When I went on this ride with my family, we were sitting in the front row. Everyone in gantry lift was screaming, but not in an obnoxious way. You could tell everyone was having a great time. At the very end, when we're pulling into the door, that last scare got everyone including me! And as the doors open, a Cast Member popped up and scared us one last time! We were all laughing hysterically as we exited the lift. BEST FIRST RIDE EVER.
This is almost better than the original ride itself to be honest. The theming is ON POINT in the halloween version, which In my opinion, the original lacked.
The theming and story in this version of the attraction is SO STRONG! AH! Captures the same subtle creepiness and offputting scary vibes that the original tower had!
On every Halloween, they should make the cast members wear the bellhop costumes from what this ride used to be which was The Twilight Zone: Tower Of Terror.
Feels Ailen encounterish for the pre-show room don't you think? Also, They reused sounds from ToT. You can clearly hear it after the last drop. Tells me they never removed the ending.
Ricky Dupon that was an Easter egg cool Disney land did made the overlay right the different part is rocket didn't change the music so are cut scene are different or no
From someone that was a huge fan of TOT, for my first time being back after they remodeled I gotta say I love the change. The daytime ride lacked a little in my opinion, but the Halloween version makes it very enjoyable! Can’t wait for the next time I go back during the Halloween period!
Reminds me of TOT, honestly, great ride, love what they did with it, sadly I can never go to Disney during Halloween so I won't be able to ride. Still love this ride though, even the original version. TOT will always have a place in my heart, but this ride is still very fun
This might be me, but I feel with part of the way the ride is built up and the scenario, it kinda reminds me of Alien Encounter that used to be in WDW. I feel that this overlay could've had a lot of potential, and while it doesn't quite reach my expectations, it's still an interesting and exciting version of the ride.
Really can't wait to go on this ride at night time! The song was a bit cheesy but I saw where they were coming from. But in the end this really cools like a lot of fun.
This looks like SOOO much fun! I actually kind of wish this came to WDW, provided they can theme the bottom half of the hotel to look like the fortress, as if The Collector re-purposed the existing building and it's Elevator controls, so the top half doesn't obstruct the surrounding theming, and it's view from Epcot. They took a slightly scary out of date concept and made it both fun and exciting again.
Tyler Mann Well, aside from the Guardians ride coming to Epcot, Florida's Tower has a ride system that simply can't be made chaotic, which is virtually the entire point of the ride.
Tyler Mann im so sorry but it cant work there :( like the other person said in the comment section it cant be that chaotic like DCA’s Tower but cool idea though
This is my favorite ride out of all of the theme parks and rides it feels like your in a horror movie and the ride is super cool in my opinion the Halloween version is better than the original version I saw it yesterday and I didn’t even know it had a Halloween version so this made me so excited I hope I can go on it again soon!
thriller would've been a lot better than whatever that song was. it also would've fit into the usual music theme. i appreciate the work that went into this overlay tho, very cool
Does anyone know if I can find the song they used for this ride anywhere, all I know about it is that it's called monsters after dark and it sounds pretty badass
Thingamabob Lapetus idk I mean I've found ost for Mystic manor for very specific rooms and those rooms only so it's not entirely off the chart but given yesterday is it's first night of operation I really doubt Disney would give it out any time soon
The only problem I had with this is that it was only one monster, I hope that they add in more monsters to this because it’s called monster’ after dark And this is just my opinion
Rm16 I wholeheartedly agree. Or maybe even no music would be better story wise, maybe some distorted sound clips from Apheta and The Collector, I dunno.
Thriller and Monster Mash don’t fit the timing or the story line, the song was an original punk-rock song written by Tyler Bates for the Monsters After Dark specifically 👍🏻
Rm16 It's not supposed to. It's supposed to be more loud and, um, "hardcore" than the others. I mean, I might not like the song by itself, but it fits the timing of the attraction so well I don't really care.
WDW News Today I have a question I know some of the tanks are broken is the one that has figment in it I feel if it is Figment should at least have been in the backround
TBH I love the ride concept and story, but I feel that the song ruined the ride. It's too modern to feel like Guardians of the Galaxy, and I think it'd be funny if the song for the Halloween version was Mr. Blue Sky, because it's such a cheery and upbeat song in contrast to the dark and scary fortress.
Really? I really enjoyed the song in the ride. It's suppose to be a 70's punk rock song and it fits well with the story and the action in the attraction.
It's sadly never coming back in California. Also, it wasn't a crap version. It actually had some cool things to it. It definitely WAS inferior, but ultimately it still was good. Especially the mirror sequence. This, though...once the Marvel hype dies down this will be disposed of.
They did a great job at making the ride creepy as heck. If there's one thing I have a huge fear of, it's when a ride malfunctions
Hello There
Loved the Stan Lee cameo Rocket is just scrolling trough cameras and there he is

Sam Torres the last ride scene is so cool with the monster popping right at u
The theming and story in this version of the attraction is SO STRONG! AH! Captures the same subtle creepiness and offputting scary vibes that the original tower had!
