Enter Hollywood Studios, pass all the boulevard-style shopping, and take a hard right on Sunset Boulevard.  You will see the awful, dreadful looming hotel with screaming folks plunging into a basement on an elevator gone wild (that thing makes my stomach turn), but turn left just before you get to the Tower of Terror monstrosity.  That is where you will find the enormous guitar and the exhilarating coaster ride that will make you get back in line to experience it again and again.
