My Top Five Favorite Rides In Hollywood Studios

Here is a list of my favorite rides in Hollywood Studios.

My favorite ride in Hollywood Studios is Slinky Dog Dash. (For a Slinky Dog Dash review click here!) Slinky Dog Dash is located in Toy Story Land and is a fast roller coaster.

My second favorite ride is Toy Story Mania. (For a Toy Story Mania review click here!) Toy Story Mania is also in Toy Story Land. It is a fun 3D ride.

My third favorite ride is Star Tours. (For a Star Tours review click here!) On this ride you go on a mission in the galaxy with C3PO.

My fourth favorite ride is Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular. (It’s actually a show not a ride but I really like this show!) Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular shows some behind the scenes stunts and if you are 18 or older you can even take part in the show! (For a review of the Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular, click here!)

My fifth favorite ride is Alien Swirling Saucers. This ride is located in Toy Story Land and you sit down in a spaceship and spin around and around.

New FastPass+ Tiers Coming To Hollywood Studios

I am so sorry for not posting recently! I was really busy with studying for Finals. My last day of school is this Tuesday and then I promise to post a lot of blog articles.

Currently, FastPass+ are separated into two tiers. Tier 1 is for the popular rides meanwhile Tier 2 is for the not as popular rides. The FastPass+ tiers that are at Hollywood Studios right now make it easy to ride a popular ride with a minimal wait time. On August 29, though, they’re going to change the tiers.

Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run will open in Galaxy’s Edge on August 29 but will not have FastPass+.

I think it’s a good idea to use Tier 1 on the most popular rides. For example: Slinky Dog Dash, Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, and Toy Story Mania to name a few. These rides have very long lines so you should probably use Tier 1.

Green Army Soldiers can be found in Toy Story Land!

Tier 2 meanwhile should be used on Muppet Vision 3D, Indiana Jones, Star Tours, and Voyage of the Little Mermaid.

The new FastPass+ tiers don’t come out until August 29, so hopefully we will get more information!

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Updates

We have some Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge updates for you!!

First off, you will be able to hear Yoda in Black Spire Outpost! The Play Disney Parks app will become a Star Wars datapad while you are in Batuu. (For more information on the Play Disney Parks app, click here!) The four key functions will be a Hacking Tool (helps interact with droids), a Translating Device to help translate Aurebesh (the written language in Star Wars), a Tuning Tool so you can eavesdrop on satellite transmissions, and a Scanning Device. The Outpost Control game will show your loyalty to either the Resistance or the First Order.

Do you know the story of how RX-24 became the DJ at Oga’s Cantina? I’ll tell you! RX-24 first flunked out of Star Tours, (for a Star Tours review click here!) then he found his way to the Battle of Jakku. He crashed on Batuu from a TIE Fighter chase and became the DJ at Oga’s Cantina.

Don’t forget that Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opens August 29 in Hollywood Studios!

What I Like About It

Star Tours is a ride at Hollywood Studios based on Star Wars.  You and C3PO have to escape from Darth Vader or the First Order.  Oh no!  They are looking for the rebel spy on your ship (they flash a picture of a random person on the ride who is the “rebel”).  Every time you go on Star Tours it’s different, meaning that if you first saw Darth Vader, the next time your ride you might see the First Order. 

C3PO!

What I Don’t Like About It

When the doors open for you to exit, the other doors for the people to get on the ride open too.  If you’re getting off the ride, you can feel stressed and rushed, especially if you have had to store your bag underneath the seat and you have to get it out.  It will be okay!  If you hold up the line, it is not the end of the world.
