of the time : Backstage Studio Tour . You spend the next 30 minutes on a bright red bus visiting production facilities , sets that look like New York and residential streets , and a disaster scene that could splash water on you at Catastrophe Canyon .
Everyone in your group loves getting sprayed as the water comes barreling down the mountain and takes out the train . But , if you ’ re like me , you prefer riding through the costuming shop and seeing all the designers hard at work .
A 1-HOUR TOUR Ready to walk again ? The Inside the Magic : Special Effects and Production Tour takes you through a complete movie .
This 1-hour guided walking tour ushers you through Soundstages , Editing , a Shooting Stage , and a Water Effects Tank .
The last stop is The Walt Disney Theater for previews of upcoming films . Maybe Aladdin or The Muppets Christmas Carol ? Speaking of Muppets …
MEETING MUPPETS AND MUTANT NINJA TURTLES Fozzy , Miss Piggy , Raphael , and Mikey ?!? You get to meet them all at the Jim Henson ’ s Muppets on Location and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles meet-andgreet areas .
Most folks who visited MGM Studios during this time remember the disaster scene .
After watching Muppet * Vision 3D , you rush over to the Muppets , autograph book in hand . Then it ’ s time for the turtles . You finally get them to sign autographs and pose for photos after they eat a lot of pizza and show off some gnarly moves .
Raphael , Donatelllo , Michelangelo , and Leonardo posed for photos and signed autographs .
Muppet * Vision 3D is a great place to cool off , sit down , and have a laugh .
