 | Superstar Limo |
Around the corner from the Hyperion Theater is the Superstar Limo attraction. You get inside your "limo" and take a ride through a charicatured version of Hollywood past and present. You see animatronic incarnations of stars like Joan Rivers, Whoopi Goldberg and Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas, along with famous Hollywood landmarks like Rodeo Drive, Muscle Beach, and the Chinese Theater - all done in cartoon-like fascades. Its a perfect ride for families who want a shared experience after the kids have spent the day on rides by themselves. Very gentle - no drops or things to frighten the young ones. |
| Hollywood Backlot Stage |  |
Across from Superstar Limo is an outdoor stage where the acrobatics and stage stunt show "Lights, Camera, Chaos!" is presented at various times. The stars of this show perform death-defying stunts perched on various props and tiny platforms high overhead. Its a deceptively simple presentation of intricate skills and atheletic ability. A real crowd-pleaser, for sure, and just a whole lotta fun to watch! |
 | Muppetvision 3D |
Finally we come to our favorite attaction in this part of the park - Jim Henson's MuppetVision 3D. Its a combination of 3D movie, audio animatronic magic, and live performance - all right out of the original Muppet Show from TV. The 3D effects are very good, although not as stunning as they were when this attraction premiered in the Disney/MGM Studios Theme Park in 1989. But there's no denying the genius of creator Jim Henson who sadly passed away just as the show first opened over a decade ago. This is probably his last performance as the voice of his most well-known character Kermit the Frog. We do miss him. |

| Hollywood Chows Down |  |
Along the way, you can't help but notice the glitzy fascade for the "Award Wieners" food stand. We didn't get a chance to sample the dogs, but there was usually a crowd lined up in front of the place (this picture was taken before the park opened that day) so I would expect the hot dogs and sausages to be pretty good! | |
 | Near the back is the enormous Hollywood and Dine which offers one of the largest selections of cuisine in all of California Adventure. You'll find burgers, deli sandwiches, pizza, and Asian specialties here. |
There are several other spots in Hollywood to grab a bite. There's the Beteween Takes stand where you can get a plate full of nachos. The Fairfax Market offers a selection of fresh fruit, vegetables, and nuts - a refreshing change when you've had nothing but fast food for a week. Schmoozies can quench your thirst with a cool frothy smoothie drink, or pick you up with a cup of steaming hot gourmet coffee. | |
