Disney Video: Hollywood Studios
When I received my itenerary a week or so before I flew out I was kind of worried about being the only one who didn’t want to do the rollercoasters, or my nemesis, the Tower of Terror.
The first ride Sarah decided to take us on was the Aerosmith Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster (one of my ‘don’t think I can do that’ ones). We hovered outside as we established who was prepared to give it a shot, before my brain was in gear I’d already agreed and we were whipping past the queues at breakneck speed, fastpasses in hand. I’d barely had a chance to change my mind and we were at the front of the queue. I vaguely remember demanding to know what was about to happen, Sarah admitted to one loop but refused to disclose anymore (until after the damage was done!)
What can I say, it was the best ride I’ve ever done! (and I have done a few at Alton Towers and the stand up one at Drayton Manor). It starts out with you hurtling from 0 – 60 mph in 2.8 seconds into a pitch black inside rollercoaster with 3 (yes three, think someone has a problem counting!) full loops and blaring music, you get completely disorientated, which is actually quite comforting, I prefer it when you can’t see what’s going on. I can see myself in the singles queue for this one in five weeks time! (all is forgiven Sarah)
Next up was the more sedate Toy Story Mania which is a shooting game of sorts (you’ll see what I mean if you ever have a go). It was a lot of fun, both adults and children can enjoy this one 
Onwards to the Muppet Vision 3D, which is lots of fun and ideal for the whole family.
And finally the Tower of Terror, after the success of the Rock ‘n’ Roller coaster I found myself agreeing to it…I figured it would be over in no time if I didn’t like it. Here’s a quick ten second shaky hand video of us approaching the Tower, and yes, that is terror you can hear in my voice…
We fastpassed our way through and just as we were being shuffled into position a wave of panic came over me, I’m not joking, I was on the verge of crying like a baby, it must have been embarassing because Laura was quick to whip out her camera and grab a photo (note to self: never expect sympathy from a fellow blogger, their just after their next big post, disgraceful). We entered what can only be described as a chamber with seats, fortunately we’d already engineered it so that we were at the back. As soon as we were seated I snuggled into Linda – she had a black t-shirt on, I thought if I could hide behind it the horror would be over before I knew it.
And then it began…a 13 floor drop and shutters revealing your terror to the masses, up, down, up, down, up, down….
Okay, so it wasn’t as bad as I’d expected but I’m unlikely to do it again, catch my drift.
Sarah was quick with her Disney fact of, it’s the only ride at Disney World that has a randomizer so that every ride is different…..and that ride was tamer than some of her other experiences. Great, bloody great, there I was thinking I’d been semi brave and that was an ‘easy one’.
Never again
