Dusk and Dawn: The 3-D Darkness Adventure

Dusk and Dawn: The 3-D Darkness Adventure (also known as Dusk and Dawn 3-D) was a 3D attraction at Disney-MGM Studios. The 3D attraction opened on March 18, 2004 and closed on November 19, 2007. It was replaced by Puppet Pals 4-D in mid-2008.

The attraction is a mini-sequel to Dusk and Dawn (2002).

History
In February 2003, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer once again signs a licensing deal with Walt Disney Parks and Resorts to install the 3-D attraction based on Dusk and Dawn at Disney-MGM Studios. MGM Animation Studios participated in co-designing the 3-D attraction with Walt Disney Imagineering. Construction began on the new soundstage 3-D theater in the following month, which is set to be home to the new Dusk and Dawn 3-D attraction. The attraction opened on March 18, 2004, at the Sunset Boulevard area. The animation services were provided by DKP Studios. With a total runtime of 11 minutes, the 3-D attraction itself costs $33 million.

Closure
In August 2007, Disney announced that Disney-MGM Studios would be rebranded as Disney's Hollywood Studios on January 7, 2008. Rumors also surfaced that Disney World was planning to retire the Dusk and Dawn 3-D attraction as MGM's licensing agreement with Disney is slowly beginning to expire in Disney World's third theme park (including their Dusk and Dawn 3-D attraction). On September 9, 2007, Walt Disney World officials announced that Dusk and Dawn: The 3-D Darkness Adventure would close on November 19, 2007 (two months before Disney-MGM Studios was renamed to Disney's Hollywood Studios).

Premise
"Join Dusk and Dawn on a mysterious darkness adventure as they find the scroll that contains both "Light" and "Dark" crystals in the waterfall cave before it's too late."

Queue
As guests enter the line queue, the queue (in a soundstage) features dozens of television monitors that show the series of segments (such as fun facts). Before entering the pre-show room (Twilight's Palace), guests pass a kiosk where they pick up a pair of 3D glasses for use during the main show.

Pre-show
The guests enter the Twilight Palace, the pre-show room is hosted by Twilight, who welcomes the guests to "the Dusk and Dawn 3-D attraction at Disney-MGM Studios". Here, the audience stands and watch Twilight summarizing the events of the first film. Once Twilight finishes his summarization, Twilight tells the audience safety for Dusk and Dawn's 3-D adventure before the doors to the 3-D ride open.

Main show
Guests enter the 3D theater that has 350 seats. Once guests are seated, they are told to put on their 3D glasses before the 3D film begins.

The attraction has a 70mm 3-D film projection system. Water sprayers are attached to the back of each seat to spray the face of the rider sitting behind it. More water sprayers on the ceiling, spray riders seated in the front row. Those were to simulate the waterfall cave. Smoke is blown into the audience to simulate the explosion of the waterfall cave.
