Toy Story ride car.
More Toy Story props.
Tinker Toys, Lincoln
Logs, Sorry game

Backstage tour. This ride
through disaster canyon is now
unfortunately gone, but the
tour was so much fun. This is
where you can see an oil rig
burst into flames, right next to
the tram car you are riding in.
The heat is really intense.
Then the entire canyon floods.
After the ride they take you
behind it to show you how it
works. The tour also shows
special effects and prop and
costume departments.
This looks like a little creek until the water
tower bursts.
Another look at the tram cars.
The Beauty and the Beast show is just like
watching a Broadway play.
Sadly, this show is now gone, but not forgotten. Lights, Motors,
Action! This show was imported from Disneyland in France.
Stunt show at its best. Racing
cars, screeching tires, people on
fire, Motorcycles, Boats, Jet Skis,
explosions, lots of jumps and
very very close calls. If you like
the thrill of smoking tires and
action movies, this one is for you.
We have never seen the cars hit
each other, but they come within
inches of each other. The cars are
now showing dents that we
haven't seen on earlier visits, so
they must hit now and then,
hopefully during practice and not
in the actual show. Click the
video below to see real footage
from the show. The car hits an air
bag on landing.
Indiana Jones Stunt Show
Lots of noise, excitement, audience participation and
surprises.
Disney changed the name from MGM
Studios to Hollywood Studios back in
2007. So here are some pictures of both.
The only thing that changed was the
name. The best ride in the park is Toy
Story Mania. Lines are always long so
make sure you get there early in the
morning. Toy Story is a full-screen 3D
game that has different scenes like a
county fair.
The Great Movie Ride
looks like the Chinese
theater.
