MGM Studios Attraction Description
Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith– Jam along to your favorite Aerosmith tunes as you rocket from zero to 60 mph in under two seconds at the beginning of this ride. The entire coaster is inside and primarily in the dark, and there are plenty of twists and loops along the way to make even the most die-hard thrill ride fans keep coming back for more. Of note, however: this ride is extremely popular and will have a long wait no matter what time of day it is. So, be sure to use a FASTPASS for this attraction (and get your FASTPASS early in the day, as they can run out early in the afternoon on a busy summer day).
The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror – This attraction is right up there with the best themed rides at the Walt Disney World Resort. From the eerie outside of the Hollywood Tower Hotel to the inside lobby, everything at this attraction will make you believe that you really are entering a hotel from Hollywood’s Golden Age. But, inside is where all the fun begins. Guests will board elevators that have four different random sequences of drops – so you never know which sequence you will get once you get on board. In all, each ride will plummet down 13 stories in matter of just three exhilarating seconds. This is another good attraction in which to take advantage of the FASTPASS system.
