Twilight Zone Tower of TerrorDrop rideMinimum height to ride: 40 inches About Twilight Zone Tower of TerrorThe story takes place in the Hollywood Tower Hotel, an old hotel in Hollywood from the late 30's. As you pass through the overgrown foliage of the garden, you make your way into the once-abandoned hotel. Bellhops greet you and, while they "prepare your rooms", you wait in the library. All of a sudden, the lights go out as the old, black-and-white television turns on to reveal that "The Twilight Zone" is on. Rod Serling explains what happened in the Hollywood Tower Hotel many years ago, and that you, the riders, are "about to star in your own episode of... The Twilight Zone." As these words are said, the TV turns off as lightning is heard. The bellhop comes to take you to the boiler room, where you will ascend to your room in a Service Elevator. Just as the doors of the elevator close, a sinister look comes over the bellhop's face. "You've just crossed over into... The Twilight Zone!" Prepare for the elevator ride of your life! Up and down it goes. Which direction is next? It's up for you to find out, while this runaway elevator has been terrifyingly programmed to drop you 13 stories, at random, into the "Twilight Zone"! -- Last edited by Molly R [Update this description | Read previous versions] Photos from Twilight Zone Tower of Terror

Readers' Opinions
loved it, first time i was a little apprehensive because i didnt know when the drop was coming but after that rode it again and again - Rob Chandler Best drop tower ride in the World!! This version of the ride is 10 times better than the on at California Adventure. 12/10 - Will Chilcote This may be the best staged ride around. The stes and props are great and the folks running the ride are so "in charcater." The holding area is wonderful. Being dropped up and down in pitch black is pretty thrilling, too. - Christian Baggett The beauty of this attraction is the superbly realised holding areas and theming. The ride itself is good but not outstanding. It is a 'must see' though! - Mark Moore This is the best overall attraction at WDW. I don't go to the Studio very often, but when I do, I check in to the Hollywood Tower Hotel. - Rob McCullough Perfection. In comparison to many other drop rides, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror falls short in the thrill department. What it lacks in thrills, however, it makes up in storyline, special effects, atmosphere, and overall satisfaction. The attraction receives a Perfect review. The drop sequences are random, which can make or break the thrills. Regardless, you can ride again and again. If you only see this and Fantasmic!, you'll have gotten your money's worth from the park. - Joshua Counsil One cool thing about the Tower is that you can see it from Epcot if you look across World Showcase on the ramp leading from Test Track to Mexico. They painted it the same color as the Morocco pavillion but it's clearly visible. - William Clark
