The Theme Park History of The Twilight Zone: Tower Of Terror (Disney's California Adventure)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- The Twilight Zone’s Tower of Terror is an accelerated drop tower dark ride inspired by Rod Serling's anthology television series, The Twilight Zone, and takes place in the fictional Hollywood Tower Hotel. The attraction opened at Disney’s California Adventure on May 5th, 2004, and closed on January 3rd, 2017. In this video we take a look at the original concept for the attraction called Geyser Mountain and how it came to fruition at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the failure of California Adventure and how it lead to the Tower of Terror coming to the park and it’s eventual closure for its replacement, Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout.

I take no credit for any of the footage used in this video. Use the above links to view the full footage and give those videos the views they deserve.
I'm thankful it's still in Florida and paris.
I think many Disney fans are, imagine if they removed or changed the ToT theming? I think fans would go nuts at the news.
Theme Park History I can just picture the marches and riots already😂
Tons of fans marching down Sunset Boulevard but instead of pitchforks and knives it's Mickey shaped balloons and churros 😂
Theme Park History you should da a space mountain history vid, it would be really cool.👍👍
We will get to Space Mountain, working our way through the most requested videos but I promise Space Mountain is getting a video in the near future.
R.I.P the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at Disney California Adventure 2004 to 2017
Diego Coppin Wouldn’t it be funny if this happened plot-wise around Halloween?
Around the month of October, The Collector starts spotting things wrong with his tower. He soon is haunted by the five guest from the Tower of Terror, and through some kind of dimensional event, the 5th Dimension breaches the Guardians reality, and their only escape is to ride the Maintenance Service Elevator to the 5th Dimension and back. Best line to imagine would come from Starlord: “I thought it was just a tv show. I thought that The Twilight Zone wasn’t real.”
Maybe that’s just me liking the idea of something haunting and something from the past like The Twilight Zone, appearing in our reality. Having a comic book movie encounter something like this would freak them out, as they wouldn’t know how to handle such strangeness. Maybe I just like something like Serling’s The Twilight Zone touching the modern pop culture. It would certainly freak out The Collector, and help the Guardians (as well as freak them out as well).
Mission breakout can never cover this gem of a perfectly themed ride
It’s been one whole year since the ride has been gone😞😔💔
TimeTravelinc that’s the most ambitious crossover in history
F
This is such a gem of a small channel
Thank you so much Matthew, we appreciate the kind words.
@@ThemeParkHistoryit's looks like James wan knows all about it before work and James wan and Tim burton made it being called back in his own business life Ture life story ture and Disneyland before New Walt Disney world series finale season start show hollywood story of the day
I was born and raised in California, and I have never been to California Adventure. And now that Tower of Terror is gone, I won't ever go. I'll have to fly to Florida to ride this awesome ride.
The benefit of Florida's version is the randomized drop sequences makes for multiple rides.
It's been re-themed as Guardians of the Galaxy now.
Theme Park History The Guardians theme now also has a random experience every single time. As an avid disneylander I can tell you the ride is never the same
Megan Modjewski
I know that. Even if the ride is good, the exterior looks like trash. It looks like The Tower of Terror was swallowed by 'It's a Small World'.
Sir Isaac That's true It has stairs for what?
And I also have to go to Florida or Paris to Ride it but I have been to the ride before it was gone
I enjoyed my stay at the Hollywood Tower Hotel. I would enjoy Dropping in Again Soon...
Ask about their rewards system, I heard it's to die for.
I, myself, was a regular at The Hollywood Tower Hotel. I miss it so bloody much, it just kills me...
The Tower Hotel truly was an Elevated Experience. Especially at the Twilight hours.
Was it just me,or did I hear an evil laugh at the end of your comment?
Bryce Mckenzie The joint is a towering achievement.
The Tower of terror was the only thing worth going to in California adventure for so long I'll miss this ride very much
I think I might visit the park when the rest of the Marvel attractions open at the park. I'm curious to see what Disney does with it.
@@ThemeParkHistory Have you heard? They're retheming Sleeping Beauty Castle to Stark Tower!
sebastian banguis wait.wait.wait. wHat. Is this actually true?
