Hollywood Studios is the fastest changing park at Disney World. With the recent opening of Toy Story Land, and Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge there is so much to do and see that this park.
Here is a comprehensive list of attractions. This complete list of rides includes location, height requirements, Genie+ eligibility, and some thoughts on each ride, so that you can plan your trip based on what's best for your family.
Alien Swirling Saucers
Similar to Tea Cups (Or even more similar to Mater's Junkyard Jamboree if you've been to Disneyland) this will spin and swirl you with the Toy Story Alien's through space. Be careful if you get motion sickness
Muppet*Vision 3D
This is a super fun 3D show that is also interactive. There are Muppet animatronics during the show, 3D effects, live characters, and more. This is fun for both kids and adults. Plus it's in an indoor theater, so it's also a great way to cool off during the day.
Rock 'N' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith
This is a wild roller coaster with the fastest take off of any roller coaster. It is an indoor ride that features Aerosmith music. The backstory is that you are late for the concert, and your ride (the coaster looks like a car) is flying to get you there in time.
Lightening McQueen's Racing Academy
Lightening himself will teach you what he's learned using a state of the art wrap around screen. He's joined by his friends Mater, Cruz Ramirez, and more
Slinky Dog Dash
This is a super fun family friendly coaster. You are riding in Slinky Dog from the Toy Story movies. The dips and turns are fun, but not intense. So if you or your kids liked some of the other smaller coasters (Seven Dwarfs Mine Train) you'll love this one.
Star Tours: The Adventures Continue
This ride is a motion simulator that changes every time you ride it. One guest is chosen as the rebel spy and their picture is shown on the screen (last time I went on it, it was me!). You'll see different lands and characters depending on your ride, so this is never boring. However, if you get motion sickness you might want to prepare yourself
Toy Story Mania
This is a silly, fun ride that takes you on a 3D ride while playing carnival type games. It's a ton of fun for everyone.
The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror
This is probably my favorite ride in all of Disney World. You walk through a creepy hotel where you hear the backstory of passengers who were struck by lightening while on an elevator. You board the elevator, which moves through the building before taking you up and then plunging down. Over and over again. The sequence is random, and you go up with as much force as you drop.
Star Wars Launch Bay
This is an area where you can find the Star Wars characters BB8, Chewbaca, and Darth Vader meet and greets. You will also find tons of cool Star Wars memorabilia here.
Disney Junior Play and Dance
This is a fun and interactive show staring your kids favorite Disney Junior characters. Note that there are no seats for this show. Adults will sit on the ground while their kids dance and sing along.
Walt Disney Presents
This is a really cool space where you can find memorabilia from Walt Disney's life, including his Oscar. You can also find concept art for some of the rides. This space will sometimes be used for character meets.
Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular
This is an action packed live action stunt show featuring Indiana Jones. It is in an outdoor theater. While the theater is covered, bad weather can disrupt this show.
For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing Along
A fun and funny show that lasts about 20 minutes. You'll learn the story of Frozen from live actors playing Arendale historians. The songs are clips from the movie that you'll sing along with. Anna and Kristoff make several appearances, as does Elsa at the snow filled finale.
Beauty and the Beast: Live on Stage
This is a live show featuring Belle and the Beast. Note that this is at an outdoor theater, so this will not be a place where you can take a break in the air conditioning on a hot day.
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run
This ride puts guests in the drivers seat of the famed star ship. Guests who are riding this attraction will be given "flight crew" roles on the ship. You'll be a pilot, a gunner, or an engineer during your flight.
Star Wars Rise of the Resistance
This ride puts guests in the middle of a battle between the resistance and the First Order. This ride is unlike anything else you'll find at the parks. It's part dark ride, a minor thrill ride, includes Cast Members fully in character, and several animatronics and effects.
Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway
This is the first ride ever to feature Mickey Mouse! On this ride you'll zip through a cartoon universe on a runaway train that Goofy is driving. This is a 3d ride, but you wont need to wear special glasses to enjoy it.
Mickey Shorts Theater
This theater shows the new Mickey Mouse shorts, and is a great stop to rest your feet, cool off, or let your little kids take a break to watch fun cartoons.
