Disney Hollywood Studios Rides: Lights, Coasters, Action

Disney Hollywood Studios rides are pure movie magic.

They’re fast, fun, immersive, and—yes—worth every minute of planning.

Whether you’re in it for the heart-racing drops, the movie tie-ins, or the sheer “how did they do that?” factor, this park delivers.

Thrill Rides with Star Power

Let’s start with the big ones.

Tower of Terror is iconic, eerie, and will 100% leave your hair a mess—in the best way.

Step inside the haunted Hollywood hotel, board the doomed elevator, and drop again (and again) into scream-worthy darkness.

Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster launches you from zero to 57 mph in under three seconds.

Add a wild soundtrack and neon visuals, and you’ve got the fastest, loudest limo ride of your life.

And then there’s Rise of the Resistance, the crown jewel of Galaxy’s Edge.

It’s not just a ride—it’s a full-blown Star Wars experience, with multiple stages, mind-blowing tech, and a storyline you’ll never forget.

Not every ride has to rattle your bones.

Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway is charming, bright, and surprisingly wild.

It’s a trackless adventure through a cartoon universe—perfect for kids and adults alike.

In Toy Story Land, you’ve got three can’t-miss rides:

Slinky Dog Dash (a family-friendly coaster with thrills and views)
Alien Swirling Saucers (for younger kids and intergalactic spins)
Toy Story Mania! (a 3D carnival shooter that will awaken your competitive side)

Star Tours is a classic flight simulator with randomized storylines, so every ride feels different.

And if you need to cool off and chill, shows like Muppet*Vision 3D offer a quirky break in the A/C.

Get Genie+ or Individual Lightning Lanes for high-demand rides like Rise of the Resistance and Slinky Dog Dash.

Disney Hollywood Studios rides are more than just attractions—they’re immersive, cinematic experiences.

You’re not just riding—you’re starring in the action.

From galaxy battles to runaway trains and haunted elevators, this park puts you at the center of the scene.
