SharkTums Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 ^Yes, we're looking into that as well! Ok, sorry for hijacking the thread...um yes, Tower looks amazing! I can't wait to run between that and Journey over and over again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Eber Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Does anyone have official height stats. It looks like its in the 300 foot range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DATman Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I don't know, but i think it can be taller, cause they don't have to put a light up at 200 ft.(i THINK) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Eber Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Well, that's code for Florida I believe. Over 200 or at 200 equals pretty red light (like Epcot's wand). I just looked at the pictures again -- those sections could be 2 meter scaffolding...in other words each stair is up 6.5 feet SO, the top T section is roughly 60-70 feet high by itself. It could be around 200 ft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hattuchili Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Wow, that tower looks totally different to all the others. However, I like the design, looks great. I am very curious, how the Paris version will look like. --Sören Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaneymon Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 That tower looks awsome I so want to do go on it even thoe i dont like drop rides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Jack Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 IMO, without the Twilight Zone backround theming, this ride is going to be unique from the other towers the way Phantom Manor is unique from the Haunted Mansions. I believe that Disney-MGM's Tower of Terror will still take the cake, it's the original, it has a completely random drop sequence, its location at the end of Sunset Blvd draws you to it, its inside theming is spectacular, it has a very creepy and well-themed garden, it looks straight from the era it was supposed to. Now, Tokyo's Tower costs $190 Million in 2005, while Florida's Tower cost $140 Million in 1994. I used an inflation calculator I found on AOL Search which estimated that if the the original tower were to be built today it would cost about $180 Million. I'm always going to favor the original Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, it was "once" a Disney original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Eber Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Be careful though -- just because its 'the original' doesn't mean its better. Also keep in mind that Disney has spent all its r & d money in its first tower of terror and applied it to these last two TOT's. So, in fact, although the numbers come up close, in reality, the gap between the two could be significantly more. Maybe if they built a duplicate MGM today, it would only cost $100 million, that's now 90 million extra in new effects, construction and R & D. We could have something absolutely incredible on our hands that might blow away the competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Am BUMP-bump-A-bumping this up a bit here, since chat in the Disney Paris Studios' TofT is getting a bit 'sidelined' with this one.... Just helping out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollermonkey Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 ^Thanks! I was posting stuff about this one in the other thread! Robb, you were in DisneySea the other day, did you notice the crane that appeared to be between the parks? It seemed to be behind Critter Country from the TDL side.
