There are three other attractions in this district. The first is Jim Henson's Muppet*Vision 3D which is currently featured at Disney-MGM Studios. Muppet*Vision is a hilarious 3D film with some in-theater effects, animatronics and a popular preshow. Superstar Limo turns guests into movie stars putting them on a wild "limousine" ride through Rodeo Drive, Bel-Air, Sunset Blvd. and other famous Los Angeles hit spots. During this dark ride you'll also encounter some Hollywood celebrities done with simple animatronics and puppets.

The Hyperion theater serves as the backdrop for Hollywood as you look down the street

The Hyperion Theater can also be found here. This 2,000-seat theater with two balconies will house Disney shows during park hours and is capable of hosting special events as well.

Among the highlights of a visit to Walt Disney World's Disney-MGM Studios is the 50's Primetime Cafe where even the waiters get into the act. For the first time in a west coast Disney park such a restaurant is being built. The servers at the ABC Soap Opera Bistro will act out traditional soap opera roles - doctor, amnesiac, a tycoon - while guests dine in replicas of sets from ABC soap operas. Another dining highlight of this district is Hollywood and Dine, a food court where guests can dine in movie sets recreating famous golden-age Hollywood nightspots.
