	The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at DCA - etixland.com
		From the first announcements of this transplanted Tower attraction, I was disappointed by the decision to recycle Orlando's hit thriller instead of adapting the ride technology for an original show on the west coast.
		During the Tower's concept preview and construction at DCA — an obvious skyline landmark in the park's mostly flat topography — I had misgivings about its southwestern design: while representative of the Los Angelino architecture of the period, I thought the style lacked the gothic altitude and attitude of Orlando's Tower.

		NOTE: The Tower of Terror attraction's drop sequence has been reprogrammed several times, and no features several drops, and a randomiser that selects the ride pattern at random from a selection of preprogrammed patterns, so that guests making consecutive trips on the Tower's lifts can often encounter a different drop sequence.
		The theming within the Tower of Terror is some of the best conceived by the Disney Imagineers, and is probably only rivaled by that of the Haunted Mansion.
		By coming in under the 200 foot limit, the Disney imagineers avoided having to put a large red flashing light on top of the Tower of Terror, which they felt would have detracted from the look of the building.
