Disney’s Hollywood Studios currently has nine rides. The complete list includes Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, Slinky Dog Dash, Tower of Terror, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets, Toy Story Mania, Star Tours and Alien Swirling Saucers.
Hollywood Studios has fewer rides than Magic Kingdom, but much of its lineup consists of major, high-production attractions. You will find two roller coasters, two Star Wars rides inside Galaxy’s Edge, two rides without height requirements and several of Disney World’s most immersive thrill rides.
This list counts rides only. It does not include stage shows, character experiences, nighttime entertainment or walk-through exhibits. Check my separate guide to Hollywood Studios ride closures before visiting because temporary downtime has a noticeable effect in a park with only nine rides.

How Many Rides Are at Hollywood Studios?
Disney’s Hollywood Studios has nine rides as of August 2026.
That total can seem surprisingly low because Disney lists rides alongside shows, character greetings, films and other entertainment on its attraction pages. The park offers far more than nine things to do, but only nine current experiences operate as traditional rides.
The total includes:
- Two roller coasters
- Two Star Wars rides inside Galaxy’s Edge
- Three Toy Story Land rides
- Two rides without a minimum height
- Two major Sunset Boulevard thrill rides
Because the park has a concentrated lineup, one closure can push more guests into the remaining headliners. I would identify four or five priorities before arriving instead of assuming you will casually complete everything.
Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway
Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway is a colorful trackless dark ride based on the modern Mickey Mouse animated shorts. It has no height requirement, making it one of the easiest attractions to recommend for a mixed-age group.
I was not expecting it to become one of my favorites, but the ride is creative, joyful and filled with visual surprises. The trackless vehicles separate and move through the scenes in ways that make the attraction feel less predictable than a traditional dark ride.
Its central location makes it convenient, although that also means many guests see it immediately after entering and join the line. I would ride early, use an available Lightning Lane or watch for a lower wait later in the evening.
Sunset Boulevard Rides
Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets
Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets replaced the former Aerosmith version in 2026. The current story follows the Electric Mayhem during a frantic musical adventure through Hollywood.
The coaster launches from zero to high speed, travels through inversions and remains almost entirely indoors. The 48-inch minimum makes it the park’s most restrictive ride by height.
I have always enjoyed the physical coaster because the launch is immediate and the dark interior makes the turns difficult to anticipate. However, it is loud and intense. Anyone uncomfortable with inversions, fast launches or enclosed roller coasters should skip it.
The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror
Tower of Terror is an indoor dark ride and drop-tower attraction themed as an abandoned Hollywood hotel. It requires guests to be at least 40 inches tall.
This is still one of my favorite Hollywood Studios rides. The lobby, boiler room, Cast Member performances and eerie music build suspense long before the elevator begins moving.
The randomized drop sequence is what keeps it re-ridable. Even after riding many times, I never know exactly when the elevator will rise, fall or pause.
Toy Story Land Rides
Slinky Dog Dash
Slinky Dog Dash is a smooth outdoor roller coaster built for families, but it is energetic enough that adults can still enjoy it. The ride has two launches, gentle hills and wide views across Toy Story Land.
I think it is one of the most consistently fun rides in the park. It is not especially intense, but the smooth track, music and outdoor setting give it good energy.
The problem is demand. Its 38-inch minimum allows many children to ride, and that broad appeal can keep the line long for much of the day. This is one of the strongest rope-drop candidates for families.
Toy Story Mania!
Toy Story Mania is an interactive 4D attraction where riders compete in a series of virtual carnival games. It has no minimum height and works well for children, adults and groups with different thrill tolerances.
I like this ride because it is genuinely competitive without being difficult to understand. It is also indoors and air-conditioned, making it a useful midday option when Toy Story Land feels hot and crowded.
The shooting motion can become tiring if you are trying to earn a high score, but that is part of the fun. I would include it on a first visit unless the wait is consuming time needed for a higher-priority ride.
Alien Swirling Saucers
Alien Swirling Saucers is a spinning family ride with a 32-inch height requirement. Ride vehicles swing from side to side as the Toy Story aliens move guests between rotating platforms.
