    if anyone's curious, 1:09-1:15 is actually ripped directly from season 3 episode 8 "It's a Good Life." in the original monologue, Serling is in a generic room, and he's pointing to a map of the United States. naturally, all of the other lines in this pre-show are done by a voice actor doing a Rod Serling impersonation, but i find it fascinating that they ended up reusing an actual clip from the show and changing it slightly. though, showing Rod Serling in the pre-show does add to the idea that we're actually in an og Twilight Zone episode.
    the thirty second intro is also the intro for season four, which, despite being the most iconic intro for the whole series, was arguably the intro for the most obscure season, as it initially aired at a different time slot and all the episodes were twice in length, making it less popular than the other seasons.

    "Hollywood, 1939. Amidst the glitz and the glitter of a bustling young movie talent at the height of its golden age, the Hollywood Tower Hotel was a star in its own right. A beacon for the show business elite. Now, something is about to happen that will change all that."
    "The time is now, on an evening very much like the one we have just witnessed. Tonight's story on The Twilight Zone is somewhat unique and calls for a different kind of introduction. This, as you may recognize, is a maintenance service elevator, still in operation, waiting for you. We invite you, if you dare, to step aboard because in tonight's episode you are the star. And this elevator travels directly to . . . The Twilight Zone."

They came to the Disneyland Resort for a recent visit and I am currently editing a video of it for them. I was wondering if it would be possible for you to do a custom Rod Serling narration that was tailored to them. I think they would get a big kick out of it.

My mom thought nothing of it -- until the drops started. Halfway through the ride I look over and her head is buried into my dad clutching him screaming her head off. We all get off the ride. I'm still scared. My dad is pumping the air "GREAT RIDE GREAT RIDE!" My mom: "I will NEVER go on that ride ever again." Even when it made it out to California Adventure, my mom stayed true to her word; 1996 was the first and only time she ever rode it lol

    1:10 you can see where he was cut out and put infront of a different backround. Pay close attention to his left hand. He died before they made the Tower of Terror ride, so they took him from another episode and put him infront of a different background. It's hard to get the cropping exact. Originally, he actually said "This as you may recognize is a map of the United States" but they replaced the audio with a voice impersonator saying "Maintenance service elevator". You can also see him saying "map", but they switched to a scene of the elevator.

      Yes! The main building looks wider than it actually is. Also the Neon sign has been placed way too high. The wings of the tower that were supposedly destroyed don't go all the way to right below the sign, making it inaccurate for there to be elevator banks below the sign. In real life I wonder why there are elevator banks behind the sign? Logically doesn't make sense.
