Walt Disney Studio's Tower Of Terror preview!

[robbalvey]

Does TDS's have a hallway?

Yup. TDS's is pretty much the exact same ride system as DCA's and DSP's, just with a different "paint job."

So, hopefully Paris' Tower is at least as good as DCA's. We're not yet sure if the drop sequence is the same.

 

After watching an onride video of the DCA tower I can tell that this is the exact same drop sequence.

^I'm glad! I trust that they didn't make the drops "weaker" as they did at TDS.

[Simba]

Nope it's not weak at all! the only thing that would be really cool is if they change it to be totally random like in florida, I guess that in 2017 they'll make a TOT mission II

[RIP Psyclone]

They've been supposed to do that at DCA for 2 years now. More drops would be good, but it does mean a longer line.

In the part when DCA's ride starts it goes backwards which was really awesome the first time I went on it. But then I remember the Florida version being a lot better. Do they all have the effect with the twilight zone door at the beginning like the one at DCA. And also is DCA's the only one that has like a one story drop before the big drop?

I thought this wasn't to open until '08?

Great pictures thanks for posting. After comparing this new attraction to the one at DisneySea the difference is amazing, almost embarrassing for Disney.

 

I find it interesting why they would spend so much money on the Tower in Japan and then pull this crap in Paris and CA. I mean the return on investment would seem to be comparatively the same or somewhat close. This is like comparing a Porsche to a Yugo.

 

Japan has raised the bar and I view this latest Tower as "barely getting by" for Disney.

 

My thoughts exactly.

are you sure you weren't in DCA when you took those photos? that looks JUST LIKE TOT in DCA!

Disney "raises the bar" at TDS for most everything because they aren't spending their own money, I think--the Tokyo resort is actually owned by the Oriental Land Company, correct?

I made a wallpaper for my desktop, if you'd like to use it too, here it is:

OMG, that is really cool! Thank you, it is now my new wallpaper.

[Simba]

Glad you like it

 

A friend who has a 16/9 (1680x1050) screen asked me for a wallpaper so I had to make a slightly different one:

[Zen Coaster]

Amazing wallpapers.

 

Thanks for those!

[Coasterlvr_nc]

Thanks for the wallpaper! it looks amazing!

[Simba]

You're welcome

 

Somebody sent me a PM to ask me for the photos in higher resolution, so here it is: http://magicvision.free.fr/TOTavt1er/index.html

True, but its preshow and theming are far superior to the other versions. Its drop sequence is definitely the tamest, but I always felt that was due to the restraining seatbelts they have. But all that could be changed in the future, with reprogramming of the drop sequences to possibly a more intense and random version.

[ECZenith]

Always good to see another Tower of Terror open up at a disney park. I like the fact that people can walk around all sides of the building to see all the detail.

[djtomlec]

great photo's and great theming also, this was one of the attractions that where still missing in the park.

[WildStangAlex]

Does anybody have a picture of this "Hallway" that everyone talks about?

I went back to the studios on Sunday for the last day of previews.

I took some more pictures http://magicvision.free.fr/TOTAvt1er_16_12/

Now that hallway seems really dumb to me. Why not make the hall part of the "Basement" then have the doors at the actual elevator?
