Tower of Terror: The Mystery (English Subtitles)

The Tokyo DisneySea Tower of Terror Backstory video with English subtitles. Goes away completely from the Twilight Zone theme stateside. For more on this attraction, go to www.tot1899.com/english/

[@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.

[@Cielosta]

One day Disney should make a film adaptation of this attraction!

[@dseamovie5093]

+Liz Who doing it now... dont tell anyone...

[@fenderstratADHD]

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. :)

[@herusolares5320]

They made an audio drama of it. You can find it somewhere on KZbin.

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.

Me too. It’s more creepier

[@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.

[@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!

[@FnafFanProductions]

That's a good story plan kudos

[@glatios]

Creative!

[@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.

[@ljmerrittproductions3188]

i wish they would make an english dub of this

[@Seannyg88sComputerRepair]

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

[@mrturtle6529]

He's been in the elevator for 15 minutes, xd.

[@axehandle8582]

kingston ngu yeah XD

[@reneekyndra9771]

kingston ngu The way I viewed it is that he went to his penthouse suite to change clothes (notice how the outfit he wears going up is different from the one he was coming down in) and the idol activated when he reentered the elevator.

[@FnafFanProductions]

That must be a slow elevator

[@FnafFanProductions]

@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