The exit spiel at the top of the lift is amazing.
Groot: I AM GROOT!
Rocket: Watch Your Language!
I can't stop laughing about that! 😂😂😂
So do I?
I went on this yesterday and that was the one thing I laughed at the other times I was just scared to death lol
The best holiday overlay of an attraction I've ever seen! I hope it's like this every Halloween!
Same here! I kind of wish it would stay this way
I ain't got no time for sleep so I came here
On every Halloween, they should make the cast members wear the bellhop costumes from what this ride used to be which was The Twilight Zone: Tower Of Terror.
"Aw crap." -Rocket, 9/15/17 at ~10:15 PM
2018 version: Venom shows up and chases Rocket and Groot. I thought it would be funny idea.
When the overlay is much better than the regular version.
Also, the song is pretty rad, I would love to see this get into Itunes or elsewhere
Nocturne Fexy I agree. It's such an epic ride and song! Disney has another hit Halloween attraction on their hands.
Anyway, in regards to the attraction, all I have to say is wow! Can't wait to ride this in person.
Feels Ailen encounterish for the pre-show room don't you think?
Also, They reused sounds from ToT. You can clearly hear it after the last drop. Tells me they never removed the ending.
Ricky Dupon that was an Easter egg cool Disney land did made the overlay right the different part is rocket didn't change the music so are cut scene are different or no

You cut the BEST PART!! The jump scare at the end!!
Reminds me of TOT, honestly, great ride, love what they did with it, sadly I can never go to Disney during Halloween so I won't be able to ride. Still love this ride though, even the original version. TOT will always have a place in my heart, but this ride is still very fun
They need more monsters in multiple areas during the ride instead of one. Either way, this looks AWESOME!!! Better than the original in my opinion
Ricardo Saucedo yeah
Agreed! If the Monsters could somehow show up on the sides of the ride vehicle that'd be even more amazing!
This might be me, but I feel with part of the way the ride is built up and the scenario, it kinda reminds me of Alien Encounter that used to be in WDW.
I feel that this overlay could've had a lot of potential, and while it doesn't quite reach my expectations, it's still an interesting and exciting version of the ride.
+WayCool64 I actually said when we walked in "this feels like modern Alien Encounter" haha
This is so amazing I'm gonna ride this in a week so excited !
Truebeef85 It's a really fun ride! You'll definitely enjoy it.
Disney Lost Boys & Girls I loved mission breakout for the Premier Party so I will probably enjoy this !
Rode this yesterday.
Really can't wait to go on this ride at night time!
The song was a bit cheesy but I saw where they were coming from.
But in the end this really cools like a lot of fun.
its like the tower of terror spirit still haunts the building
I hope they release or put out the music for this ride on like itunes and spotify and stuff it's so good
This looks absolutely amazing, I can't wait!

Tyler Mann Well, aside from the Guardians ride coming to Epcot, Florida's Tower has a ride system that simply can't be made chaotic, which is virtually the entire point of the ride.
You stop that right now. No Guardians tower will ever be coming to Florida and this is a good thing.
FigmentsFan Well, a Guardians tower isn't, but a coaster is.
Tyler Mann im so sorry but it cant work there :( like the other person said in the comment section it cant be that chaotic like DCA’s Tower but cool idea though
I was JUST thinking how a coaster would be perfect for this kind of thing!
Rocket:"Remember if you see a scary creature scream real loud......and look delicious."
Me:😐😂
This is my favorite ride out of all of the theme parks and rides it feels like your in a horror movie and the ride is super cool in my opinion the Halloween version is better than the original version I saw it yesterday and I didn’t even know it had a Halloween version so this made me so excited I hope I can go on it again soon!
In a variation of the glitched scene in the main queue, you can see Yondu as a ghost wandering the halls
Who is here after Thor ragnarok ? I came for that dragon
This ride kinda reminds of the finale of Cabin in the Woods.
thriller would've been a lot better than whatever that song was. it also would've fit into the usual music theme. i appreciate the work that went into this overlay tho, very cool
I recently rode it and it was sooooooo good
This has been here since 2017?!? I surprise rode it today, and I have literally never heard one person talk about this overlay prior.
Does anyone know if I can find the song they used for this ride anywhere, all I know about it is that it's called monsters after dark and it sounds pretty badass
M4DH4TT3R FTW it's a song they wrote for the ride so I doubt u will find it
Thingamabob Lapetus idk I mean I've found ost for Mystic manor for very specific rooms and those rooms only so it's not entirely off the chart but given yesterday is it's first night of operation I really doubt Disney would give it out any time soon
The song is out now on iTunes and Spotify if you’re looking for it
Tucker Stosic thx fam
I was here for horror night I loved this ride it was my favs 👍👍👍👍
That was a realy good video thanks again !
