Tower of Terror Drop Tower Dark Ride | BEST Version of Tower of Terror Out There! Walt Disney World

[@EvaneLunestra]

What made this ride over the top is that it wasn't just a normal drop ride. There was Disney's element of special effects, but the idea to move the entire elevator to another section of the building for the drop was unheard of. When it debuted 30 years ago, it amazed me. I'm glad it's operating to this day.

[@J_Ramir3z]

There’s no way this ride debuted 30 years ago? Didn’t it open 18 years ago well the one in Anaheim?

[@EvaneLunestra]

​@laboy14 This is the original Tower of Terror in Florida. Wikipedia says it debuted July 1994. All this time I hadn't been able to try though I did go on the one in Anaheim (which sadly isn't exactly the same but close).

[@tehbesst]

florida's version came first, and it debuted in 1994. all other variants came out later

[@metallicnole4514]

I don't do drop towers, but I make an exception for this one. ToT is amazing

[@brianj959]

Still one of the all-time greats! I rode it about 20 years ago for the first time and was transported to another dimension of joy.

[@kothpcy]

It's funny how the workers stare down everyone at the door when it's closing to make them even more scared, lol.

[@AaaaNinja]

The first time I rode Mission Breakout the worker told us it was time to start crying. I didn't do my research before the ride to know what kind of a ride it was so it was definitely a huge surprise. I was crying and my legs were shaking at the end lol. And I even kept having flashbacks that night that made it hard to sleep. And then two days later I went on it again! I still get really scared while I'm in line to do it again but I'm fine when it's underway, I don't know why that is.

[@NapapachSirithanakul]

Even though I’m watching this from an iPad, I can still feel the intensity of the ride because I’ve been on it before. What an amazing ride 😻

[@Infectedwithrabies]

I've been on it too but thank goodness I can't feel it because I hated the ride 😭 (I was a child and I hate long and fast drops)

[@LSW1869]

A truly unique ride experience. Everybody always gets off this ride in a good mood.

[@tb54321]

When my niece was about 6 years old we took her to WDW. She wanted to try this ride and so I went with her. I was so nervous about taking her - afraid I was going to traumatize her. After the first ride, she begged me to go again right away. Luckily there wasn’t a wait at that time. We ended up going about 5 times in a row. It would have been more but I had such a massive headache by my fifth time I just couldn’t take anymore!

[@IAteYourHotdog]

dang i wish i could go that many times i wanted to go again after the first time but it sadly shut down before i could go again

I have ridden the Paris tower about 100 times lol (I used to have an annual pass to the Paris park when I lived in the area)

[@LifeOfTheParty-zf5bi]

I rode this ride when I was younger like 5 or 6. And it scared the heck out of me, and I told myself that I’m never riding it ever again. Looking at it in a video now it doesn’t seem too bad.

[@jude2433]

I rode it at the same age back in 2003 and thought the same thing. Turns out it is actually worse hehehe.....

[@Shewas-kathybates]

I rode it as a 24 year old it was that bad 😂 but I'd do it again! This is my only expectation I hate drop rides

[@mariah_ora]

That was like me and Expedition Everest but now I love it

[@lilliantaber8335]

Same..

[@MichelleGenderbendM]

I rode this ride once. Of note, between each seat, there's little metal bars meant to separate them visually, and also for you to hold onto. It doesn't do much good to hold onto them though - when you're falling, the elevator is being pulled down fast enough that you simply cannot hold yourself to your seat. Of course, that just means Disney nailed the terror part - even when you know that the ride is functioning safely, it's still terrifying to feel like you aren't in your seat when you have a seat belt holding you down.

[@elleiskenough]

I held onto my seatbelt instead. My eyes were mostly shut. Didn’t realise there were metal bars to hold onto 😂😂

[@USMCbratt]

I was one of the first people to ride this when it first opened. We had so much fun. Aww, those were the days!

[@walkthataisle]

I rode this before the opening and therefore was before you in riding it.

[@MaleOrderBride]

Was this back in the 70s?

[@kingchrisa4188]

So happy I went on this ride on my senior trip for the first time. Definitely worth it

[@daxoze]

Best ride at Disney World. The special effects, the setup/story, the ambiance of the queue/basement, the ride itself are all perfect. I can't believe this ride is 30 years old, it holds up so well.

[@RickyIcecubes]

This brings back so many memories. I rode this in the summer of 1995. I think it might have been brand new that year.

