    When you’re walking down the street and hear the screams from the ride they’re actually not from the ride. There are hidden speakers on the boulevard playing scream sequences to entice guests with fear of the tower and get small amounts of adrenaline pumping before you actually ride the ride.

    Just another fact. The ride was originally supposed to be 200 feet high, but the Florida building limit is 200. If you go over that you have to put big red lights on your buildings so airplanes don't crash into them. Disney didn't want to ruin the illusion so the ride is actually 199 feet high.

    In the Florida tower of terror one of the props is one that guests can’t see well but Disney put it in anyway.
    On one the tables it shows that a lovely couple had just finished their meal. The woman’s side is all neat and tidy with a lipstick mark on her napkin. The Man’s side is all messy and he just kinda left stuff everywhere. Idk why, but I just love that prop so much

      Ella Wants to Be famous I throw down the flag of BS! If two pro players (or anyone who knows how to play) are stopped mid game, there are no positions possible to make the game never end. Okay, only one way... the two pieces left on the board are the Kings. And that would end in a draw.

  • @maetricks

    I've actually got 2 neat stories about this ride!
    1.) This is the only ride I've been through an in-show exit on before! It was quite a while ago when I was younger, so I didn't have a camera or anything to film it with, but it was certainly cool! Our ride vehicle stopped while about half way through moving through the hallway with all the Twilight zone stuff in it before you get put into the main drop elevator shaft. We just sat there stuck for about 2 minutes or so, then the lights came on. There was an announcement of the ride being down, and after about 5 more minutes or so a cast member came, unlocked the vehicle doors, and walked us back through the hallway and down some stairs to the exit. it was certainly a neat memorable experience! But I always wondered what happens if the ride gets stuck in a way that stops any ride vehicles in the drop shaft.
    2.) This one is more recent, maybe 7 years ago or so. I was just outside the queue with my 3 sisters and we saw a couple of "hotel workers" struggling with some luggage. The couple of us that noticed went over and asked if they needed help. They said sure, and all 4 of us picked up a piece of luggage and helped them carry it all inside. They led us through the hotel carrying the luggage a good ways, and after a bit we dropped it off, I forget where exactly. And the 2 of them thanked us, and then led us right to the front of the line. They were so nice!! Please be kind to cast members. I'll never forget that moment of just wanting to help someone out, and how nice and cool they were in return.

    My favorite element of this attraction has got to be the ambient queue music. They’ve added an echo delay to the 1920s recordings to create a disquieting effect. My favorite song that plays in the loop is the recording of “I Can’t Get Started With You” sung by trumpet player Bunny Berrigan. Thr original recording is fantastic, but the added echo effect makes the song so creepy - it’s incredibly effective!

    My favorite detail is just how massive the plot of land the entire attraction sits on. Talk about themeing. The ride has almost as much acreage as a normal hotel would. It really sets the scene when you have to travel a while through the hotel's grounds before you actually get to the building itself, tension mounting the whole time.

    Hey TMPvids, I think you don't know this but there is another hidden detail about Rod Sterling OUTSIDE the Tower of Terror. Once you leave Fantasmic, you have to go through the one exit passing the ride. If you look up by the glowing windows, you will see a man looking outside. I'm not sure if Disney clarified this, but I have a theory that the man is Rod Sterling.

      I like Guardians of the Galaxy, but it pegs me as something that doesn't have longevity. The Twilight Zone to this day is considered one of the best TV shows of all time. And while the remakes from the 80s early 2000s and current were not able to recapture the original's legendary nature, they show how much the show is still popular even today.

I watched The Twilight Zone every single day a couple of months ago and there is no story for this. I wish there was though.

      ... I gave the Dinosaur ride a nickname, I call it Feel like a Dry Martini. Since you are shakened well and not stirred. When I went there on OCT 30th, It ent down while I was in line. While I was waiting for it to come back on. I checked FoP was at 60 minutes and made a beeline for Pandora. Unfortunately a lot of other guests decided to do the same thing. So by the time we get there. The wait was up to 80 minutes. Since I had ridden all the other rides there except for spinning roller coaster and the tricera spin. I decided to wait in the line. For me before I rode on a Banshee. Kali River Rapids was my favorite. That would always be the first ride I would go to. Now I believe it is FoP for Animal Kingdom. For Hollywood Studios. I really like Star Tours and Tower of Terror. Alss a little side note. I use to be afraid of the Tower of Terror. I got over my fear this year. I even rode it twice. For Epcot I am going to say Mission Space Orange Side. Magic Kingdom. Splash Mountain is my favorite there.

