Now it's interesting you say that Julie. I went on Tower many years ago when it first opened, and unless my memory bank is fading, I remembered a much longer journey around the hotel before facing 'the big one' which only dropped twice then. This last visit I was brave enough to do it again and we seemed to literally go up, look around and then get plunged into darkness before dropping. So was it a different ride round I wonder?

We thought exactly the same Sandra, but I wondered if they "shortened" the ride when the queue's get too long<img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>quote:

Perhaps they change the ride from time to time so that, just in case you've been on it before, it's still a surprise? If the ride was always the same, perhaps not many people want to do it again? At least this way, when you go on it, you don't know just what's going to happen!

Thats exactly what stops me going on it again blott!
I hate standing in line wondering what I'm letting myself in for! Thought after the first time it'd be fine but it's the one ride I no longer go on in Florida!!![:I]

I've been at different times of the year when its been empty and full and I've never noticed any difference in the ride preamble times. You always seem to get the same trip to the top, although my experience is only from 1999 onwards.
They did increase the number of drops a couple of years ago, which was covered in a blaze of publicity and increased advertising....who said Disney never give you something for nothing !

Last November I went on that ride 18 times. AS i do every time I visit but 18 was the most I got in on one day. My friend and I have a running joke about it.... SHe saw a mickey mouse figure in front of us before they dropped us and she thought it was a guy downt here and kept screaming, "their is a dude down there" and everyone was laughing. NOw we try to see the mickey mouse every time we go on it and laugh hysterically.

As of Feb 2003 , the lap bars were still there with the strap safety belt on the middle back seat. However, the new slogan is "never the same ride twice", as the number of drops and even visual effects you occasionally see projected on the wall ahead of you as you are mid drop changes constantly. On one occasion, we all sat waiting for the car to drop on it's first plummet, and instead it shot upwards before dropping ! Caught everyone by surprise, and really added to the thrill. A truly brilliant ride.
