	THE COLD SPOT \ Movies \ Tower of Terror
		The Tower of Terror ride at Disney-MGM Studios theme park, upon which this TV movie is based, possesses so much atmosphere that it's doubly sad so little of it was transferred into the film.
		Tower, the movie, was apparently partially shot on the grounds of the ride, so director D.J. MacHale has no excuse for not capturing the creepiness that the ride's "hotel lobby" alone has in spades.
		The backstory of Tower of Terror will be familiar to those who took the ride: five people were in one of the Hollywood Tower Hotel's elevators in 1939 when it was struck by lightning.

	Fun Facts of The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror
		In the Tower of Terror, all of the ramps and walkways are tilted at a 2-4 degree angle.
		In the pre-video for the Tower of Terror, if you listen closely, you can hear the little girl saying, "BOR-ing...BOR-ing..." The rest of her family is scared to death by the eerie events, but she's just standing there going, "BOR-ing!" You can ride many times without noticing her saying it.
		On the tower of terror ride the little girl is actually singing the old nursery rhyme "It's raining, it's pouring..." not it's boring, it's boring.

	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.
		The same skills are displayed at work here with the Tower environs, only not at the same level of clever creativity and with one large disappointment remaining: the high visibility of Hyperion Theater's massive queue area still dominates the Tower's entrance area in all its body-clogged splendor.

	WDSfans - The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror project tracker
		Construction of The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at Walt Disney Studios Park today reached an important new milestone, as the landmark building was topped-out with the addition of its heighest dome, giving the official height of 183 feet to far and away the tallest building at Disneyland Resort Paris.
		Applied on the back of the tower, down one concrete column, the paint currently being used is an off-white colour applied on top of a deeper orange/yellow base coat, perhaps some kind of primer or plaster used to prepare the bare concrete surface of the tower for painting.
		Tower of Terror is gaining more height, thanks to a small construction at the top of the building which will carry one of the three domes.

	At-A-Glance Film Reviews: Tower of Terror (1997)
		The original Tower of Terror, however, is a haunted house ride at Disney/MGM Studios, Florida (which, in turn, is based on the television series, The Twilight Zone), where they strap you into an elevator and drop you.
		The TV movie, Tower of Terror is based on that ride, minus the Twilight Zone references -- as closely based as a movie can be on a plotless ride, anyway.
		Attempting to make this movie scary, but still family-oriented, there are more false jump scenes (most of which fail) than I could have imagined possible.

	Tower of Terror, The Haunted Mansion
		Timed to promote the "Tower Of Terror" ride at Disneyland and Disneyworld, which is notable mainly for the Twilight Zone themed 1930s hotel lobby you go through while waiting in line for the ride.
		When the ride was first built, it was to tell the tragic story of "The Bride," her would-be wedding, the ghosts of guests still dancing in the ballroom, and her headless groom (his head in a hatbox).
		The headless groom, by the way, was removed from the Disneyland ride after just one month, because the figure's head was supposed to appear in the hatbox when the fl light was turned off on the identical head on his body, but Disneyland riders could still make out the head without the light on it.

		Amid the glitz and the glitter of a bustling, young movie town at the height of its golden age, The Hollywood Tower Hotel was a star in its own right...
		The tower reaches a height of 183ft, with a 40ft basement, but the elevators do not travel right to the top of the tower, since a large amount of the space is used by the winch mechanisms which drive the drop shaft cabin.
		In designing the Paris/California Tower, the Imagineers were pushed to create a Tower with higher throughput (and more affordable budget), and so removed this element as they believed it was never as successful as they had originally hoped.

		And so the Twilight Zone theme was worked in, with guests starring in their own `lost` episode (afterall, this is a movie park.) The ride through portion of the attraction became the queue area - hence its great theming and little clues all around - and the boiler room holding area.
		Their practical function is to house restrooms, but they are almost exact replicas of the monuments that act as gates at the end of Hollywood's Beachwood Drive.
		This technology was refined for Tower of Terror, and also used later in Tokyo Disneyland`s Poohs Honey Hunt.

		It seems that back in Hollywood's heyday, Shirley Temple-like child star Sally Shine, her nanny Emeline Partridge, the hotel owner's bumbling bellhop son Dewey, aspiring singer Claire Poulet, and Claire's boyfriend Gilbert, all disappeared one Halloween night in the Hotel elevator on their way to a party on the top floor.
		Only then will they meet their doom, or else be able to rejoin the party they had originally been on their way to, a ghostly party that still goes on every Halloween night in the hopes that the missing guests will finally arrive.
		The movie describes the theme to the Hollywood Tower Hotel and what happened to little Sally, Miss Partridge, The Bell hop and two film stars in the Hollywood Tower Hotel's lift, this is definatly not a movie to be missed so buy this first!!!
