- *SPOILER ALERT FOR TOWER OF TERROR QUEUE*
WARNING: UNINTENTIONAL OFF-PITCHED MUSIC IN VIDEO.
I have a strong interest in elevators. As such, one would assume that I would be ULTRA-thrilled by a Disney attraction that features such mode. To be honest, this attraction is one of the highest-quality I've seen with the queue, pepper's ghost effect, wire-guided trackless AGV vehicles, 4-shaft loading procedures, and 2-way drum cabling. Despite this, the last one is the reason I'd only do this for a very good reason.
Though the overall speed of the ride itself is slower than the fastest elevator in the world, this traveling at 18 m/s and the fastest at 20 m/s, the cable system allows the cab to enter an extended negative g-force situation, and this acceleration is far faster and for far longer than anything I'd be comfortable with.
I STRONGLY appreciate the significant effort WDI has put into this attraction, and if you ever manage to travel to Disney's Hollywood Studios, this is a must-do and classic Disney attraction. However, I personally am not comfortable with the extended "stomach-drop" feeling that results from the extended negative g-force, hence why I'd do Rock-n-Roller Coaster (limited -g drops, all inversions +g) and not Expedition Everest (all forward drops prioritize -g). The thumbnail is outdated, as I do not intent on going on this attraction anytime soon.
For the elevator itself, it is unusual. I find it interesting that the "Chicken Exit" for an elevator-based attraction is also an elevator, called the "Express Elevator." It uses California-Compliant Adams Survivor+ fixtures, reminiscent of something seen on a Schindler. It serves 5 floors, with each floor seeming to serve as a maintenance access to each of the five showroom floors.

ELEVATOR AT 2:00
Dude, it's called the Express Elevator!
"Chicken Exit" is the funny nickname of that elevator called by some people! LOLOL 🤣
Mario: Wohoo This Way!!
I went down the chicken elevator while my husband went down the terror elevator with the others. That was in 1998. I beat him down!!!
This thing has a quite cool history, not gonna lie!😃
Why is it a chicken exit
That's the joke name for the line exit right before you get on the ride. Apparently, if you leave line right before getting on the ride, you "chicken out" of actually riding said attraction 😂 This elevator serves said "chicken exit."
Can you review the elevator at embassy suites in Huntsville Alabama? It’s the coolest elevator on earth
Did you see the video of it already? If not, look for it. If yes, I'm not sure how at this point...
I've seen cooler in Huntsville.
Agreed! Huntsville is LOADED with epic elevators that we all missed!
How many floors does this elevator serve?
5
How did you get to this elevator?
Wait the 2 hours in line, go to the Cast Member right before you get on the ride, and ask to not ride the main ride. They'll put you on this elevator.
What is on Floors 3, 4, & 5?
I believe they are service floors for the different attraction set pieces. This video should give more info: ua-cam.com/video/7iGZuA_LSk8/v-deo.html
How funny!
Bruh u shoulda actually went on the ride it’s really fun
That's why I put "I will next time"... 😆
NOW I want to go on it.
Yes, if I do get a video of the ride it will be a "bonus" elevator in the 2019 Vertical Misbehavior video.
Is this elevator cast members only?
Only for floors 3-5, not going down from 2 to 1
Why isn’t it cast members only going from floors 2-1?
@@wandacapstick5476 If you do not want to ride the main attraction, like in my case, this elevator takes you directly to the exit. The ride is located on floor 2, and the exit is located on floor 1
@@elevatorsof14s Is it down only?
@@wandacapstick5476 Effectively
This elevator doesn’t drop.
Correct! That's why they call it the "chicken exit"
The other elevators drop though.