@@starrtreatment Thank God No.
@@KeepCalmContemplateYourChoices why did you even say that.
DCA will never be the same with out this
Cash grab on Disneys part.
It's a shame it's gone. I had a feeling most of the people who watched the video were going to be against the overhaul of the attraction.
I'm fine with that. I liked the Florida version more.
Well, DCA kind of sucked. The idea to have a California themepark in California was such a strange, limiting, and abstract gimmick. The Tower was the only thing that worked in that park. And I honestly like the Guardians ride better. The spooky atmosphere can only be effective maybe once or twice, especially with the single drop sequence. With Guardians, it's a more lighthearted tone, almost reminiscent of a party. It's hard to scare someone with the same tricks, but it's much easier to entertain them. The new exterior still looks like shit, unless it's nighttime at Halloween.
Theme Park History from what I heard was is Disney has the listener to use the twilight zone until 2020 but what they are afraid of is if the reboot of the tv show does well cbs will double the amount if that happens they will do a back story conversion on the one in Florida but it won’t be marvel based but will stay a hotel from what I heard it will be almost like the Hightower story
I am a veteran cast member for the great movie ride and I know of thousands of cast members as well as guests that you would make very happy if you did The Great Movie Ride. Especially with the 30 year anniversary of Hollywood Studios coming out. There’s a great deal of history in that building, I think everyone would enjoy it! The Great Movie Ride!
100th birthday party anniversary celebration party years happy birthday contact with Walt Disney's company class starts at Disney world and Disneyland Disney plus movie download 90s made movie
What I would do to pay homage to Tower of Terror is have a newspaper clipping in the Mission: Breakout queue that reads *Abandoned Hollywood Hotel Disappears After Thunderstorm* as little reference meaning the hotel has mysterious disappeared into *The Twilight Zone.*
*mysteriously
Thank you for this. This is the only video (that I could find) that covers the DCA Tower of Terror history perfectly, especially when it comes to the actual reasons for its closure. At the time, it was annoying to hear everyone say they closed it because Disney was losing the rights to the Twilight Zone IP, which was always false. The reasons that were mentioned in your video has always been the truth as to its closing. I went on Mission Breakout once and I have had no desire to go on it again since. Tower of Terror was a beautiful attraction inside and out. To me, it was always The Haunted Mansion of California Adventure. I miss it so much and it will always have a special place in my heart.
I feel that Mission Break out and the other new themes at California Adventures has no real reason to be there other than to be a easy cash grab. The theme of the park is CALIFORNIA Adventures. What does a bunch of super hero themed rides or Pixar Pier have to do with California. Hollywood is a major part of California, thats why that section of the park was made. Im sooooo disappointed in this change.
I really think theming for a theme park is starting to slowly die off. California Adventure doesn't focus on California anymore, Universal Studios Florida isn't about riding the movies and Epcot is getting a Guardians of the Galaxy attraction in Future World. It's not about the idea of a park anymore, it seems to be bringing in the most popular IP's, milk them dry and move on to the next one.
Theme Park History I most definitely agree. I believe it’s because the park owners think that kids will not understand the concepts of what the parks were originally trying to show. But even when I was a kid i totally understood and appreciated the old style hollywood theme of that section of the park. Coming from a mountainous area, then to paradise pier, then ending with the old hollywood theme was a great look for the park in my opinion
Aut I was so upset about the tower of terror being gone, but have you been on the Guardians of the Galaxy ride? To my suprise it was actually good. Same with Pixar pier, the story of the incredicoaster is so great. But I agree with you on the marvel, that was the one part of the park that very young children could go on. It is sad that is soon will be torn apart.
Bunny Fluffington I actually have not been to the park these past few years. I am willing to go check them out soon no doubt. Im just sooo sad that all i will have now are just memories of how the park used to be! I wish these could only be seasonal changes and not permanent
Theme Park History IP?
