Hi!
It´s me Margo and today I´m gonna talk about The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. I will retell the parts of this experience, I´ll talk about the history of ToT and other things also.
There are 4 ToT´s in the world. ToT is in Disney´s Hollywood Studios in Florida, Disney California Adventure in California, Walt Disney Studios Park near Paris and a little bit mixed up version at Tokyo Disneysea in Japan.
Florida version:
This is the original ToT ride and it opened in 1994
It reaches top speed of 30.7 miles per hour.(49.4 km per hour)
Tower is 60.7 (199 ft) meters in height.

California version:
This was the second ToT as it opened in 2004.
Tower is 55.8 meters (183 ft) in height.

California ToT |
France version:
This was the third ToT as it opened in 2008
Building of French ToT cost 180 million euros.

Japan version:
This is totally a different ride because this ride has another story.
The building is different.
Ride is still almost the same.
Hotel is named Hotel Hightower

Japan ToT |
Typically are all ToT rides divided to 3 parts:
1. Corridor scene:
The elevator rises for a few seconds before coming to its first stop. The doors open to reveal a long, dimly-lit hotel corridor. There you can see the 5 ghosts of elevator passengers.
2. Fifth Dimension scene:The elevator doors close and the car continues its ascent.The elevator stops once more. The doors open to what at first looks like a maintenance room, but slowly transforms into a field of stars.
3. Drop sequence:Elevator starts dropping and rising and at least once doors will open and you will see the view of the park. Drops are controlled by computer. After a series of drops elevator returns to the basement and the ride ends.
So this is ToT. Now I wait for your thoughts about this crazy ride. Write down below to the comments what do you think about ToT and have you riden some version of it.
Till next time
Bye!
