Hollywood Studios
Park Background:
Hollywood Studios has got to be another one of my personal favorites, largely in part that it is the home of my all time favorite ride. The Hollywood Tower of Terror. This park also introduces you to what it's like to walk-down Hollywood Boulevard as its main focus is on big screen productions, movie stars, and is now home to theme parks based off of some of their most famous movie series. Toy Story Land and Star Wars Galaxy's Edge parks have added a whole new level of fun and excitement for the whole family to enjoy. These new attractions are inclusive for all ages and personally, my family have all been able to participate and enjoy these newly created attractions. Overall, this park is a joy-ride and is a must-visit if you are in for 30-story drops in the Tower of Terror, reaching maximum speeds in Aerosmith's Rockin' Rollercoaster and piloting the Millennium Falcon.