A former cast member that worked at tower of terror in California told me that they were going to add the randomized drops to boost attendance later on at California Adventure, but while they were testing the randomization, it broke in all 3 shafts so they couldn’t use it. The randomization you see in mission breakout is a recycled version of that.
Didn't know that, makes sense why it never came to DCA. I know that was the one things fans really wanted to come over from the original version in Hollywood Studios.
Walt Disney Studios Park’s Tower of Terror is a Clone of DCA’s version and features randomized drops since this year.
René Ingenwerth what videos are you watching? 👀
Just wanted to say that it also should have been possible to add randomized sequences at DCA since it works at Walt Disney Studios Park in Paris with exactly the same ride system.
René Ingenwerth they didn’t randomize any drop sequences in Paris 💀
Oh the memories I have when I stayed at The Hollywood Tower! That place finds a way of dropping you in the zone! On Yelp, I gave them 4 out of 5 stars. They lose 1 star for always having issues with their elevators.
Best thing about the Tower is for some reason they always have a vacancy, never have a problem getting a room! Wonder why that is...
@@ThemeParkHistory I heard they have a 13th floor that they suggest you stay on, it's nice to see they gotten more rooms!
If you think their elevators are bad, try hotel hightower, theirs has been broken since 1899!
Love the videos! You should do Muppet Vision, it's one of my favorite things to do and every time I go to Hollywood Studios I treat it like the last time because we all know it's gonna be gone sooner rather than later
Thank you for the kind words, we appreciate it. Muppet Vision has been added to the list, thank you for your suggestion Sydney.
Muppet Vision isn't leaving anytime soon. They converted the Toy Story restaurant into a Muppet one just two years ago and are now calling the area Muppet Plaza. With the addition of Muppets in Magic Kingdom's Liberty Square and mentions of the IP in the new Wreck-It Ralph film, I highly doubt Disney is dropping Muppet Vision
That being said, I'd love to see this channel cover Muppet Vision anyway. That show makes me laugh hysterically dispite seeing it like 50 times and quoting the full thing with my sister
When I was 9 or 10 I got to ride that ride back in 2013 and holy shit I'm glad I got to ride it before it got changed. Pretty fun and will be part of my childhood.
Have to hold on to those memories, they way things are going on in theme parks lately most of the attractions we've grown up with seem to be on the way out. I
Theme Park History Well said.
You should do a history of the Hyperion theater.
Before Frozen and Aladdin, the Hyperion did other shows there. Even talks of taking the Toy Story stage show (which can be seen on cruises) were going to be there.
Can I suggest covering Poseidon's Fury at Universal's Islands of Adventure?
Poseidon's Fury has been added to the list, thank you for your suggestion TheElectricHedgeHog.
I want Despicable Me Minion Mayhem!
Can you do a video on The Simpsons ride at universal studios?
The Simpsons Ride has been added to the list, thank you for your suggestion Isaiah.
"Hey! You look very familiar..."
They should have never remodeled this thing. it was classic.
I agree, it was a ride that didn't need any changes to it. Shame its gone, hopefully the other versions don't get replaced anytime soon.

First of all thank you for this channel. It is great to learn the history behind theme park rides.
Second, this is a great video. It is my favorite theme park attraction
ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter
ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter has been added to the list, thank you for your suggestion Daniel.
California Screaming
Dueling Dragons (or the entire Merlin’s woods section of lost continent)
Matterhorn Bobsleds
All three have been added to the list, thank you for the suggestions Tyrus.
You should do Triceratops Encounter or the Unmade Jurassic Park Rides for Jurassic's 25th Anniversary and the release of Fallen Kingdom.
Bryce Mckenzie good idea
Triceratops Encounter has been added to the list, thank you for your suggestion Bryce.
No Triceratops encounter is not a ride
Diego Coppin It doesn't have to be a ride for Theme Park History to do a video on it. They do history videos on other stuff too. They've done a history video on Lights, Motors, Action which is a show.
Bryce McKenzie I heard about that but i never got to experience it, the only thing close to that was the raptor encounter
*sips a tall wine glass filled with the tears of park purists* Ahh, So refreshing.
