Name: Studio Backlot Tour
Type: Half show, half tram tour
Location: Hollywood Studios, in the Backlot area
The Gist: See how some movie special effects are created with a fun demonstration, then take a tram tour of the functional areas of the park's backlot. Finish in a giant canyon set, and experience a fake earthquake, another demonstration of movie magic.
A Must-Do For: Film buffs and people who are interested in behind the scenes workings of movie studios.
Avoid If: You are likely to be scared by that simulated earthquake. Basically, you just shake, some water sprays out, and there are some flames (don't worry, they don't reach you!), but I've seen small kids have freak outs at this part. Also, if you are totally opposed to maybe getting splashed, you might want to stay away.
Fear Factor: Well, 90% of this attraction is not scary at all, but I'd give it a 2/10 because of the earthquake part.
Lines and Other Tips: Since the first part of this experience is a demonstration/show, there is no continuous boarding. That means, the wait time is usually just until the next one starts, which is probably about 10 minutes or so. Note that this whole attraction runs about 35 minutes, so if you are not willing to invest that kind of time, than skip it. Also keep in mind that this does not usually run after 5 or 6 o'clock, so go early if it is a must-do.
I REALLY love the Backlot Tour. I'm not usually one for tours and shows, but this one is really fun, and pretty interesting, too. One of the neater experiences at Hollywood Studios, in my opinion.
