Sunset Boulevard

Behold a fiendishly funny and fantastical stage show starring iconic Disney villains… who are feeling unfairly treated.

The forces of good and evil battle it out in Mickey’s dream during this extravagant open-air nighttime musical.

Kermit, Miss Piggy, Animal, and the rest of the Muppets have taken over one of Disney's Hollywood Studios' most iconic attractions. Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring the Muppets combines the high-speed thrills guests love with the signature humor, music, and mayhem that only the Muppets can deliver. Featuring a new storyline, updated scenes, and plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, this reimagined coaster is sure to be a hit with both longtime Muppets fans and first-time riders alike.

Cara’s Tip: If you’d like to sit in the front seat just ask, but be prepared for a wait because every other daredevil around has the same idea. The chicken-hearted can take comfort in knowing that although there are three inversions on the ride, there are no steep drops.

On this free-falling adventure, you’ll certainly feel you’ve entered The Twilight Zone or, at the very least, a brand new dimension of fright. The waiting line snakes through the crumbling grounds of the deserted, 13-story Hollywood Tower Hotel with its rusty grillwork, dry cracking fountains, and overgrown and unkempt foliage before proceeding through the spooky, abandoned lobby of dusty concierge desks, forgotten luggage, and dead flower arrangements. Step into the gloomy hotel library for a message from Rod Serling (on a black-and-white television, of course) who relays the tale of a stormy night in 1939 when an elevator filled with people was struck by lightning and disappeared. A bellhop then invites you into the boiler room where an old, rusty service elevator awaits you.

It ascends and moves horizontally through several remarkable special effects and then, in the pitch black without warning, plummets 13 stories to the bottom. Up you go again, and down, and up, and down, between which you’ll have dazzling views of the park. If you can stand the thrill, don’t miss this one; just be sure to ride it on an empty stomach.

10-minute ride. Minimum height: 40 inches. Not recommended for expectant mothers, those with back, heart, or neck problems, or those prone to motion sickness.

Cara’s Tip: If you chicken out, an escape route is located immediately before entering the elevator; just ask a bellhop for directions.