Loved the ending of this. Losing the tower wasn't just losing my favorite ride in the park -it was losing the idea of DCA. The Hollywood area was my favorite area of the park and now it's going away to be replaced with a Marvel area. Don't get me wrong. I get why that's happening (way more than Pandora anyway), but I wonder how I'll feel going back to that park in 10 years when it doesn't resemble the one I learned to love. I hear a lot of people repeat Walt's words "Disneyland is not a museum" and I agree that every ride can be replaced or at least improved, but Disneyland will always have Fantasyland, Adventureland, Frontierland, and Tomorrowland. California Adventure? I have no idea what "lands" will stay and what attractions I'll have left from my childhood. Will it even be the same park or change its name to reflect the times? :(
Nickelodeon Studios at Universal Orlando
I think he already did that
MonsterJamShows nope not yet
@Christian Hendrix Nickelodeon Studios has been added to the list, thank you for your suggestion.
Good one!

No problem 😄
Do pirates of the Caribbean !

A few details on the. beginnings and dramatic changes to become a. HUGE attraction (Pirates of the C ....) in my book "HATCH! Brainstorming Secrets of A Theme park Designer."
Could you do a history of Batman and Robin: The Chiller at Six Flags Great Adventure? You’ve already done two rides from Great Adventure so why stop now?
Batman and Robin: The Chiller has been added to the list, thank you for your suggestion CoasterKing.
YESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great video! Do one on the legendary ‘Roller Ghoster’ ghost train from Lovetts funfair, Redcar UK. Last seen in the early 1980’s!!
Consider it added to the list, thank you for your suggestion Darren.
You should talk about Halloween horror nights
We have plans to cover Halloween Horror Nights but closer to Halloween to set the mood.
I need a history video on Carousel of Progress/America Sings at Disneyland
Both have been added to the list, thank you for your suggestions MDMSamaa.
Have you already done Star Tours? If not, could you?
Star Tours has been added to the list, thank you for your suggestion Joshua.
Can you do history of the Mummy ride in Universal Studios?
Revenge of the Mummy has been added to the list, thank you for your suggestion Nightwing and Batty.
I can’t believe this guys under 100k. He’s my favourite channel
I think a good one to do would be the Backdraft experience that was at Universal Studios Hollywood! A one of a kind experience that is sadly gone.
Backdraft has been added to the list, thank you for your suggestion DavidPunisher23.
this is so sad, I had one of my favorite teenage memories here because of the old Hollywood aesthetic that it had with the 30's jazz and all. 😔
I am SO happy that Disney World decided to build a separate Guardians Of The Galaxy attraction, rather than re purposing the Tower Of Terror! My family and I love the TOT, and it's a MUST ride on every visit to Hollywood Studios! I think they screwed up replacing the version in California . . . But, since I live on the East coast, I can live with it!
Can you please do a video on the Mummy / Van Hellsing / Classic movie monster walk thru at Universal Studios Hollywood???
We'll see what we can do, we might include it when we cover Universal's House of Horrors. Thank you for your suggestion Anissa.
It's called Fortress Van Helsing and it was featured at Universal Studios Hollywood, if you plan on doing it.
Wow great content sir! I love all the old commercials you incorporate into your videos. Subscribed!
This ride used to be my worst fears as a child but time past by and today I think I got over it idk I am officially am because my heart racing when I was waiting in line and I actually appreciate it I understand that why people would miss it but with me I just deal with it
Felt the same way whenever I went on Revenge of the Mummy or Jurassic Park. Now whenever I can get to the park I can't wait to get on those rides and feel that rush of excitement.
When I was a child my mom told me the ride isn’t scary at all to get me to ride it. Looking back, I’m glad she did because it was one of the best rides I ever experienced and I miss it so much. The tower of terror is timeless, unlike Marvel IP based attractions (saying that as a fan of the GoG movies).
Honey I shrunk the audience 🙏
Honey I Shrunk The Audience has been added to the list, thank you for your suggestion AD GO.
