Tower of Terror: The Mystery (English Subtitles)

[@Dragonrider1227]

Someone said this actually sounds more like a Twilight Zone episode than the actually Twilight Zone version of this does and I agree. They put some serious thought into this one's backstory

[@japotak99]

Dragonrider1227 nope. This is some gay anime shit

[@christineking8183]

Just hearing Hightower scream at the top of his lungs in the elevator with Shiriki Utundu made me feel sorry for him even though he was considered an antagonist (well former antagonist. He later became good as mentioned in the Wikipedia.).

[@fenderstratADHD]

Why was he an antagonist?? I thought he was good

[@PlayAlongEternally]

He did confess his mistake in the ride so he ain’t an antagonist

[@654zns]

This deserves to be made into a movie. Or they could have included a mystery like this in the Kingdom Hearts video game, with Sora, Donald and Goofy helping Strang and Endicott solve the mystery. That would be intereting.

[@christineking2855]

And help find closure on the whereabouts of Harrison Hightower himself.

[@TehBellcarl]

I really like the backstory for this tower. It's very imaginative the way how they can set up the same premise as all the other towers but not have to use the twilight zone.

[@acethetics3878]

Where was Beatrice when the DCA tower was being shut down ?

[@markzilla6895]

probably dead, since it takes place in 1912, and Twilight Zone takes place in present day

They already made a movie about the tower at Disney World and that movie in my opinion sucked but I hope that they make a movie about Hightower. That would be awesome. :)

I really hope they make an S.E.A. Movie. But then again it would not be as much of a hardcore fan secret then so idk

[@redique]

I actually like this story much better then the other versions. Even though my favourite is still Hollywood Studios version because of the ride itself and the building outside, I prefer this story much better.

[@fenderstratADHD]

Me too. It’s more creepier

[@FigmentJedi]

They went with a new story because Twilight Zone is practically unknown in Japan. Also, it fits the American Waterfront theme better this way.

[@rfart419]

It sounds like the Japanese voice for Manfred Strand, the reporter, was the guy who voiced Trafalgar Law from "One Piece"; and it sounds like the Japanese voice for Harrison Hightower was the guy who voiced both Gecko Moria and Jimbei from "One Piece".

I remember I wrote a story about Harrison Hightower in Thanksgiving 2009 and the notebook where I wrote it is nowhere to be found.

Can anyone tell me what happened to the interactive website? It followed the two lead characters through the entire mansion and they were trying to find the artifact and/or what happened to Hightower. I loved playing it when it was up!

i was wondering the same thing. Even tho my Japanese is a lil rusty, i still enjoyed the website

[@rbdaviesTB3]

I love it too - the whole story it revealed was fascinating, complete with the journal entries and furtive presence of Smelding, Hightower's valet.

[@dominicbottini1983]

Dear Disney- If you're gonna overhaul ToT, don't do Guardians of the Galaxy, DO THIS

[@adventuresbyalex6511]

Dominic B Disney wants each park to be special in its own unique way. They want those who live in Orlando or Anaheim to travel to Tokyo to visit their park. Because Disneyland's Tower of Terror is being re themed to Guardians of the Galaxy, that makes Disneyland even more special. It also makes Hollywood Studios even more special too, because now it's the only Twilight Zone Tower of Terror in the country and the only other one is in Paris.

[@marktyndall669]

But for the haunted mansion the Tokyo and American one are kinda the same

[@mattkugelman4369]

@@marktyndall669 true but Disneyland Paris has the phantom manor

[@Cielosta]

@tamajinn Hightower did went up, changed his clothes before the idol 'zapped' him and sent the elevator crashing down. So I think "15 minutes" was correct. Anyhow, you should go on the tour for yourself if you want to know what exactly happened...I don't want to spoil the excitement ;D

[@FigmentJedi]

Well, cut 'em some slack. This backstory video probably WAS done on a low budget... I mean, besides Manfred and Beatrice, everyone's CGI... xD

[@brainstorm623]

Frankly, I’ve seen worse. And I’m not just saying that because I’m scared the idol will come to life and haunt me if I piss it off by criticizing its cinematic debut.

[@shinbaum71]

The Tokyo ride is actually identical to the Disneyland California and Paris rides, other than the backstory.

[@leeoommeessi2031]

I was yesterday in Disney Sea at Tower Of Terror.

[@eljayb991]

I wanna make a movie about this, but have the timeline be in the 2010s, two kids learning the story of Harrison Hightower III and Shiriki Utundu in High School and when summer vacation rolls by, the two kids find four more kids and they enter the hotel for fun, but when the curse of Shiriki Utundu comes to life, they realize they have to put Hightower's spirit to rest and get rid of Shiriki Utundu's curse!

[@ljmerrittproductions3188]

i wish they would make an english dub of this

[@shinkreytpuylap]

He has been in the elevator for 15 minutes, Too long... Man

[@FnafFanProductions]

Actually There's a theory that maybe Harrison went to his apartment floor to change because when the elevator falls his clothes changed and when he got back to the lift to go for the Party the idol activated either that or the Elevator is just slow lol

[@danamarvelstar]

Good point

[@Hyaenasopp]

The elevator was in early Stages because back then the Elevator had just been invented

[@rbdaviesTB3]

The complete ride experience makes clear that Hightower didn't meet his fate until after he'd reached his penthouse, placed the idol on display in the hall adjacent to the elevator, and changed into his nightgown and fez - hence the fifteen-minute interval between his last sighting and the moment of diaster at the stroke of midnight. The ride, once guests reach the penthouse level, shows the ghost/echo of Hightower's final moments - attired in his nightwear he mocks the idol, which then 'activates' and zaps Hightower with green lightning, before hurling him back into the waiting elevator, which then drops the whole height of the hotel.

[@FigmentJedi]

English site's been up since April. I guess nobody's really noticed though.

[@christineking8183]

I feel bad for what happened to Harrison Hightower even if he was a villain.

[@FigmentJedi]

Yup, they went with this story as the Twilight Zone was never popular/almost unheard of in Japan.

[@rfart419]

I agree.

[@Seannyg88sComputerRepair]

think about in the twilight zone story both elevators crash and all the people mysteriously vanish

[@danamarvelstar]

What a story!

[@Cielosta]

This story is much better than the Twilight Zone version. I wonder if they use actors for the characters in this video... Strang and Beatrice look too realistic to be made of animation. I really wish to get on the ride. It's very very good! What do ya think happen to Hightower???

[@GabyAleria]

[@tamajinn]

@NatalieGFanClub I have a feeling it was translated incorrectly and was supposed to be "15 seconds," which would make more sense... unless he went up, finished his cigar, sat on the can, clipped his nose hair and then was on his way back down when the idol decided that enough was enough.
