We Scientifically Ranked Every Ride, Restaurant & Bar at Hollywood Studios

Join us for episode 497 of the Theme Park Trader Podcast!

We've done something a little different this week — we've put every ride, show, restaurant and bar at Disney's Hollywood Studios under the microscope and ranked the lot from best to worst.

But we didn't just take Google's star ratings at face value. A place with a handful of reviews can look like it's beating somewhere with thousands, so we ran every score through the same kind of formula IMDb uses for its Top 250 — pulling the small-sample scores back until they've earned their place. What's left is a ranking of what's actually rated highly, not just what got lucky.

Along the way, we:

• Crown the highest-rated attraction in the park (and debate whether it deserves it)
• Expose the snack spot whose glowing rating completely falls apart under scrutiny
• Work out whether one of the most hyped, hardest-to-book spots in the park is quietly one of its worst
• Argue about the ride that genuinely underwhelms — and the one nostalgia won't let us criticise
• Sort out what's worth your time and money on your next trip, and what to skip

If you've ever wondered what's genuinely worth doing at Hollywood Studios — and what's coasting on hype — this is the episode for you.
