Better than DCA!

The theming of this ride is superior. Nothing even compares. I love to ride this at night!

User ID: rshaul   Thrill: 4  Theme: 4  Overall: 4 (1/17/2008)
Amazing ride if you have the stomach for it.

User ID: frog_freak   Thrill: 4  Theme: 4  Overall: 4 (12/1/2007)
I think this is 1 of the best rides in the world. usually when i ride once and ride it again, i'm not sacred. but this is different. it scares the guests out of pure, pshcological terror.the atmosphere is amazing,it makes the ride feel so real!the reason y ur falling faster than the speed of gravity is bc ur being pulled down.i think it would be so cool if they had a restaurant in there!

User ID: ursula89   Thrill: 4  Theme: 4  Overall: 4 (11/26/2007)
OMG, this was such an amazing ride! I was so scared to go on it, and almost didn't, but thanks to my dad I did. After riding it the first time I went on it seven more times. Because of this ride, I always get a park hopper ticket, cause it's my all-time favorite!!

User ID: jakefaker1   Thrill: 4  Theme: 4  Overall: 4 (11/14/2007)
It was not nearly as bad as I anticipated it would be. I don't think my husband will ever ride it again! But, the kids and I will for sure.

User ID: tahoedonner   Thrill: 4  Theme: 4  Overall: 4 (11/9/2007)
Disneylands gets you to the drops faster, but MGM's has more ambience and great drop views(Mickey water tower etc)...so get a fasspass, say hi to Rod and get ready to ZONE OUT...TOT is the best on either coast.

User ID: aszucs   Thrill: 4  Theme: 4  Overall: 4 (8/14/2007)
You're never too old to be scared to death by the likes of Rod Serling.

User ID: Lissa Kuuipo   Thrill: 4  Theme: 4  Overall: 4 (8/11/2007)
I love this ride! It's better than the one in Disneyland! So much more scarier and freakier. The anticipation of the drop is heart-pounding!

User ID: frog_freak   Thrill: 4  Theme: 4  Overall: 4 (6/21/2007)
whenever i am in the line, i suddenly get very, very,very,VERY,scared. but when i get on the ride i am not frightened anymore.then the drops come.wow.then i think this is the best ride and i go in the line again.then the cycle restarts.

User ID: KatKiss   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: 4  Overall: 4 (6/12/2007)
one of my all time faves. the atmosphere of the ride is awesome! everything about this ride is great...ya can't go wrong w/a lil' scare!

User ID: WolfDreamer   Thrill: 4  Theme: 4  Overall: 4 (4/29/2007)
This might be my favorite ride at MGM. I grew up watching the Twilight Zone and this ride is another dream come true for me. It wasn't at all what I thought it would be, with the trip "into... the Twilight Zone." I didn't expect the theming... but the drop was everything I hoped it would be. I think we dropped like six times. Loved it.

User ID: SpectroWishes914   Thrill: 4  Theme: 4  Overall: 4 (3/19/2007)
BEST DROP RIDE IN THE WORLD! The everything from the queue line to the ride leaves you in awe. Disney should just go ahead and make this the symbol of MGM. It's more memorable that that stupid hat.

User ID: disneytoon   Thrill: 3  Theme: 3  Overall: Unrated (12/17/2006)
i was petrified when i rode it when i was 5, that i havn't rode it since! is it scary?

User ID: HowieP   Thrill: 4  Theme: 4  Overall: 4 (9/10/2006)
A++++++++++! Big Thrills all the way.

User ID: siko626   Thrill: 4  Theme: 4  Overall: 4 (9/6/2006)
A great ride. I feel as though the entire shaft went upside-down! And let me tell ya, that is an awesome sensation.

User ID: Shadow wolf   Thrill: 4  Theme: 4  Overall: 4 (2/13/2006)
One of Disneys best, from entering the gardens to the final drop. You can't miss this one!

User ID: mrsrandytaylor   Thrill: 4  Theme: 4  Overall: 4 (2/5/2006)
OK THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT MY FAVORITE RIDE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! seriously! like every time i go to Disney World i like HAVE to ride this ride at least 10 times!! this ride is a "MUST GO ON" ride!!!!!!!!!!

