3 - Sunset Blvd and Tower of Terror

AJ, Mike, and Chris invite you to travel back to 1994 and the first major expansion for the Disney-MGM Studios. Sunset Blvd offered extended shopping, dining, a new(ish) theater venue, and a grand new attraction, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. Learn about the real life Hollywood landmarks the inspired nearly every structure on the boulevard, discover the lands and attractions that were almost built, and find out about the incredible engineering, design, and story telling that would transport guests to the fifth dimension in their very own episode of The Twilight Zone.
