The Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith -   Just opened in 1999, speed away on "the best themed roller coaster in the world" (Scott Richman). You enter the G-Force Record studio surrounded by music memorabilia. After a short wait, you enter the recording booth where you meet Aerosmith. They are performing in a concert across LA, and you are invited. You "exit" to the garage out back and board your "stretch limo." It takes off from 0-60 in 2.8 seconds and the rest is history. After three inversion and many twists and turns, you get a red carpet entrance to the concert. There are 5 different trains on this track and each one contains 5 speakers for each guest and its own unique soundtrack. Some of the tracks were recorded especially for this attraction.  Must be 48" to ride.
The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror -   Step into this replica of the Hollywood Tower Hotel and be prepared to enter the Twilight Zone. Rod Serling greets you and tells you about the guests who disappeared from the elevator when lightning struck the tower. He then shows you a "service elevator still in service, waiting for you. We invite you if you dare, because in tonight's episode, you are the star, and this elevator travels directly to THE TWILIGHT ZONE!" If you decide to board the service elevator, you take a trip up one floor. There, the people who vanished appear and invite you in, but the doors close and you go up again. The doors open again, and your car moves forward. As you look left and right, you are surrounded by apparitions. We have heard that some of these are pictures they took of you earlier. You move into a black area, and enter the Twilight Zone. Then Rod Serling rejoins you to give you some closing remarks. You exit through the main shop for the tower, where you can buy the pictures they took of you. The picture was taken at the initial drop from the top. At night, you see that some of the letters are burnt out. We have ridden this ride, and it is awesome!! They are currently working on a rotating drop sequence and are replacing the lap bars with seatbelts for all riders. If you like thrills, and even if you don't, make sure you visit the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. Must be 40 inches to ride.
Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage -   Relax and enjoy this 30 minute live presentation of one of Disney's greatest animated classics. Join Belle, Chip, Mrs. Potts, and others as they try to teach the Beast how to love before time runs out. Check your guide map for times.

Fantasmic -   Showing nightly, and sometimes twice a night, this spectacular show allows you to follow Mickey Mouse through his worst nightmares. He battles evil using all of his powers. This show is so amazing that it is impossible to describe. It is a must see. If you are in the park on a two show night, view the later show. If they are only showing it once, get there early to wait in line.
