I'm in #Disney World again, this time for a friend's wedding. Yesterday I noticed what is apparently an effect in the Tower of Terror queue that had been out of commission for 25 years but is now back in action. The effect is a simulated water drip that can only be seen from the left queue after the split. There really did used to be a "Disney difference." Maybe Universal's Epic Universe will force them to get back to that level of attention to detail.

Had an awesome time in #DisneyWorld, even though some five year olds should have their pilots licenses revoked for damage to the Millennium Falcon 🙄
Had a great front-row night ride on TRON lightcycle run, and enjoyed Cosmic Rewind. Neither new coaster was able to displace Hagrid's as my favorite immersive coaster though.
The original Tower of Terror still rocks.

Last weekend I invited some friends over for playing some new card games. They started talking about #WDW so I saw it as an opportunity to talk about #TowerOfTerror.

I had just bought one of those fancy #50Anniversary #FunkoPop. Never thought it would made such a great model for explaining the ride system!

Of course, I don’t think they will bring #WDW ever again as a conversation topic while I’m around. They were interested at first, but I get carried away easily…

While alternative locations for the #TowerofTerror WERE discussed, its current place in the centre of Walt Disney Studios Park was reserved from the beginning. 📍 #DLPtrivia #TourDeLaTerreur #DisneylandParis

#OnThisDay in 2007 (15 years ago) the #TowerofTerror opened. Using cast-in-place concrete it was built FAST, with the main tower rising from the ground in about a month! 🚧😮 #DLPtrivia #TourDeLaTerreur

The #WDW ride that doesn't cease to fascinate me (and one featuring a unique ride system – no exact replicas elsewhere) is #TowerOfTerror.

There is a quite detailed schematic for the ride (kudos to Martin Smith), where we can appreciate how they ingeniously increased throughput by replicating sections – 4 auxiliary shafts leading to 2 main ones (where the drops happen), and actual vehicles that move between them, carrying guests.

Not so good for reliability though.. 😔

#themeParkImmersion #WDW

Hand-drawn schematic by Martin Smith for the Tower of Terror ride at Walt Disney World. There are 4 guest loading areas, each one leading to one auxiliary elevator shaft. These auxiliary shafts are named Alpha, Bravo, Charlie and Delta, and have replicated show scenes. There are also two main shafts (the ones featuring the drop sequence, right behind a sign reading "The Hollywood Tower Hotel"), one named Echo and one named Foxtrot. Through a joint, Alpha and Bravo both lead to Echo. Through another joint, Charlie and Delta both lead to Foxtrot. The joints are in the top-most part of the auxiliary shafts. The ride vehicles are able to go through the joints because they are regular vehicles and not elevators – the shafts have elevators that tow those vehicles up and down. When the drop sequence finishes, they enter the same joint structure, this time replicated in the bottom-most part of the main shafts, and guests exit the vehicles.
