The Tower of Terror Thread

sarahonpointe94 · 08-18-2008, 02:52 PM

69 years ago, 5 people stepped through the doors of an elevator and in to a nightmare. Now, that door is opening again, and this time, its opening for you. You are about to enter into... the Twilight Zone. And the Tower of Terror thread.

A place for residents of...the Twilight Zone... to discuss the DCA Tower and the 80's movie of the smae name as the beloved attraction

I'll start...
It is awesome!
It is themed perfectly and everything comes together great, the queue revs you up for whats to come and it is an overall great ride!!

This ride's been nothing short of amazing every time I go on it. Then again I could really go without a/the big group of girls that scream even before the ride starts. That's the downfall.

It's A Great Ride!!!!! I Like The Building Design Which Is Pueblo Deco. And The Movie Was Made In 1997. They Should Make A New Movie Using Our Tower Of Terror. Why, I Don't Know. What Is Your Favorite Part Of The Ride?

I nearly killed myself with my lanyard. I decided to watch it as we fell. Oops...Nearly came off my neck. I got it, but then when we stopped, 15 sharp metal pins came down upon my head...

Fun ride without a oin lanyard though!

My favorite part is the final drop, it gives you such a rush!!!!!

Sesshomaru-sama · 09-14-2008, 06:33 PM

The theme is amazing. One thing I've noticed is that, in the lobby, it seems as though people just stopped what they were doing and left the hotel, leaving everything where it is in there and never to return. Maybe the lightning was a cause to this? I love how that looks and all the detail made to look like an abandoned hotel with a pair of broken elevator doors, cracks on the walls and ceilings (showing the bricks), and the intense amount of cobwebs everywhere. It's amazing.

The ride itself is amazing. I feel as though I'm part of the "lost" episode of The Twilight Zone the whole time with Rob Serling's voice following us in the elevator as a voiceover. I love the special affects it has like making our images in the mirror disappear after a touch of electricity surrounded it and the walls converting to the night sky, like the show.

The movie is enjoyable. I like how they adapted it for a movie. The old lady always did creep me out.

Sincerely, a brother of a half-demon,

1997... Wow, I was WAAAAY off. Then again, I was born in '94. Srry. =D

Kileli · 09-14-2008, 08:10 PM

Not sure if this is obvious, but last time I rode it, I noticed that in the video, when the lightning flashes, it flashes at the same time outside the "window"

sarahonpointe94 · 09-20-2008, 08:37 PM

I love the entire ride, but the library is sooo awesome!!!!! It is creepy and dusty and claustrophobic, and when the lightning hits and the lights go out... Chills, man. Chills.

The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror is a very fun ride :D, I love how people freak out when the "elevator" starts shaking before any of the drops :D