    Hey TPM! Loved this video! When I worked at Disney World last fall, I had a friend who worked at Fantasmic! A lot of his coworkers were also trained on Tower of Terror before being moved to Fant. He told me the coolest fun fact that you can actually witness at night by the Tower of Terror! If you are walking along the Fantasmic entrance trail at night and you look at Tower of Terror from the side, you will see a window lit up with the silhouette of a man. This pays tribute to Rod Serling himself, as it is supposed to be him in the window. I believe it stays on all night! It would be on the tower's left side!

    Couple little secrets for true Twilight Zone fans: In the Library, I believe the one on to the right as you enter, are a couple props from the original Twilight Zone episodes. 1. On the table with the red lamp shade, notice behind and off to the side, you will see a pair of broken circular wire frame glasses..... From the classic episode "Time Enough At Last' starring Burgess Meredith. 2. Up on the shelves, near the ceiling, there is a "Red Devil Fortune Telling Machine" -- this is the one that William Shatner and Patricia Breslin use in the diner while their car is being repaired in the episode "Nick of Time".... Would love for Disney to put more little props like these through the ride.. i.e. a pig mask from "Eye of the Beholder"....."Talky Tina" from "Living Doll"..... the dolls from "Five Characters in Search of an Exit"..... the "Cook Book" from "To Serve Man"..... one of the paintings from "Midnight Sun"..... the old dented can from "Kick the Can".... the hat that the character wore in "Will the real Martian Please Stand Up? ...... There are so many!! Not sure any of these original props still exists, but would be amazing to find them. Or let Disney magic recreate them!! Any favorites you would hide in the ride?

      After the ride finishes and starts to move to the unload point, the Slot Machine from The Fever and the Spaceship from The Invaders can be found (Also An Invader can be found in the library.). Hard to see normal darkness but you can find videos with the lights on, making them easy to spot. Also I think the Cookbook from To Serve Man can be found in the library. Caesar the dummy from The Dummy can be found by the exit. The elevator has a plaque that says the last time the elevator was checked. Its number is 10259 which is a nod to the date October 2, 1959, which is the date The Twilight Zone first aired and was checked by Mr. Cadwallader, the sinister deal maker from the episode "Escape Clause." An envelope with the name of Rod Serling on it can be found in one of the libraries as well as another envelope with the name of Victoria West in the other library, a reference to the episode A World of His Own. Chalk marks can be seen on one of walls of the waiting area that leads from the elevator unload, a reference to the episode "Little Girl Lost". In Walt Disney Studios, this can be found in the upper level of the boiler room next to the attraction warning signage. Periodically the girl's voice can be heard calling out for help from the wall and from the radios around the boiler room; a similar version was present in Disney's California Adventure. A poster advertising "Anthony Fremont's Orchestra" is displayed next to the concierge desk in the lobby; Anthony Fremont was the young boy with god-like powers from the episode It's a Good Life who hated music. This poster was displayed in the photo gallery at Disney California Adventure.

    • @Adamguy2003

      One "TZ" prop that I'd love to see in it (Both because it's from my favorite episode, and because it would fit well with the curio seen in the Library or that clutter before you leave) would be one of the masks from 'The Masks,' preferably the skull mask that the grandfather wears in it.

If you're a big fan of The Twilight Zone (like I am) you can find items seen in episodes of the show in the library, like the fortune teller machine from "Nick of Time", Henry Bemis' glasses from "Time Enough at Last", the mini spaceman from "The Invaders", and much more!

    Has the tower of terror ever broke down while you were on the ride? Let me know!

      Never has, they do something to keep it from breaking down

      Something similar to that happened when I got off the Tower of Terror, I was shook.

      Yeah one time I was stuck on the elevator for a few minutes after Rod Serling’s return spiel, and it was kinda awkward.

      Once, the ride stopped for about two minutes during the part were it goes forward. None of the lights were on and it was pretty spooky.

    Favourite Disney ride of all time, along with my favourite Disney Park, although I’ve always wanted to go on mission breakout. Big marvel fan but I hope they at least keep the original tower of terror

    I'd loved seeing which hotel was a large inspiration for the ride - and the sight line from the Moroccan pavilion was ace! I always tried to line it up as intended when I'm there and your image was perfect. SUPER well done video!
