As a part of the addition, the Twilight Zone Tower Terror opened. On the Tower of Terror, guests are transported into Rod Sterling's Twilight Zone where they board a haunted elevator. The elevator drops guests 15 stories before rising back up and dropping them again.

===Disney-MGM Studios 2000-2007===
With the turn of the 21st century, Disney-MGM Studios began to see a series of changes. As a part of the 100 Years of Magic celebration, a 122 ft. tall Sorcerer’s Hat (from the Disney movie Fantasia) was constructed in front of Grumman’s Chinese Theater <ref> http://www.yesterland.com/removehat.html </ref>. At this time, Walt Disney's One Man Dream also opened <ref name= "timeline"/>. The new attraction featured both a museum of Disney artifacts and a short biographical film about Walt Disney himself. In 2003, the animation studio located at the park closed, ending the Animation Tour that had been a staple of the park since opening day <ref> http://www.filmbuffonline.com/News/2003-2004/DisneyClosesStudio.htm </ref>. In 2004, New York Street was expanded to include architecture found in San Francisco and renamed The Streets of America. The section of the Studio Tour that resided behind the Streets of America (Residential Street) was then bulldozed in 2004 in order to make room for a new stunt show titled Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show, which opened in 2005 <ref> http://allears.net/tp/mgm/m_stunt.htm </ref>.