User ID: dancintinkkid2592   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (1/1/2006)
I liked the dropping part of this ride... that didn't scare me at all. What really creeped me out and I really didn't like was the inside that you have to walk through!!! I wonder if there is any way to just get on the ride without having to walk through. I had to hold my dance teacher's hand I was so scared!!!!! That part is too much!!!!

User ID: halley123   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (12/11/2005)
Just like any other free fall ride. Just with special effects.

User ID: A Foolish Mortal   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (12/10/2005)

User ID: TheSkyway   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: Unrated (10/3/2005)
A great ride! Unfortunatly, the 'Zone' at the top is not as dark and scary anymore.

User ID: Splashlover   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (10/3/2005)
The single bad thing here is the rediculouly long wait to get on the ride.

User ID: MrToadWildRider   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (9/20/2005)
This is one of the best rides in all of Disney World and equally any park I've been to. I actually think my favorite part of the ride occurs before I even step foot into the elevator. The 1930's music playing eerily through the fog gets me excited everytime, it's such a great, spooky atmosphere. Plus the Serling intro is just great. The ride is fantastic too of course :) Theme + Thrill = Amazing!

User ID: Le_Poof   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (8/30/2005)
Nothing beats this ride. The seat where you have to wear the seatbelt totally rules and I try to get it every time.

User ID: marksewell533   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (8/1/2005)
WOW!!!!!!! This is the greatest ride of all time. I've ridden it 15 times and it gets better. www.freewebs.com/thetowerofterror is a great link

User ID: gymkingirl69   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (4/4/2005)
This one of my favorite rides at Disney world. The whole storyline is cool and it makes you feel like it's actually happening to you.

User ID: eeyorefn04   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (2/1/2005)
The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror is a thrilling 13 story drop in a haunted elevator, and if you like thrilling rides this is definatly a ride for you. Please drop in any time.

User ID: PlutosPal   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: Unrated (9/16/2003)
The atmosphere and pre-drop build-up are excellent. The Tower, Rock'n Rollercoaster and Space Mountaun are can't miss attractions.

User ID: Pirategal03   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (8/29/2003)
I was terrified to go on it but i had lots of fun!

User ID: PeterAlt   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: Unrated (7/27/2003)
This is by far the best ride on Disney property. It is also the scariest. Mission: Space would be a close second. The attention to details, the showmanship, the special effects, and the scariness of it all make it an experience that give this attraction cult status. They keep making this attraction better, and the current version (number four) pushes it to the limits.

User ID: run_steve_run   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: Unrated (7/27/2003)
I'm really looking forward to this attraction, hopefully it will salvage Disney's California Adventure......

User ID: karina12345   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (7/27/2003)
i rode it again in december 2002...and i was flying off my seat....i get sooo freaked out...the thing is...my grandma is afraid of heights and she still went on...and her eyes were closed and she was holding on for dear life....i was worried about her...but the ride is safe and soo damn thrilling...you'd want to go again(which wouldn't be a surprise).

User ID: Eeyoreluver90   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (7/25/2003)
I am in love with this ride!!! I try to go on it at least twice everytime i go to disney!! I recommend this ride t everyone except young children!

User ID: Ragamuffin   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (7/24/2003)
I loved this ride! One of the best at Disney! It ranks along with Pirates of the Caribbean and Haunted Mansion- not a usual thing for a rather new ride. Sure to be a classic in years to come; a must-ride.

User ID: The Ghost   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: Unrated (7/17/2003)
Could do this again, and again, and again....... What a ride....

User ID: Tanabi5790   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (6/20/2003)
Every time I am about to go on it, I almost chicken out. And wet my pants. But once you see yourself plummeting into a 13-story elevator shaft, everythings allright!

User ID: captain_hook231   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: Unrated (6/8/2003)
Amazing ride, now since the drop sequence is changed the ride is never the same twice!! hahaha this ride will never die.LOVE IT even if the lines are long, the theme is perfect by the queve area

User ID: thumpersgirl85   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (6/6/2003)
I always say, "Thats the last time I'll go on that" but somehow it draws me in. Eerie huh!

User ID: jasmine7   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: Unrated (5/28/2003)
Absolutely magnificent, though don't ride it too many times in a row or you might end up a little loopy. Twice in a row was enough for me. :) If you wind up in the correct shaft, look for the ventriloquist's dummy from TTZ in the left side of the shaft before you exit.

User ID: Oldsfamily2003   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (5/28/2003)
What an awesome ride, you feel like you are on top of the world when you get off.

