??? - Eli G

Time to put this one out of its misery. - Sean Huckel

Horrible not worth you're time - Andrew Dougherty

Lame tour, and the only good part is the villian exhibit! 2/10 - Eric Cartman

its ok but it could be so so much better - Tom Cunningham

Underwhelmed if I'm honest. The Pearl Habour bit was rubbish and needs changing fast. I was interested in seeing the movie props, but there wasn't much reference to them. The Villians Movie Props exhibit at the end was good. - Ben Price

A cheap and rather cynical attempt at one-upping a business rival. - Man-Eating Sharks

Just like Disaster in Universal has a lot of time wasting in it and not enough Smashy Smashy and Boom Boom! 5/10 - D H

I still kind of like the Catastrophe Canyon part of the attraction, but the rest of the tour is a waste of time and space. - James Rao

This is a fun tour/show to do while you are at Disney HS. It's a slow paced tour that gives you a little insite on how some "Movie Magic" is made. The best part is Catastrophe Canyon by far! Caution: You may get a little wet if your are on the left side of the tram! I would recommend to see it once, but don't wait in line too long. Make sure you have gone on your must do rides first and then give this a whirl. 7/10 - Bob Liebe

I found this attraction a bit pointless and not particularly entertaining. The Pearl Harbour sequence is underwhelming the host looked like she didn't want to be there. The tour itself is a bust - there's no production at the Studios anymore so there's precious little to see. The Catastrophe Canyon section is OK mainly because it provides some much needed relief from the tedium of the tour. The tour rushes through a "Boneyard" where there appears to be some interesting props - but the recorded narration doesn't say anything about them. Overall the tour is a big disappointment. - David Wilcock
