As someone who is not a fan of Guardians of the Galaxy, I wish that the Tower of Terror would go back to the Twilight Zone theme. I got into the original show thanks to that ride.

The Tower of Terror tv movie is pretty good and still holds up. I think it's a testament to the storytelling in Disney parks that the backstory of a thrill ride could work as a whole movie.

[@bananonymoussupreme3345]

[@mynameiskrysta]

7:15 Every time somebody mentions the cable attached to the vehicle they describe it as “weightlessness,” however this isn’t true. If the product was weightlessness (aka zero Gs) then gravity would be all that’s necessary, but zero Gs tends to be more fun than intense. What they wanted is called _ejector_ airtime (or negative Gs) which is much more intense, but isn’t called weightlessness anymore, cause it actually weighs a negative amount

I've never been on The Tower of Terror but when I heard the ride was being replaced by the Guardians of the Galaxy. I was worried that I would never get my chance to ride The Tower of Terror. Luckily for me this change was only for California. So someday this year I need to go and finally ride The Tower of Terror.

[@thedisnerdz4367]

They should never re-theme this attraction. I do agree that, with the new CBS Twilight Zone, they should do an episode about the "Tower of Terror", and maybe update the ride to include some tie-ins with that, but that's as far as it should be taken. While Guardians: Mission Breakout! is phenomenal, the original ToT shouldn't be messed with.

[@richardperhai8292]

Piece of trivia ... before entering the 5th dimension corridor there was supposed to be an effect (cut for time and budget) where the car seemed to be flipping onto its back. So traveling through the corridor you're supposed to be looking UP at the sky, which opens up and swallows you. If you look to the sides, you'll notice all the lamps and signs are indeed hanging sideways to match this cancelled effect.

[@happychimpy]

I remember going on this as a kid (with the lap bar, not the seatbelt) and being too young to know what the Twilight Zone was other then hearing the name before, it did such a wonderful job portraying the fear of the unknown and letting your imagination take it from there. As a little kid, I was terrified and still get creeped out thinking about the ride today, something I can't say about pretty much anything anymore. To the fat woman who sat next to me and my sister causing the safety bar to be far, far away from my tiny legs, I salute you for instilling in me true, "holy crap I'm in actual trouble here" fear for twenty seconds.

[@PorchPotato]

Yep, as a scrawny little kid years ago, I was 100% convinced I was going to slip out and fly into the air and die. Incredibly scary. Honestly as an adult I still don't quite understand how it was safe and no one ever got hurt. It was interesting to learn in this video that they replaced the bars with actual seatbelts, so maybe it wasn't completely safe?

[@gwenerator7288]

I love the soundtrack for ToT. It’s so melancholy.

[@actual.lizard7804]

I absolutely loved the Twilight Zone and the Tower if Terror!! I was so sad when they changed it to the Guardians of the Galaxy ride :/

[@gissneric]

Gotta admit, the Guardians was a better ride overall. Way more drops.

[@actual.lizard7804]

gissneric I agree it’s a lot more thrilling, but I also don’t like that about the new ride😅My friends and I used to go on the Tower of Terror a whole bunch of times. When we went on the Guardians of the Galaxy version, we could only go on it once before feeling sick! I totally get what you mean tho

[@YuukiTakemoto1996]

I like the GOTG ride because it plays Star-Lord's Awesome Mix, but I miss the Twilight Zone theming too.

[@gissneric]

@Trainking productions 🎄 yeah mission breakout is racist

I remember going on this ride in 2007 and my Mom would literally hold us down when we were dropping. My mom still talks about that memory to this very day.

"To Serve Man" is my favorite episode of The Twilight Zone. I would love that.

[@HobbesDeutschJr]

Can't imagine they'll pull the sponsorship just before the new tv show. You can't buy publicity like that !!! Well, YOU can't, but Disney probably can. Anyway, if they would develop the story line a little more, it could be more specific about why it all is happening. They could put it at the end, just like an episode of... The Twilight Zone.

Thank you for always being epic!!

[@kayakb]

I went on a "Backstage Tour" of the Tower of Terror last fall when I was a cast member, this is a very well researched video! I learned a little bit more than this video, but that's some backstage Disney magic I won't spoil. ;) I will say that the themed cast training room is super cool! And, in the break room you can hear the elevators moving!

[@ExpeditionThemePark]

I did the same tour 😀

[@PhilTheHappyWanderer]

The ride vehicles are always very impressive. Honestly one of my favorite rides at Disney World. So cool to see such an in depth look at how it works and what almost came to be.

[@213dreamingstar]

I remember the first time I (tried to) go on the ride, I got freaked out by the pre-show and had to leave through the regular elevator. Now it's one of my favorite rides. I do miss the excitement of only the seat in the back row middle having the seat belt and being considered the jump seat, instead of all of the seats having the seat belts.