This ride really scared me when I was little but it's just plain awesome now! I had to give a 4. Also I heard they were making a Tower of Terror in DCA! Featured in Hollywood Pictures Backlot!!

User ID: teknodave   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (5/12/2003)
I was not a fan of thrill rides until I got on board the service elevator at the HTH. This by far was my favorite ride at WDW (w/ Haunted Mansion right along with it). My first ride, I was being lifted off the seat from the drops, screaming my head off ... but after awhile, I wanted to go again, and I did just before the park closed on my last day there. A CM rode with us, just looking at me, and laughing almost demonically. Totally in character, saying he has been there "since 1939." After that second ride, I was laughing, and jumping around like a little kid. If I could, I would rate the ride a FIVE instead of a Four.

User ID: buzzsdad   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (5/6/2003)
I've been a Twilight zone fan since I was peaking out from behind the chair watching the show. My fav at this park my wife can take it or leave it :(
Great preshow. Try to get the middle seat in the last row with the seatbelt. You'll love it!!!

User ID: MAGNUM   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (5/5/2003)
This is a real rush, cant wait for DCA to open the Tower. Even the que is fun. What a great job.

User ID: pfrees   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: Unrated (4/30/2003)
The best ride at all of WDW. The detail is incredible. The scariest ride both physically and visual I have ever been on and the voice of Rod Serling is reMARKable.

User ID: aquamoptop   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (3/16/2003)
ROCKS, ROCKS, ROCKS!!! This is dark ride meets drop ride!! Perfect story telling through theming. Its eerie and it builds you up from the minute you enter the queue. It is a complete attraction in true Disney style.

User ID: sunya   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (3/14/2003)
The best ride in WDW! I can't wait to go on this one each trip.I sream like a maniac and then can't wait to do it again. This is the one ride that would break my heart if it was closed down during my stay. I own the video of the movie based on this ride and every year I watch it just before my trip to get psyched.

User ID: AndrewMcMahonLvr   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (3/1/2003)
Just totally awesome. Only one thing don't get on an attendant named Donald's nevers he really didnt like me and my cousins

unbelievbly fantastic! I love this ride and think it is a must for everyone, maybe not seniors, but what do i know?

User ID: CoastrCub   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: Unrated (2/6/2003)
As far as drop rides go this takes the cake when it comes to that blend of thrill and theme. But if you really want to enhance the experience ride in the seat-belt seat! No lap bar to grip, nothing to hold onto....air time for days!

User ID: cbeard9665   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (2/3/2003)

User ID: Skully   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: Unrated (12/5/2002)
This ride along with the Haunted Mansion is my #1 Disney ride.The effects are awsome, twilight zone theming is great, and the ride is a HUGE thrill.If Disney doesn't build some attractions for thrill seekers, they'll go down. And this is the perfect way to combine Disney and thrills into one.A great ride.The family can just get lost and wait at the exit while I have the #1 time of my short life.

User ID: BRING-BACK-TOAD   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 1 (12/5/2002)
What does the Twilight Zone have to do with Disney? Don't like this one. The whole family can't ride not what I think of as DISNEY!

User ID: Scalemaster34   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (12/3/2002)

User ID: unocardshark   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (9/16/2002)
This ride might have the best scenery in the park. A ton of work was obviously put into this one and its more than worth it. The wait is FOREVER so make sure and Fastpass it only!!! It is easily the scariest ride of all Disney theme parks in the world.

User ID: disneyfreak86   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (9/13/2002)
The best ride in WDW The seatblet seat is so cool!

User ID: ron777   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (8/31/2002)
This ride is the most insane ride disney ever made. and the drops are FAST. the back seat has a seat belt that keeps you in your seat when the elevator drops, but it gives you a rush when you are just hangin by the belt

It took lots of courage to get on this one, I hate elevators. I was blown away with the level of detail in the lobby. WoW! That alone was worth getting into that elevator. I wish that Disney still put that level of theming in it's parks.

User ID: S_Diamond   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: Unrated (7/20/2002)
This is the best ride ever created by Disney imagineers. i have wanted to Transferfrom my curret location to Tower for a while now. Two cast members Vin and Steve G. are the Best Bellhops and will always be the best in my book. they have always been the most entertaining and work extreamly hard to keep up the feel of what is the Tower of Terror. I have always enjoyed this ride since it opened and I am in awe at its magnificance.

