It is an exciting experience for one and all because for a few hours you feel like you are in on all the magic that happens there. There are a number of attractions at the park. There are rides that are fashioned after popular movie and TV shows settings like the Jurassic Park ride, the Mummy ride, Back to the Future ride, etc. these are a combination of various rollercoaster rides as well as digital audio visual rides.
There are panoramic theatre shows that portray the history of the studio as well as informative shows that show you a part of the making and animation in certain movies. There is also a tram ride through the various sets of iconic films that have been preserved out of respect and tourist attraction, for example the sets of Jaws, Psycho, Dr. Seuss’ Grinch and the widely popular Wisteria Lane from the show Desperate Housewives. And to add to all the fun, there are a number of movie characters that flock the streets of the park and mingle with the tourists.