I loved this video on one of my favorite rides! I would love to see the history of Men in Black Alien Attack :)
MIB: Alien Attack has been added to the list, thank you for your suggestion Red Cyborg Productions.
I'd like to see men in black also!
Thanks for doing this Ride! The fear i felt riding this as a kid makes it the most memorable Disney ride for me! I'd also love to see an episode on The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man!!!
Thank you, we've been getting that a lot lately with our videos and they bring back the memories when they visited the parks as kids. The Amazing Adventures of Spider Man has been added to the list, thank you for your suggestion Terrell.
Another successful video. Really really miss this ride(i live in ca). But videos like these really help. Loved the previous concepts for this ride too. Gotta go back to Japan to ride their Tower of Terror. Absolutely stunning.
I had so much memories of this ride! I was really saddened to hear that this ride closed. You will never be forgot tower of terror.
Great video! I have loved all of your videos! Keep it up! I would love to see one on haunted mansion!
Thank you Jason, appreciate the kind words. Haunted Mansion has been added to the list, thank you for your suggestion.
Do, Ghostbusters from Universal Studios Florida. If you can, it was a long time ago!!!
Ghostbusters Spooktacular has been added to the list, thank you for your suggestion Christopher!
Nothing like the original TOT at Hollywood Studios, but TOT at Tokyo DisneySea has the best theming and overlay (13th level , Shiriki Utundu’s additional appearances) is outstanding
DisneySea has the advantage since it isn't tied down to the The Twilight Zone IP. I do agree with you though, really nice building to look at and the story is pretty interesting as well.
please do the ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter!! Hi Mom!
ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter has been added to the list, thank you for your suggestion Gabriel.
The mummy coaster
Revenge of the Mummy has been added to the list, thank you for your suggestion ZO TV.
Please please please do a history of the Dueling Dragons/Dragon Challenge coaster
Dueling Dragons/Dragon Challenge has been added to the list, thank you for your suggestion Jonathan.
3:56 HOLD UP IS THAT TAIL O' THE PUP IN A BLUEPRINT OF MGM STUDIOS?!?! JDHSJWJJWSKSJ THATS AN ICON OF HOLLYWOOD IF THEY GOT IT OUT OF STORAGE AND INTO MGM STUDIOS THAT WOULD BE *AWESOME*
ugh just thinking about waiting in the line on this would make me freak out. also i find that mission break out is just a big cash grab since guardians of the galaxy became a hit. if anything mission breakout should be at universal considering there is a whole marvel section. though i will say mission breakout has a really good animatronic
It's just the first step of Disney bringing in all these IP's that are making billions at the box office to their parks, hopefully not every new attraction will be based on Disney's big four at the moment (Pixar/Marvel/Frozen/Star Wars). Universal will never be able to build another Marvel attraction, Disney would most likely never approve of it. I like the Rocket animatronic, Disney has been on a roll with their animatronic figures that few years.
yes they have been getting better and better at their animatronics
Theme Park History Do you think that Guardians might start a dark age for theme parks?! 😱😰
Wait. Why is Frozen a big topic to Disney now.
Did the Imageneers think of Frozen as a late movie.
Why is Frozen a top 4 thing?! O_o
I'm a Disney fan and have never seen that movie lol it doesn't interest me. Maybe later I'll watch it.
What I don't get is one of the reasons people quoted when Disney decided to change Tower to Mission Breakout was the cost of licencing the Twilight Zone elements. If that was true, then why does the ride live on at other parks, but DCA gets Mission Breakout? Seems like the thinnest and filmiest of excuses to start rolling out a super hero land.
I really think they were doing whatever they could to save face about the replacement. I don't think they realized how much backlash there would be for replacing ToT. Disney probably thought since Marvel is so popular everyone would be for the change.
I agree with the people asking for nick studios at universal studios
Nickelodeon Studios has been added to the list, thank you for your suggestion Rigden. We will eventually cover it, just wanted to get out of Universal Studios for a bit before we head back to cover the rest of the attractions.
I'd really love to see the history of the Universal Studios Hollywood Backdraft Ride or the Old 3 part Special Effects "show." Thanks for all the hard work you do!