[@212Elevators]

In 1995, the concept has one medium drop first, then one small drop, then it shot to the top, it dropped about a foot down (In 1994, it inched down), then the doors started closing and it dropped all the way down.

[@LaurensTravels]

The theming of the queue mixed with the creepy twilight zone storyline makes this one of the best rides at WDW for me. I like the guardians layover at Disneyland but nothing beats the original.

[@ToastAbrikoos]

When the Tower of terror opend in DLRP, I was introduced to The Twilight zone. (I heard about it when episodes on tv mentioned it, paid homage to the original series etc) And I was hooked. I loved it how that tv series could be so creepy yet no 'horror' or 'gore' and be that simple (I don't know how to describe it) Guardians of the galaxy is fun but I hate to see the twilight zone leave and that there are no references. Thanks for the video and the info.

[@ToastAbrikoos]

@brimar24 Yippie... ONE reference :(

[@TheVampireJulie]

Interesting part about the elevators being "remote control cars" because that might be how/why my dad and I got stuck at the end of the Tower of Terror in 2015! It may have gone off the track and had to be reset. The ride went on as normal and we moved a few feet forward to the exit at the end, but then it stopped. The Rod Sterling voice at the end repeated what it said a few times until they turned the lights on and the music off and we sat there for 15 minutes. We were offered another ride but had to go on another elevator to go on! It

[@jessicakleinberg7925]

My FAVORITE ride ever. From any park. If they retheme I will cry. This ride is perfection, and timeless, just as it is.

[@realGeorgelucas18563]

My first time on the ToT was in Paris in October 2019, days after the "New Dimension Of Thrills". I was there with my sister who loves this ride, but with the new ride profiles (we ended up getting The Shaft Creatures) meant it was new to her too. It frightened the bejaysus out of me. I had seen ride through videos before (and even Half Life 2 mods that recreate the ride), plus my dad and sisters recounting of the experience of the Florida version, so I knew the ride vehicle moves back before going up to the hallway scene. Not anymore! you go back and are instantly flung up and down before the hallway scene, then again before the 5th Dimension scene. But now it's 100% in the dark until you get the tiny slivers of light in the main shaft. For the ride scenes we saw, only the little girl was visible in the hallway, warning us not to scream or "they" might find us. Interestingly enough, although the Twilight Zone is said to be "the Fifth Dimension" throughout the show, the French name is "le Quartieme Dimension", literally meaning the 4th Dimension.

[@davidaviles1754]

It's a good thing The Orlando Versions Stays Forever

[@wdgaminganddisneyhistory6024]

This is my favorite Disney attraction in Hollywood studios. One time, we entered the attraction, not thinking anything bad was going to happen. Of course, typical crowd. What made this certain ride unique? Well, it was because... while in the pre-show, whenever it said “The Twilight Zone,” some park guest said, “THE DEATH STAR!” Of course we had a good laugh. But then the unthinkable happened. We get on the elevator. We go to the first show scene. When we reach the one part, right when the lights pull to the opposite sides... poof! We disappeared into the literal Twilight Zone. Nothing but darkness. For a straight 20 minutes. Of course, after the darkness, came... very little light. The E-lights came on. We waited at LEAST 15 minutes. Then they announce, “Are you guys ready to drop?” OF COURSE! And these drops were very special! They lasted twice as long as the random ones! Once off the ride, we were taken backstage to ride again. This time, we entered a different elevator. One not normally used... by park guests. Of course, someone in the elevator asked, “Is it going to drop to?” We did another laugh. This next ride took us the same amount of time, and we took it. And guess what? That Frozen Fireworks show was going on! It looked so cool, riding Tower of Terror, WITH FIREWORKS!!! That was in 2014. I was born in 2004, and I’m now 15. I’m a huge Disney Nerd. Best memory of this ride. I love this attraction and all the other extinct attractions! Thanks for taking the time to read my comment!

[@YuukiTakemoto1996]

When I went on this ride in 2006, I _screamed_ when it dropped! Nowadays, it's one of the only drop towers I can handle. For some reason, Dr. Doom over at Universal wasn't as bad to 10 year old me, probably because it shot you up and gently fell instead.

[@sirstupifie4958]

You're taking a vacation from normality. The setting: a weird motel where the bed is stained with mystery. And there's also some mystery floating in the pool. Your key card may not open the exercise room because someone smeared mystery on the lock. But it will open....... the Scary Door.

