Studio Backlot Tour, Theme park attraction at Walt Disney World Resort, Florida, United States
Studio Backlot Tour was a combination of tram rides and walking paths through production studios at an American theme park. The route guided visitors past constructed sets and showed practical film effects in real time.
The facility opened in the late 1980s as part of a larger plan to expand the park around real film production. It closed in the mid-2010s after several reductions in scope.
The attraction educated visitors about film production techniques through demonstrations of water effects, explosions, and access to professional movie props.
The tour lasted about half an hour and was accessible for wheelchair users. Guests could explore the areas both from the vehicle and on foot.
The show at Catastrophe Canyon used real fire and several thousand gallons of water per performance. Visitors saw flames and a flood wave in a recreated canyon.