This is the one I got to do!
2:43 EXCELSIOR
I find that only strange but downright mean of the rest of the Guardians , not comeback for Little Groot only Rocket. He did save them .
I want to steal that Rocket animatronic. Its so cute.
Went on this ride 4 times 2 day 2 night in the past 2 dats and it was my favorite!!!
quick question: why did'nt rocket bring any weapons to the tower if there's a bunch of monsters loose
6:13 how’s the monster? Spit that out it’s not candy!! Watch your Language
Do they seriously change the animation of the Rocket Raccoon animatronic just for this? That must take a long time
2:44 Stan Lee!
It was actually much better than the Guardians of the Galaxy Mission breakout
+Granite & Stone I think I still prefer daytime, but I like both
Was that Ultron?
I guess when Avengers Infinity War comes out, the visuals will change to accompany it?
In 2018 I got a cast member that was on point for after dark, I mean like after the ride was done was on the the floor with fake blood on her uniform
Cuz it's just like tower of terror right?
Yondu’s ghost makes an appearance here.
6:46 is that sound from tower of terror?
The only problem I had with this is that it was only one monster, I hope that they add in more monsters to this because it’s called monster’ after dark
And this is just my opinion
Well I thought it looked awesome haha
NEW GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY MONSTER AFTER DARK DISNEYLAND
What song is used in the background
Why is their only one monster. I always asked that when I first got on this refurbishment
how come they don't use the 2 other doors
I want to know what other monsters escaped
Called Monsters after dark - only has one monster.
Is this world or land
DisneyLand in California. Ur welcome and I just rode it like 3 hours ago and it's AMAZING!
Isaiah Sanchez luckey and thanks I wish I could go
Savannah Says It's a real fun ride! I went on it last night.
Anyone know the name of the song?
"Monsters After Dark"
5:22 did he really say aw crap?
Yes
And now to wait for the usual suspects...
Right? It's like oh my god shut up already.
John Quinteros So Kram, Josh, and the hipster with the fedora? Well, I already ran into Kram on another upload, so I'd say he's on his way.
This is how Marvel movies should be but with a little more horror.
It was really cool but the song was so underwhelming and weird. Thriller and monster mash would have been much better
Rm16 I wholeheartedly agree. Or maybe even no music would be better story wise, maybe some distorted sound clips from Apheta and The Collector, I dunno.
Bryce Bitetti song was. Weird and didn't fit
Thriller and Monster Mash don’t fit the timing or the story line, the song was an original punk-rock song written by Tyler Bates for the Monsters After Dark specifically 👍🏻
Theo Sturm I would much prefer those two songs than monsters after dark, that song is garbage and does not fit in with the other songs in my opinion
Rm16 It's not supposed to. It's supposed to be more loud and, um, "hardcore" than the others. I mean, I might not like the song by itself, but it fits the timing of the attraction so well I don't really care.
I actually didnt really like this version much, it feels kind of "empty". I liked the original version more with all the characters and '70s music.
Who wants to see the giant monster blood guy in guardians of the galaxy 3, anobody. Like if you agree
The monster already appeared in Thor Ragnarok
Did Rocket said the f word in the ride?I thought Disney doesn't allow swearing in their parks or attractions.
+The Skull & Spooky Channel he didn't
WDW News Today yeah by watching the video again he said "Not" you.
WDW News Today I have a question I know some of the tanks are broken is the one that has figment in it I feel if it is Figment should at least have been in the backround
The Skull & Spooky Channel No he said oh c--- when the monster came
On rock n rollercoaster the sweet emotion track still says “shakin your a**” so I guess it’s allowed to a certain point
Eh, this looks ok. I would probably try this only once. But I would try it.
ello
TBH I love the ride concept and story, but I feel that the song ruined the ride. It's too modern to feel like Guardians of the Galaxy, and I think it'd be funny if the song for the Halloween version was Mr. Blue Sky, because it's such a cheery and upbeat song in contrast to the dark and scary fortress.
That would have been awesome. Or Thriller
Really? I really enjoyed the song in the ride. It's suppose to be a 70's punk rock song and it fits well with the story and the action in the attraction.
Yea Thriller would've been amazing but it just doesn't sound like a GOTG style song honestly.
Nah man... use the Candy Man song. (From Willy Wonka)
So...that was something. Can we have TOT back yet
TheMouseSpot You want Tower of Terror? Go to Disney World then. If you want the crap version that DCA used to have then go to Paris.
TheMouseSpot come to wdw. We have a better version with a better queue
TheMouseSpot no are u nuts
TheMouseSpot it's not coming back anytime soon
It's sadly never coming back in California. Also, it wasn't a crap version. It actually had some cool things to it. It definitely WAS inferior, but ultimately it still was good. Especially the mirror sequence. This, though...once the Marvel hype dies down this will be disposed of.