I rode the California Adventure Tower of Terror with no spoilers beforehand. My dad wouldn't let me go alone (I was a full-grown adult at the time!) but he was the only one in my family who was willing to go on it with me. I know I would have been fine anyway, but I'm glad he went with me-- it was terrifying and it was fun to see my dad as terrified as I was

[@AlphabetSpagetty]

I use to live in a building that was once an old victorian mansion that had a really old lift with a grate door and it terrified me every time i used it because of the tower of terror. Just before I moved out the light broke in it so it would be pitch black inside which only made me worry that it was going to drop even more lol

[@ohmyboo97]

This is my favorite Disney ride, It's a must ride everytime I go. When I went last December, the bell hop asked for 3 passengers, so my mom, sis and I were went up to the front. He saw my sis was in a wheelchair, and he broke character for a second and asked me if she could transfer. I said yes and when she got up, he moved the wheelchair aside and went back into his creepy bellhop persona, it was great

[@Kai0nTheMoon]

Around 2008 I was part of the final group to ride the ToT before it was closed due to bad weather for that day. Upon exiting the gift shop, I turned to actually see lightening strike the top of the building, along with a huge cracking sound. How interesting it would be, I thought, if lightening were to strike while people were riding it, as depicted in the ride's pre-show, causing the "elevator" to drop, thus creating actual ghosts in the building! Of course this would require the guests on the ride to exit this realm of existence, but whatever, there's too many people in this world anyway.

[@dinocas420]

I love this channel, and somehow it's only getting better. So thorough, with awesome varied retro footage of promotional/inside out stuff. I'm learning so much, and I thought I already knew a lot about this attraction. Thank you.

One of my FAVORITE rides....I think they should keep it as is, the theme is GREAT, always enjoy looking at the different items in the lobby. They could change the drops to keep it fresh but the theme can stay the same.

[@coasterking4980]

Maybe for a 5th version of the ride, they pull a Falcon’s Fury and have the ride vehicle tilt forwards while in the drop shaft, heck maybe even holding you upside down.

[@alskndlaskndal]

This was great! One thing I wished you talked about, the music. It's so creepy yet nostalgic and creates the perfect feeling while you're waiting to get on the ride. Who decided on the music and how did they create it? Were they influenced by "The Shining"? Two other things: -I had no idea some of the antiques were real. That's really cool. -Disney REALLY loved Gilbert Godfried in the 90s.

[@coastaku1954]

Seriously one of the best rides at Disney, it's a forceful drop tower with super immersive theming

I have ridden this ride my entire life and I am obsessed with it. It’s so good and the lap bar was a wild time. My mom would put her leg over mine to keep me in my seat. The seat belts were a great addition but a nostalgic part of me misses the lap bar, even though I was always terrified as a child😅

I only rode it one time as The Tower of Terror in California when I was 5 years old. It scared me so bad I never rode it again.

I hope I get the chance to go to Disney world and ride the Tower or Terror there.

[@ChicoDiamante]

May they never retheme it because this ride is absolutely flawless. It really is such an amazing immerse experience that once you walk through those doors you are truly in the Hotel. If they do retheme, I could see it be based on Alien.

[@emanuelrivera8048]

I got the memory maker and rode this ride about a week ago, and wow the video they include for riding this ride on your visit is amazing and well worth the price, you get to see yourself across the fifth dimension and also watch a clip of the elevator nearing the top, this video and the seven dwarfs one are totally worth it!!!

[@mercurialmoose5006]

Finally got to ride both the Tower of Terror at HS and Mission:Breakout at DCA. I definitely liked the darkshow aspect of Tower of Terror, but found the drop shaft portion to be quite a bit shorter than Mission: Breakout. The whole theming of Mission: Breakout just made it stand out way more for me that Tower of Terror. My hope though is with the new show coming out, that Disney will invest in updating the dark show portions

[@Redcanadianmoose]

I rode this as a young teen with the lap bar. It was my first “grown up” ride. It introduced my love of drop rides. I can’t handle coasters because of motion sickness from the turns, but drops, don’t trigger it. Any theme park now, the only big rides I’ll do is whatever the parks drop ride is ❤

The theming and my teenage brother scared me so much in the queue as a kid that I chickened out (and so did he). I will be very disappointed if DW's version is converted to something else. That said, I'd also buy a ticket immediately if I found out it was being converted.

Love your channel, I have a suggestion I know I would like to see. Growing up in the Midwest I spent my childhood going to “paramounts” kings island. It’s now owned by cedar fairs, and feels like a totally different park. It would be cool to see a video on the demise of the paramount ownership of several theme parks. Otherwise keep doing what your doing, I love em!

[@AnaxErik4ever]

You'd never catch me on this ride, not because I am squeamish about watching scary movies mind, but because I hate the "stomach in mouth" feeling sudden vertical drops give you. Still, I was really sad when the California version of the Tower of Terror closed and was re-themed to Guardians of the Galaxy. That is one of my least favorite Marvel properties because of the aggressive shipping between Star Lord and Gamora in the movies, not to mention the fact that the enormity of their situation is NEVER taken seriously (Damn you Starlord! Your mix tape isn't even that good.)

