4. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster
In addition to Tower of Terror, Sunset Blvd is also home to Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster. This is another thrill ride and guest favorite. The coaster is set to music by Aerosmith and is full of big drops and quick turns and loops. Additionally, there is a great story behind the ride, making it even more amazing. This is an amazing ride for thrill seekers, and even more amazing for thrill seekers who happen to be fans of rock music!
5. Hollywood Scoops
Hot Florida weather means ice cream is a great treat almost anytime in Disney World. Luckily, Hollywood Scoops is available to visitors of Sunset Blvd, meaning you can grab a nice cold scoop of ice cream anytime. This little kiosk serves up ice cream sundaes, sandwiches, and more. Unfortunately, there is no indoor seating, but considering how you’ll be eating a chilly treat, air conditioning is less necessary.
