Tower Of Terror

Thats the big spooky looking structure that you can see from miles away if you have not been before. Based on a twilight zone theme of a haunted hotels in the thirties, the inside its really classily themed and very atmospheric. Not a long ride, but you get a fab view of the park and what a rush when that lift drops ( twice now!!).Stomach gets left at the top.Must be what it is like free fall parachuting ( only safer!) The debate still rages about whether the left ot the right side is best.The scariest place to sit is definately the middle seat in the back row where you just have a lap strap and there is no seat in front of you tohang on to, Daughter fair shot out of her seat in that. Again,Mum, again!!!!! Now fast passed and get one if you can to avoid the queue. Or go on whilst Fantasmic is on ( but only if you have already seen it as this is brilliant too)

My partner and I took my (then) 9 year old son on Terror Towers. This was the first "scary ride" that he had been on. I thought he was going to cry but was so brave that we bought him a Mickey Mouse "I survived..." and "I suggest you take the stairs" on the back t-shirt. He didn't want to go again but we are going back to Orlando next year and he is definitely wanting to go again. His favourite was Aerosmith.

My 6 year old and 4 year old both love this ride. 4 year old only just makes the height and if I don't hold onto her she leaves the seat (and I'm not sure when she would be reunited with it again!). I love this one too and also recommend the fastpass!

Ruth

This was our very first ride ever in in our very first park - our son had just had his 8th birthday - and thought that this ride really was the "business"

Caroline

Sorry to disagree here, but did somebody say this lift dropped twice? Uh-uh, this is a 3 or even 4 drop ride (I stopped counting after 3!), you start to sympathise with the feelings that yo-yo's must have! And the elevator doors open each time, just to confirm that you really are that high up! It's a great feeling though, especially when it's over.

Sandra - remember your training course - However i can understand that it gets tricky to count the drops as I was so disoriented I started to feel like I wasn't sure if we were up or down - soon realised when they opened the doors <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Sorry Caroline, I'll remain focused. I just got so excited because it was a ride I'd actually been on, until I saw that Ruth's two children had been on it and they're aged 4 and 6!!! I've got a lot to do here, haven't I !

Sandra

That's OK Sandra - we'll have you extolling the praises of all the "biggies" soon - and your family won't recognise you <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

They actually added drops...it used to drop only twice.

The plot thickens - do you think they make the ride shorter when the parks are busier and the wait time longer?
