Disney's Tower of Terror

Main Attractions

  "You are about to discover what lies beyond the fifth dimension...beyond the deepest, darkest corner of the imagination...in the Tower of Terror
As you walk down Sunset Boulevard at Disney's Hollywood Studios, looming above the trees is a sight that sends chills down your spine.... The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. Standing 199 feet tall, the height alone is enough to cause even the bravest soul to second guess their choice to enter the queue. 

But if thrills rides are your cup of tea, don't hesitate a moment.  ToT will NOT disappoint you.  Designed and decorated like the old Hollywood Hotel, the ride begins in the lobby, goes to the library and the boiler room.  

You then board a 1917 cage elevator


Once on board you will be catapulted 13 stories at frightening speeds.  Like human rubber bands you'll plummet and rise, plummet and rise. Never knowing just how many times.  Once you catch your breath, you'll leave thrilled.

For those of you who aren't as adventurous, you can can enjoy the pre-show.  Just before boarding the elevator, let the closest cast member know you'd like to take the "chicken-exit".  But if your fear is elevators, this won't help, because the chicken exit is an elevator.  As a single mom, this was so helpful.  I stayed with them until they boarded the ride, took the chicken exit and was waiting for them when they got off.


               This is a Must-See.  Great Ride.  Fun, not to scary. 





Even with a fear of elevators, I tried the ride anyway.  And boy am I glad.  It was so much fun





I tried the ride.  And it was 'okay'.  With only a little cloth seat-belt, I felt like I was going to fall out.  So if you're young and small, you might not like this.  Since I'm older and bigger, I might try it again.  The last time I went on it I was only 7.