The Twilight Zone is my favorite show the 50s one not the 2019 one.
You should do the history of professor Burp's bubbleworks at Chessington world of adventures
YES. I LIVE IN ENGLAND AND ILD LOVE THAT
Was calling The Biltmore Hotel "The BLIT-more" a typo? Haha
It was, I never had hear of it before making the video so I only realized it after the video was released and viewers pointed it out. Thank you for not shaming me in my mistake like some of the other people who have.
@@ThemeParkHistory Ah man. Sorry to hear that. We don't have that many historic landmarks that are as well preserved and maintained in LA, especially ones that are almost a century old. And during that era, the Biltmore Hotel was definitely a star in its own right - a beacon for the show business elite.
Definitely seems to be, I really like the architecture and design of the hotel. Shame more buildings don't have that style anymore.
Maybe do a video on the history of the tram tour at Universal Studios Hollywood. How it's changed from time to time and how some things are gone because of the fire that happened in the back lot.
The Tram Tour has been added to the list, thank you for your suggestion jimmyjazzchannel.
Do Backdraft at Universal, please.
Backdraft has been added to the list, thank you for your suggestion Red5_StandingBy
Can you do a video about the history of Pirates of the Caribbean at Disneyland Resort in California, Walt Disney World Resort in Florida and the other Disney theme parks around the world?
Pirates of the Caribbean plz plz
Pirates of the Caribbean has been added to the list, thank you for your suggestion Gigi.
I’d like to see you cover Alien Encounter
We will be covering Alien Encounter sometime this year, thank you for the suggestion Parasitic Hunger.
To be honest, I was always ok in replacing The Tower Of Terror with the Guardians of the Galaxy.
The lack of that 5th dimension scene, was enough for me to call the DCA version an inferior and budget constrained one.
If there is a segment in the whole ride that feels like a Twilight Zone Episode is that one.
Plus, I always felt that an iconic series like The Twilight Zone deserved another ride concept.
A TV series with a serious tone of mistery and suspense would go better with something like an omnimover based ride, but a thrilling free fall ride?, that's like making a casablanca roller coaster.
Could you do a theme park history on the mummy ride at universal studios in Orlando 😊
Revenge of the Mummy has been added to the list, thank you for your suggestion Emma.
4:29 Glad you decided to show a screenshot from that episode, as it really hit close to home to me as a female Aspie who has had some very girly interests growing up. I say that because the autism spectrum is pretty much a "boys' club" due to the gender ratio.
Can you cover the Funtasic World of Hanna-Barbara?
The Funtasic World of Hanna-Barbara has been added to the list, thank you for your suggestion Jordan.
Not a problem. ;)
Maybe you can do nickalodean studios at universal orlando
Nickelodeon Studios has been added to the list, thank you for your suggestion Gamer.
I’m so happy to be East Coast! We still have Tower of Terror!
Plz do the Great Movie Ride!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Great Movie Ride has been added to the list, thank you for your suggestion Michael.
How about Monster Mansion aka Monster Plantation at Six Flags over Georgia. One of the largest dark rides not created by Disney. There's a long and interesting history behind it.
Could you please make an episode on the ghostbusters show that appeared in universal studios?
The Ghostbusters Spooktacular has been added to the lost, thank you for your suggestion StarMan X360.
You should do a video about Ellen’s energy adventure or the great movie ride, especially since the anniversary of their closures just passed on the 13th
Both have been added to the list, thank you for your suggestions Isabelle.
I miss you tower off terror we had many memories together!
And Tower of Terror misses you too, they wish you would come visit them at either Florida/Paris/DisneySea.
tot is my fave ride in the world but the gotg one is honest to god incredible its so much fun and it always changes up w diff songs and scenes. as log as the others stay the same its fine
I'm not sure I can ever forgive Disney for what they did to Tower of Terror in DCA. My other issue is that DCA has become a major IP dump for Disney. While I agree that DCA had a rough start, there was a period where it was, in my opinion, amazing. The golden age of DCA is definitely gone, and will soon just be known as Disney's Pixar Adventures.
