Disney World attraction spotlight: Hollywood Studios Twilight Zone Tower of Terror!

I love the theming with ties to 1920’s Hollywood and the Twilight Zone TV series. The cast members do a great job with the experience and the ride itself is thrilling!

Are you a fan?

BREAKING: a brand new Disney Villains live show is coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios in Summer 2025, featuring Cruella de Vil, Captain Hook, and Maleficent! Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy will close on October 7 to make room for this addition.

I really like the Lightning McQueen show! I would think that with the announced Cars themed attractions coming to Magic Kingdom, this might be all part of a long-term plan.
