The Twilight Zone Tower of
Terror™ - There's not much I can add to what's already been said about
this attraction. Apparently, more people travel to the Walt Disney World Resort
to ride this attraction than any other. It's real easy to understand why. After
a pre-show, guests are shown into the service elevator, which takes them
through the Twilight Zone (you have to see it to believe it!), and then up to
the 13th floor. At the 13th floor, something goes horribly wrong and the
elevator, with us on board, plummets to the ground, only to be hauled up again
(at seemingly the speed of light), for yet another drop, then the lifting and
dropping repeats over again - just in case you still have some breath left! .
This attraction rivals the Disneyland Paris Space Mountain for thrill value. It
has to be one of the all-time greats. If you think your body will survive, you
simply have to ride it.

Rock 'n
Roller Coaster (featuring Aerosmith) - OK. At last The USA has a Verkoma
roller-coaster to rival Disneyland Paris' Space Mountain. It's fast, it's
furious, it twists, it turns, it loops and it does everything a Verkoma coaster
should do -and then some! Like DLP's Space Mountain, this one also uses the
same mechanism for " take off" that is used to launch fighter planes from
aircraft carriers. Except rather than being launched upwards, we're launched
horizontally as our 'stretch-limousine' blares our Aerosmith's music and whoops
across town at seemingly the speed of light! The attraction has a great
pre-show too. We guests are taken into Aerosmith's studio for the lead up to
the main ride. If you're fit, and you like coasters, you'd be entirely crazy to
pass up on the Rock 'n Roller Coaster!

Beauty and The Beast ...
Live on Stage - A sumptuous live production of a shortened version of the
story. Note that this is not the Broadway/London Production this is a special
version created specially for MGM. It's really very Disney indeed, the kids'll
love it too. Just make your way to the 1,500-seat Theater of The
Stars.

RESTAURANTS AND REFRESHMENTS
- Hollywood Brown Derby - A
very swanky (but casual) restaurant, probably one of the best menus in the
park. You might need to book in advance. Watch out for the Streetmosphere
players who entertain you throughout your meal. Highly
recommended.
- Sunset Ranch Turkey Legs -
Mmmmm. I wonder what they sell here?