[@stefanied3219]

Noooooooooooo I love love love the attention to detail in the landscape, architecture, and lobby... like, I didn't know that I wanted a veranda and loved architecture as a whole. Omg the pond in the front with the beautiful tiles and art deco accent lights are to DIE FOR! Also, the movie deserves a little bit more attention because it is messed up for what it is, coming from Disney, so it gives me the giggles super hard. And the cast! But seriously..... the interior/exterior design and execution is *to die for* lol The ride deserves an update of love; upgrading effects.... I mean, it has had to carry that park, along with rock'n roller coaster, for sooooooooo many years because of how 'meh' that park was (I haven't been since star wars land was added, so idk if it helped any). So with that being said, that is why I believe that it shouldn't be rebranded with a new IP. Hell, great time to use the marvel license, buy more thrill rides, slap hero logos on them, and connect it to whatever 'studio' land is called at the moment and $$$ 🤷‍♀️ more thrills, more IP whoring, and the pre-teens/teens of the family vacation will stop complaining about how boring that park is, just saying 😂🎉❤

I am a huge fan of the Twilight Zone. I had to wait 23 years to ride this just this past December. It's a great ride. The staff at WDW told me they weren't going any where and the ride would continue. I hope they keep the Twilight Zone theming.

[@bigboy8998]

Yeah Buddy! A new video and a great one, I haven’t been on tower of terror but hopefully I can go on it when I go to Disney at the end of March. Keep up the great work!

I love it when I find Some Jerk with a Camera references on other videos.

[@killeda_gtr]

deal with it lmaooooo

[@taylorward3773]

I love this ride but I absolutely hate going on it!

[@SuperEnthused]

I wanna see those hand prints! I love that imagineers care about wonder and mystery, not just shock value. Why u so good at this?

[@melasnexperience]

Great video! Also, that info about the lap bars explained why my one (pretty thin) friend on my 1999 class trip thought she was going to fly out of her seat. She probably was!

[@drvcul4ura997]

When the ride dropped I acc felt so unsafe and I gripped onto the side bar. To make matters worse I was sitting at the front bawling my eyes out and so was the rest of my family; my picture is so funny tho

[@sabrefieldcopyright1235]

Okay thats it. I have to subscribe. Every tower of terror video ive seen leaves out the movie. You sir, are a gem!

The next expedition Hollywood studios episode should be on star tours and it should be released on May 31st (the date of the opening of Disneyland's galaxy's edge)

You want him to wait over two months before posting again?! :(

[@rebeccageiger9110]

I love this ride! The first time I went on it it was so exciting! Adding the random drops was also a great idea. I love spooky stuff so whatever they do with it I hope it stays themed horror or gothic. Also, I hate that every ride is now based on a movie. I liked a lot of the old ones without a movie tie in.

[@johnphazzleton]

Brilliant ! My favourite video you have done !

[@tannermcginn7330]

I've ridden both U.S. Towers of Terror, and both were a huge let down... I'm booked to go to Disneyland Paris very soon, and I can't wait to be "let down" again by their Tower! The Florida Tower is my go-to since I live in Alabama. If they re-theme that Tower, I will seriously cry angry tears. It's one of my all-time favorite rides. Based on my favorite show. Disney needs to realize when to just let a great ride remain and do its thing.

[@sleepink.]

Hey, I’ve been really busy with school and work but I finally got to catch a video. Can’t wait to catch up with all the great vids

[@KingOfGaymes]

I love the tower of terror but I’d be kidding myself if I didn’t say that guardians looks so much fun.. like the screens and 3D, it makes the ride look so much bigger and extravagant. Like you’re legit IN the story, not just looking at it. Plus I love that the scenes change with each drop and has a story going on rather than TOTs just “haunted elevator” cuz after the ghosts appear, the drop ride is just like a normal drop ride, there’s no themeing in the actual drop part. We just get a nice view of Disney 😂 but if they rethemed TOT to have different things going on during the drops like idk you see the ghosts more or Rod Serling shows up as a ghost, maybe hints to famous twilight zone episodes? Just something during the drops pleaseeee Disney

[@missgfaulkner]

lost count of how many times i’ve been on the florida ride, it’s my dad’s favourite disney ride and it’s up there with my favourites too!

[@SplorinRyan]

Well done Sam, I really enjoyed this one!

My Fave ride at Disney followed by the Original Test Track! Can't wait to see the new Gaurdians of the Galaxy coaster and Tron coaster. Last time I went they were still building Everest.

[@gabew4188]

I really hope they don’t change the Orlando version to Guardians of the galaxy

[@chrismaxwell6192]

Gabe w Guardians is going to Epcot.

I Love the Twilight Zone. Years ago I went on this ride, and I never will again 😆 This ride scared me more than all other rides I ever been on.
