rollermonkey Posted April 16, 2006 Posted April 16, 2006 The opening is supposed to be during September. I haven't heard the exact date yet. I've never been on a ToT anywhere, so I am looking forward to this one. EDIT: That link above says 4 Sep 06, and has a countdown. I've asked before but never gotten an answer: Does TDS do soft openings?
Wes Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 Goddammit, that's gorgeous! Easily my favorite of the three tower exteriors. Stupid OLC....
JT3000 Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 I'm actually not that impressed. It looks like a giant haunted mansion.... and it has an even weirder shape than DCA. The tiny windows and plain brown side don't help.
Rob562 Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 I'm actually not that impressed. It looks like a giant haunted mansion.... and it has an even weirder shape than DCA. The tiny windows and plain brown side don't help. Ah, but the thing is, they're *not* plain brown sides. It's *ALL* brickwork. This site has better pics with a lot of closeups of facade details: http://www.dlrp.fr/actulargeasia.php?id=47 And another couple pages with pics: http://www.dlrp.fr/actulargeasia.php?id=43 http://www.dlrp.fr/actulargeasia.php?id=48 Certainly looks like it'll be four shafts to me... And the large broken window feature looks quite interesting. -Rob
Jeezus Juice Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 Wow, they nailed it on this design. This blows away all of the other facade themes. I'm pretty sure there are only three shafts. The center arch doesn't have elevator doors. Instead there is more broken glass effect and smaller doors behind it. http://www.dlrp.fr/actulargeasia.php?id=48 This page has a close-up of the 3 arches. I'm totally going out there next year! -Don
BrownStreak Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 I don't like it! It looks too new- like it could almost be a current functional building somewhere. I like WDW's because even outside it has that old haunted look!
JT3000 Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 That was my other complaint. It's basically HM... without any of the creepiness. I realize it has a different backstory, but no creepy, no ToT.
turlaach Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 I love it! I think it's beautiful. I can't wait to ride it sometime!
BorisTF Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 Hmmm....some parts of that remind me of my old school