[@mrgroosumthasandman8046]

I road this when i had just turned 13 back in 96, it had only been open for 2 years! I remember everyone talking about How revolutionary it was and still is! Definitely in my top 5 and I'm a coaster nerd! Hope disney doesn't destroy this beautiful Masterpiece and turn it into something else like some rumors I've heard. I highly recommend experiencing this at least once!

[@luvvsolana]

i was a little scared to go on this since it was my first time. but i ended up loving it. honestly i feel like the drops are pretty smooth and not as hardcore as i thought it would be.

[@Bamilotang]

I want to try it now😂😂. I went on spaceMountain but not this one yet.

[@StevieB93]

I rode this ride once and I can’t do it again. The drops get me all the time 😂😂😂

[@Tyler-rf9tj]

Y'all should definitely ride the Tower of Terror ride in Tokyo DisneySea and see how it compares.

[@pabloblocc]

The story there is definitely better imo, but there’s only 3 drops which make the ride a bit underwhelming. But there is a limited version that runs around January to March every year which makes the ride a lot scarier and thrilling.

[@MP-hi8dp]

My daughter (7 years old then) and I got the chance to ride this 8 times in a row. All rides shut down because of big storm and most people left the park. We sat on the floor for 20 mins where they play the twilight zone movie. Ride opened and there were only about 10 people waiting. :-) Off and on 8 times. So fun

[@benabner6257]

1:12 so cozy and comfortable

[@EquestrianKendall]

This just brought back a memory of mine, so, I went to Disney world with my family and I was like " mom can I go on tower of terror with you?" and she said "you sure?... Okay" then we got in the line and I wanted to be in the back but we were in the front on the left side I was next to my mom and sister, and brother, then we went to the ghost part and it dropped and I screamed my heart out and I didn't know there was a bar to hold on to and I was holding in to my seatbelt during the drops. Then when the ride ended I was balling my eyes out and my mom said" did u hold on to the bar? " and I was like" there was a bar?! " then my mom started laughing and said" what were u holding on to?! " and I said" ...... my seatbelt" and I never went on it again lol🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@elleiskenough]

I did the same! I held onto my seatbelt the entire time 😂

I rode this ride twice it was really fun. The first time my friend got really scared and she wanted to get off. But we convinced her to come will us the second time.

[@marinadiaz1762]

I can’t believe this ride drops and all there is are regular seat belts. No bars or or nothin holdin you in place

[@sofietje1055]

Do you know if they check the seatbelts before the ride?

[@AgeCreationTutorials]

@@sofietje1055 Yes, they do. The ride can't start if any of the seatbelts aren't fastened correctly.

[@sofietje1055]

@@AgeCreationTutorialsAlright! I already thought so but I didn’t see it in the video that’s why I asked. Thanks :)

[@StevenZepp-z5m]

They use to have bars but then changed to seat belt. I like it better with the seat belt because you get more air time

[@StoneyBlayzen]

I got the luxury of riding this today with no idea what i was getting myself into and had an adrenaline filled experience. First ride to ever give me a falling experience like that ( i dont ride rides im poor here on the boss's dime) ive ever been on and now i hope it wont be my last but probably will be the coolest one to beat

[@alfamale9555]

Just love everything about TOT, theming, set, ride, effects amazing

[@80Samanda_the_retro]

I rode the one the guardians of the galaxy in California and I was freaked out on the ride.

[@TayWoode]

Is the drop sequence the same each time? In the Paris version it’s always different so you never know when it’s going to drop completely or stall or go back up. It also doesn’t have the part before entering the fifth dimension but there’s an extra floor that opens in front of a mirror where you all fade out of existence, plus there’s a little girl telling you to follow her and not to scream, and there’s a few different endings

[@RittaKelly]

Yup, this one has randomized sequences

[@jessicarechani875]

Nope, never again I will go on that ride. This one terrified me of free falls to this day

[@tmalone2530]

I rode this for the first time in 1997; I was 8 years old. I was terrified out of mind and it had nothing to do with the ride itself, it was Disney’s ambiance and creativity. I was frightened beyond belief.

I hate it when they get rid of the classic rides. Sometimes there is an improvement when they update a ride, but some rides are just iconic and should be maintained. I consider tower of terror to be iconic. It’s up there with haunted mansion and splash mountain. And I love that each park has a variation of the ride that is different, so that makes it unique to each park, but I hate when they completely rip it down and re theme it.
