Trivia

  • Studio Tram Tour: Behind the Magic previously featured a slightly longer route, crossing over its path after Catastrophe Canyon to travel alongside a Costuming building and provide a peek inside its windows. Also along this route were additional "boneyard" props and a scene featuring planes and a small aircraft hangar from the movie Pearl Harbor. The route was closed in early 2009 to provide space for an expansion of Toon Studio including Toy Story Playland.

Catastrophe Canyon uses (and recycles!) 265,000 litres of water per show, with water pumps powerful enough to launch someone 100 metres into the air!

Tips

  • Ride first thing in the day or towards park closing time, particularly during the main parade event, for the shortest waiting times. As the attraction is located at the centre of the park, queues can be quite consistent throughout the day.
  • If you have a choice, sit in the middle of the tram or further back for a better view of the action.