2012-2013 was peak DCA before it went straight down hill in 2017
I miss this ride so damn much)):
I finally went to Walt Disney World and when I rode it I cried haha. 😂
I’m still bitter that Disney changed this ride to Guardians. Tower of Terror was way better. Good video.
If I could add another suggestion, Poseidon's Fury at Universal Studios would be very interesting as well.
Poseidon's Fury has been added to the list, thank you for your suggestion Zach.
No Poseidon's fury is not a ride it's a show
So is Termiator 3D and they did a video on that.
The next time you enter the Guardians of the Galaxy ride, just know you’re taking a step in what was once a gateway into
*THE TWILIGHT ZONE*
That monologue at the end about the reason Disney rides stick with you much more than Universal rides hit me like a truck. I honestly cannot remember any memories form my childhood in Universal, though I visited the park a lot. Yet I can remember so any different rides from Disney, I can remember every single aspect of the first Test Track and my first experience in Space Mountain. I’m part of the WDW Florida gang and if this were to happen to us I’d be devastated :( so many memories.
Maybe you can write a letter to Disney or Josh D'Amaro about that. In fact sicne the latter seems to be more communicating he may respond to you. Go ahead give it a try. And remember to be nice.
Thank god the Florida version has to blend in with Epcot!
It's amazing the level of detail Disney puts in to make sure everything stays as immersive and authentic as possible.
You should do the history of Californian Screamin in Disney’s California Adventiure!
California Screamin has been added to the list, thank you for your suggestion Andrew.
Thanks!
California screamin
Great video! Would love a video about The ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter in disney Florida.
Do The Infamous Action Park
Action Park has been added to the list, thank you for your suggestion PrimusVsUnicron.
The nostalgia is strong with this channel...I love it!
Thank you Sean, appreciate the kind words!
Excellent video. I loved DCA's Tower, even with the perceived shortcomings people had about it being a watered down version of WDW's. For nearly 13 years, DCA's Tower of Terror captivated me and became a massive obsession and love in my life. It inspired my education and choice of career path. Even today I still crave being able to drop in again to the luxurious Hollywood Tower Hotel. It may be gone, but it won't ever be forgotten in this fan's mind and heart.
This channel is awesome great to see some nostalgic rides best of luck !
Thank you JaeHendrix!

11:11 Okay side note, that web on the telephone is STRONG!
Heard that it was Spiderman's webbing.
I gave Mission: Breakout a try this past summer, and it absolutely broke my heart because all I could think about was how/where everything used to be, from the lobby, the boiler room, and the stops on the elevator itself. This is going to sound really corny but Tower of Terror was special to me in that it introduced me to Twilight Zone, and it's what got me into that amazing show in the first place. I wouldn't have minded Guardians so much if it didn't come at the cost of one of my favorite rides. I know I could go to the one at Florida (but even I worry about it being replaced) but it's always been more convenient for me to go to CA. Man, the last time I was this salty over an attraction was when Winnie the Pooh took over Country Bears.
The reason why Disney hasn't capitalized on the Marvel franchise in their parks is because Universal Studios owns the rights to theme park attractions based of the franchise. See, before Marvel was bought buy Disney they made a deal with Universal to base attractions off of the comics, which is why Universal has rides like The Hulk and the Amazing Adventures of Spider-man in their parks. When Disney took over Marvel they decided to uphold Marvel's existing contract with Universal. The agreement Universal and Disney came to was that Disney could not made any rides using the same advanced movement system as The Amazing Adventures of Spider-man in any of their parks and could not have any Marvel merchandising within any theme parks east of the Mississippi state line. With this all being said I don't think that the Orlando Hollywood Studios park will receive the same Tower of Terror treatment anytime soon.
If you read all of this I hope this was insightful to you and please give a thumbs up 😊👍

Oh, I love Twilight Zone AND Tower of Terror! My favorite episode is It's a Good Life, and I love the movie's version as well as the 2002 follow-up! And the ride, I had a T-shirt and STILL have the poster:) The movie from 1997 was pretty neat too.
