unexpected drops and surprises abound, you should do yourself a favor and ride this ride no matter what. If it weren’t for  number 1 then this would very likely be the best ride at the Studios.

And the Number 1 favorite attraction at Disney’s MGM Studios/Hollywood Studios is:

Aerosmith’s Rock n’ Roll Roller Coaster

If you love extreme coasters and the musical group called Aerosmith, then you should do yourself a favor and hop in the limousine and prepare of the ride of your life. The ride has  everything a individual loves in a coaster and then doubles it with unexpected twists and turns to really cause your stomach to turn inside out in a good way. This coaster, when I first came on it when it first came out was scary at first, but when the ride was over I immediately loved it. So if you through enjoy all that roller coasters are capable of then go on Aerosmith’s Rock n’ Roll Roller Coaster and enjoy every second of this ride.

Well here is another list and remember my opinions are a lot different then yours.