User ID: Stevie   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (6/2/2002)
Pirates, Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, Haunted Mansion, Tower O' Terror. Destined to become another Disney classic, this ride shows again that when Disney pays attention, they can really do something amazing. Don't go for the drop - or just for the drop. Check out the lobby. Check out the basement. Check out the outside! Listen to the story, watch the special effects, and wonder - "How the HECK did they DO that?!" But like with all good magic tricks, don't try to find out. Just enjoy!

User ID: lfigment   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (5/30/2002)
Best journey in all of Disney. Each time you ride, it is a little bit different.

User ID: ArnyVee   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (4/28/2002)
Quickly becoming my favorite ride of all. Definately the best attraction at Disney/MGM Studios. Theming is wonderful and the ride is dark and intense.

User ID: BuzzLightyear84   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (3/30/2002)
Unbelievable. Hands down the best attraction at Disney-MGM Studios.

User ID: cgess   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (3/29/2002)
Great ride with great theming. The best part about this ride is that over the past few years, Disney has added more drops and their randomized, so you don't get the same effect everytime you ride. Putting this ride next to the R&R Coaster is fabulous 1-2 punch at the MGM.

User ID: shawnp0001   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (3/20/2002)
The third best ride in WDW; not only is the ride great, but the pre-show is excellent too.

User ID: 1313WEBFOOTWLK   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (2/21/2002)
The 2nd best attraction in WDW, right behind Fantasmic! The imagination behind the ride itself is remarkable but the waiting area in the lobby is actually the highlight.

User ID: Bb87   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (3/27/2001)
I hate heights, I don't like drops, and I ride TOT everytime I go to MGM because the theming is Incredible! My husband wouldn't ride it, and I made him wait in line with me just to see the basement.

User ID: mmouse   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (3/21/2001)
The ride is okay. It was much better when it opened with one big drop, but all the little drops makes it really boring.

User ID: ninafeliz1   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (3/15/2001)
This is the best ride at WDW! The theming in the lobby is utterly amazing, I love to just look around when I'm waiting to enter the library. This is Disney at it's absolute best, showcasing how Disney got it's great reputation. if only they would make the newest attractions to this standard. The multiple drop sequences are great!

Outstanding. The first ride is a surprise even knowing what is coming. This is the type of ride you will go back on again and again.

To use an over used word---AWESOME!! This is what Disney needs to do more of.

The best there is!

User ID: jeremywilliams   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (3/13/2001)
An awesome attraction. Rumors about a scaled down version coming to DCA (only up-and-down elevators). I say if you don't have the money to do it right, save up and wait until you can! It's worth it.

The Tower of Terror is one of the best rides that I have ridden on!!

User ID: charjean   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (3/13/2001)
What a great ride! One of the best at WDW.

User ID: thestargirl   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (3/13/2001)
Another great example of high-concept, multi-media adventure--Disney made a movie about it, instead of the other way around! But strangely enough, I remember the goofy CMs more than the ride proper!

User ID: Futurist   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (3/13/2001)
One of the very best things to come out of the WELLS/Eisner team. The theming is emerse, usage of the latest technologies make this one of the most exciting Attractions in Disney history. Definitely an "E" ticket Adventure! 'Next stop, the 13th floor--hee-hee-hee';-)

User ID: swarsx   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (3/11/2001)
Great ride. The best themeing in all of Disney!

Great ride. Takes your breath away.

User ID: Craigcc   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (1/12/2001)
To ride twice in a row, pick up a fast pass, then get in line. By the time you ride the first time, your fast pass will be good.

User ID: kolonsky   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (1/12/2001)
Has always been one of our favorite rides. Even better with the revamped (multiple) drop setup. RnR coaster adjacent to it has made lines much shorter.

User ID: wdw   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (1/12/2001)
Great thrilling ride, and the usual amazing Disney atmosphere! Awesome theming!

User ID: JenniBarra   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 1 (1/12/2001)
If you don't have a fear of heights or turbulence/sudden drops and thrive on thrilling sensations, this is likely the attraction for you. I am *not* one of those people - my knees were like jelly for 20 to 30 minutes afterward! I will say, though, that the theming is top notch.

User ID: ABBY   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (1/12/2001)
This is one of my favorite rides of all time!

Great atmosphere, great ride. Outstanding detail and effects.

