“the hollywood that never was”

The Hollywood that never was and always will be — a deco boulevard that dead-ends into a haunted hotel, with a galaxy far, far away and Andy's backyard folded in behind the facades.

What makes this park itself.

This park is a movie lot that dreams it's a movie: a deco boulevard aimed straight at a haunted hotel, with whole worlds — Batuu, Andy's backyard — hidden behind the soundstage facades.

More about Hollywood Studios

Tower of Terror is the best ride-building Disney ever made: the queue, the library, the boiler room, and a drop sequence the elevator invents fresh every time.

The map follows the official one: the entrance at the bottom, Hollywood Boulevard straight up to Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway, Echo Lake to the left, Sunset Boulevard bending right to the Tower of Terror, and Galaxy's Edge and Toy Story Land across the back.
