If you love the movies, there is no better park for you to visit in Orlando than Disney's Hollywood Studios. You may recall that this park used to be called MGM Studios. You'll feel like a Hollywood insider when you walk through this park that looks like an actual movie set everywhere you look. You'll even have a chance to be part of the action and participate in live shows and parades.

Disney's Hollywood Studios is packed with things to do, especially if you like thrilling rides. The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror goes beyond thrilling and takes it to bone chilling. The Tower is designed to look like a hotel. One can imagine that horrible things happened in this hotel. Check into the Hollywood Tower Hotel, but notice how the property is in ruins. Walk through the lobby and you can't help but notice the distant screams of other hotel guests. The line leads you to an elevator which is supposed to take you to your room on the 13th floor. Unfortunately, on your way up, lightning strikes the hotel and causes the elevator to go haywire, taking you up, up, then dropping you suddenly into a free fall. The ride is run by computers and each ride is programmed to send the elevator up and down randomly, so no two rides are the same. It's truly one of the best rides at the park, and maybe at any of the Disney parks.

There are other great rides at Hollywood Studios, too. The Rock n Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith is one of the fastest roller coaster rides you will ever find. I'm talking 0 to 60 in less than 3 seconds and that's how the ride starts! It is not a ride for the faint of heart. The band Aerosmith is incorporated into the ride, but who has time to enjoy their music when you're in fear for your life? Okay, it's not that scary, but what a rush!

If small children will be accompanying you to the park, take them to Honey I Shrunk the Kids Movie Set Adventure. Based on the movies Honey I Shrunk the Kids, guests can walk through 11,000 feet of space where everything is humongous. You'll find out what it must feel like to be an ant. Kids love the oversized grass and items left behind by giant people.

Another great attraction for smaller children is Toy Story Mania. Especially with Toy Story 3 coming out in theaters soon, they will want to do this. The main attraction here is a 3D ride that simulates a video game. The difference is, you are inside the video game and you get to shoot at targets. It's really fun just walking in line to get to the ride, too. You'll feel like you're a toy in Andy's room.

One of the newest, biggest hits of Hollywood Studios is the American Idol Experience. You've heard of the television show; now you can be on the show. Be an audience member and vote on live performances done by guests like you. If you want to be one of those performers, you can request to be one in advance and if you are chosen as a winner for the day, you earn an actual ticket to audition in front of real American Idol judges! If you make that cut, you could actually be on the show as a contestant. It's a once in a lifetime chance, especially for people who can't get to the regular city auditions. Even just being in the audience and getting to vote on the live performances is a lot of fun.

So, now you have another park that you must visit at Disney World. There is a lot more to do there than what I've described here. Too much to write in one article, but at least you now have some idea of attractions you would like to see when you come.
