wicket · 03-22-2006, 03:58 AM

I'm french, and you probably know that the same tower is build at the walt disney studios.
So i would like to know much about your tower , because the plan of your tower are them of our tower(dca stole our plan, lol), If you have pics of all the side of the tower and if you know things about the electrical room, can u rispond me.
Here some people ask answered about this room, because it's a big room, and some say that a room with lot of things like cm break room.
Thank u and sorry for my english

well actually, the tower of terror "experience" is already up and running here on this website. its not the video of the attraction, as that is not prohibited, but it does a very good job of giving you a idea of what the attraction is like thru pictures and audio.

as for its photos, you can find those on google image search.

i'm not really qualified to answer any questions about it's engines or backstage workings though.

I'm not sure what you mean by electrical room. Do you mean the boiler room in the queue, or like an actual room that controls the electric stuff on the ride?

I'll try to post some photos in a bit.

i talk about, the room which control, the ride, just because i have some Officials Plans of the tower and behind he tower a building contains, restroom for cast, and some room for them, during their break, but some says that this room is just a sort of small generator for the tower, that use lot of power.
So if i have some information about ur tower i can tell officially that this room is not only an electric chamber.
My plan are some stllen plans from Walt Disney Imagineering, so i can show it to people, so i need other proof of what i say.

I don't know if this site has the specific answers you're looking for. It seems to have information that does relate to your question.

www.towerofterror.org

And this page breaks down all the Towers of Terror which might be helpful.

www.towerofterror.org/library.html

It's actually a pretty neat site, one of the better ones that focuses on a specific ride.

By the way, your English is much better than my French.

. . . I don't speak French actually.

Kovu · 03-24-2006, 04:59 PM

disney's #1 fan · 04-03-2006, 09:43 PM

i rode the tot since its been opened and that ride gets better everytime i ride it

disneygeek06 · 04-05-2006, 02:10 PM

i know that this is a wired question but the room with the t.v is it just a room or is it an elevator?

RollingBoulder · 04-05-2006, 04:32 PM

^ It's just a room. You go in one door and out another.

protostars · 04-05-2006, 04:47 PM

but it's fun to yell out "hold on" when the TV comes on and watch the first time riders panic!!!!

disneygeek06 · 04-05-2006, 11:22 PM

hey thanks everyone for the help
it helped me out because i wasnt sure but now i knoow

tony · 04-06-2006, 05:37 AM

i wonder how fast you fall and do you go up as fast too?

Mortimer · 04-06-2006, 07:47 AM

According to http://www.geocities.com/service_elevator/facts.html

"The Tower of Terrors top speed is 39 mph."

"Elevators are pushed down. It's not a freefall. The g force is 1.3"

It doesn't say whether the the 39 mph is up or down. And don't I know if this the MGM one, the DCA one, or both Towers of Terror.

It doesn't mention speeds, but interesting information is also available at

Actully you do know that the people who make Disneyland in California are the same people who make all the other stuff in the other Disney parks? Did you know that? I think the Tower of Terror in Disney World is better than the one over here in California. Plus they have a lot more room out there to bulid more stuff. Also the thing special about the in California is that it was the first ever made! So that pretty cool!