The lighting and music make it cute, especially at night, but this is the easiest Hollywood Studios ride for me to skip. It makes more sense for families already spending time in Toy Story Land than for adults trying to complete the park’s major headliners.
Star Wars Rides at Hollywood Studios
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance
Rise of the Resistance is a large, story-driven attraction that combines walk-through scenes, Cast Member performances, transport vehicles, trackless ride vehicles and a brief drop. Guests must be at least 40 inches tall.
This is the most impressive attraction I have experienced at Disney. The scale of the sets and the way the experience moves from one ride system to another make it feel much larger than a normal dark ride.
Its complexity also makes it vulnerable to temporary downtime. If it is unavailable when you arrive, do not spend the entire morning waiting outside the entrance. Move to another priority and monitor the My Disney Experience app.
Rise of the Resistance is currently offered through Lightning Lane Single Pass rather than Multi Pass. Standby remains available when the attraction is operating.
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run
Smugglers Run is an interactive motion simulator with a 38-inch height requirement. Six riders enter the Millennium Falcon cockpit and receive pilot, gunner or engineer positions.
I enjoy this ride most when I am one of the pilots because those positions directly control the Falcon. Gunner and engineer are still interactive, but they can feel less important to the overall experience.
The full standby queue is worth seeing on a first visit because it provides close views of the Millennium Falcon and leads into Hondo Ohnaka’s preshow. Repeat riders who do not mind splitting their group can consider the available single-rider option.
Star Tours – The Adventures Continue
Star Tours is an indoor motion simulator near Echo Lake with a 40-inch minimum height. Its randomized destinations, characters and story combinations mean the experience can change between rides.
It is not as elaborate as the two Galaxy’s Edge attractions, but it remains a useful ride because its waits are often more manageable. I like using it during the middle of the day when the larger headliners have their longest lines.
Anyone prone to motion sickness should approach it cautiously. The simulator movement can feel stronger than the physical speed would suggest.
Which Hollywood Studios Rides Have No Height Requirement?
Only two current Hollywood Studios rides have no minimum height:
- Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway
- Toy Story Mania!
Both are indoor attractions that work well for groups containing younger children and adults. Alien Swirling Saucers is the next most accessible by height, requiring guests to be at least 32 inches tall.
Families should still review Disney’s health, accessibility and transfer information. Having no height requirement does not necessarily mean every guest can remain in a wheelchair or mobility device throughout the ride.
Which Hollywood Studios Rides Are the Most Thrilling?
Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets and Tower of Terror are the two most intense rides in the park.
- Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster: Fast launch, inversions, darkness and loud music
- Tower of Terror: Repeated randomized drops, darkness and suspense
- Rise of the Resistance: Intense scenes, loud effects and one brief drop
- Star Tours: Strong simulator movement and potential motion sickness
- Smugglers Run: Simulator movement that varies with the pilots
- Slinky Dog Dash: Smooth launches and family-level coaster hills

How I Would Plan the Ride List
I would not treat all nine rides as equal priorities. Rise of the Resistance, Slinky Dog Dash, Tower of Terror and Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway are the four rides I would be most disappointed to miss.
My general approach is:
- Choose Rise of the Resistance or Slinky Dog Dash as the first major target.
- Use the opening hours for two or three high-priority rides.
- Save Star Tours and Alien Swirling Saucers for gaps with manageable standby waits.
- Use indoor rides and shows during the hottest and busiest part of the afternoon.
- Keep checking the app because downtime and wait times can change the best physical order.
Disney now uses Lightning Lane Multi Pass, Single Pass and Premier Pass rather than Genie+. Rise of the Resistance is currently the park’s Single Pass attraction, while several other Hollywood Studios rides are available through Multi Pass. My Hollywood Studios Lightning Lane strategy explains which rides to prioritize, how the tiers work and when paying for Lightning Lane may be worthwhile.
My Hollywood Studios rope-drop guide provides a fuller arrival strategy. Just remember that the ride lineup is concentrated enough that a temporary closure should always have a backup plan.
