Tower of terror ride12/6/2023 you see the entire hallway vanish into the 5th dimension just as the towers did, all except the window which twirls in a vast star field until morphing into the one from the show intro and crashing to pieces falling into oblivion. The zapping of their out of place dimension begins to noticably effect the hall as the lightning zips up and down the doorways. Suddenly they are zapped and fade like in the intro. The ghosts of the passangers appear before you doing what they did as they got zapped. First stop a haunted hallway where through the magic of fiber optics and peppered ghost (maybe) you get quite a show. The ride itself begins by surprising you, the door in front of you is only part of the shaft, instead you see it all moving before you. the doors magically open to an empty car giving the appearance that its the same car and the people have vanished to the other dimension. You move deeper and see the doors to the shafts, the elevator motors and the dial showing only 12 floors (obvi there are more by one look at the tower but there was a superstitious omission of floor 13 in many buildings of the time) as the cars before you go up you see the dial go up and the engine zap and sparkle until finally down it goes with a thud. Everything down here looks evil/industrial, with furnaces like angry faces ala roger rabbit ride. after they disappear withe the passengers, an elevator drops empty freefalling in open air.Īfter the preshow its down to the basement where the only operating elevators still stand, the service elevators. You are informed you will star in your very own TLZ episode and the background about the mysterious vanishing of two elevator shafts on the front of the building and the surrounding rooms. notice the sudden scene change and how he doesnt appear again for a while). Everything up until "This as you may notice is a." is from the episode flawlessly integrated. You see an episode introduction by Rod Serling and a dubbed over voice (its a scene from an episode edited to have the elevator in the back instead of a US map. A bolt of lightning flashes and an old tv flips on with the intro to the show. The intense scary feeling continues as your morbid hosts welcome you inside. Next is the library where you see props from the TLZ show. Its all set up for them but they seem to have left in a hurry. It's designed to look like a crowded lobby with one huge upsettingly missing ingredient: people. They are complimented by their age and poor quality creating an abandoned feel even when the queue is full. The music is full of jazz and happy songs that put an ironic eeriness in the room. you can also see objects from the last day of operation for the "Hollywood Tower Hotel" check in books with the 1939 date, rancid looking coffee/stains, unfinished games, cobwebs all over, mysteriously turned on lights as if to welcome you, as well as period lobby music. In the lobby the tale starts immediately as you see that the elevators have suffered some accident, closed off and dented. From the intricate yet derelict grand lobby to the library stuffed with TLZ trinkets, to the basement ride and giftshop its all perfect. There is absolutely nothing about this ride that isn't a themed part of the story or hokey looking. Is there an example of a perfect ride? This may come close.
