Disney-MGM Studios Backlot Tour

After a very bland pre-show watching the making of ConAir and then a simulated sea battle sequence, passengers board a tram that tours through the studio backlot. This is a new studio so you won't find as many famous icons as you would at, say, Universal Studios California, but there are some gems here like the Golden Girls house and Herbie the Love Bug. The climax here is Catastrophe Canyon, a disaster simulated on a rocky bridge which you do not exit the tram to experience. The floor rattles, water and fire erupt and by the time the Director yells "CUT!" you are cutting your path out of there, to finish up the tour.

While Disney is gearing up for its auto stunt show the backlot tour may be out of commission.