User ID: Q_of_hearts   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (8/3/2000)
Disney Imagineering at it's best! This ride is beyond cool. Special effects and attention to detail are amazing. If you are a sci-fi junkie and love the Twilight Zone, this can not be missed, even if you have an aversion to high places.

2nd only to Spiderman as the best themed thrill-ride in the world. Better than Indy in DL.

User ID: iusem   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (7/24/2000)
It was beyond any thrill I have
ever had!

User ID: DisneyPrincess_96   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (7/22/2000)
This is the best ride EVER to be created!!!(IMHO) It is such a thrill!!! Awesome!!!

User ID: MINNIE-CUTIE   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (7/22/2000)
The best!!!! I love this ride, it's my favorite at WDW. If you go, you can't miss this!!!! I WANT ONE IN DISNEYLAND!!!! PLEASE!

User ID: hartelmd   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (7/22/2000)
Simply awesome, but the old drop sequence with two big falls was MUCH BETTER than the new repeated up and down short drops! Disney needs more rides like this!!

User ID: rollerstan   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (7/21/2000)
One of the best attractions at WDW!

User ID: MM2U   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: Unrated (7/21/2000)
Finally rode TOT last month. There was sheer panic in the Elev. car especially when we were stuck over a minute at the top of the ride in pitch dark just before the big drop!!!!

User ID: joncsufdl   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: Unrated (7/21/2000)
TOT is one of the most thrilling attraction to come out of WDI! The theming is award worthy. i am so stoked that an Anaheim version might be coming to DCA!

User ID: imbartalk   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: Unrated (7/21/2000)
Please put one in DCA. Please, please, please. Is anyone listening?

User ID: sjdimon   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (7/21/2000)
INCREDIBLE! Disney has "perfected" the themed thrill ride (IMO) on this one. A combination of Theming, Atmosphere, Mystery, Intrigue, Suspense and of course, FEAR! I sure hope that DCA Gets a version of this (and that they do it right too!)

User ID: bwanabob   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (7/21/2000)
I've been on this ride 4 times, but I can't stand it. The effects are great--I love the first part of the ride. One of the best I've seen. I'm very afraid of heights, though, so I can't stand the end. Even if you're afraid of heights you should give it a try...once should be fine.

User ID: SirLamer   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (7/21/2000)
This is the best ride I have ever been on! I like free-falls, so to get to free-fall four times, then go back up at the same speed, along with great special effects makes it great! I was told that a Tower of Terror won't be going into Disneyland, but they are considering a mine shaft themed free-fall in Frontierland, which would use the same technology. That would be great! DCA's free-fall ride also uses the same technology, just so you know.

User ID: richierich   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (7/21/2000)
Special effects are high caliber

User ID: UnclPumbaa   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (7/21/2000)
This is one of WDW's best attractions. The attention to detail is incredible and the special effects are fabulous. Every year or so Disney changes the drop at the finale, so beware. The Imagineers did a fine job. Bravo!!!

User ID: Bigthundermtn   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (7/21/2000)
This is an Imagineering best! This one goes right up there with Pirates, Indy, and Thunder Mountain! I was amazed that an attraction could emotionally manipulate me this much! That sounds very strange, but this attraction had me shocked and mostly in awe!!!! This is the BEST attraction in Florida! It is too bad though. My mother hates drops and thrill rides, so she couldn't ride this, but it is so well detailed! I never could think that an attraction could be this great without a single Audio-Animatronic!! I adore this ride, it is second only to Indy!

User ID: ABBY   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (7/20/2000)
Probably one of the best rides I've been on. Full of visual effects & thrills too!

User ID: MinnieMLacey   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (6/21/2000)
When I was on the Tower of Terror the last drop made me feel like I was upsidedown! But It was fun!

User ID: vtfan   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (6/5/2000)
Excellent thrill ride, they keep updating the drops to keep it intersesting as well.

User ID: Sapphire   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (5/21/2000)
I didn't get a chance to see the new ride sequence this trip (I was on the two-drop version in 1997) but without a doubt, this and Splash Mountain are the premier examples of how you should design a thrill ride.

User ID: FCD01757   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (5/21/2000)
GREAT!!!
The effects were unbelievable and the waiting for the final drop keeps you guessing.

User ID: kristamil   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (5/19/2000)
Loved this ride! I sat directly behind my sister in the elevator and her shoulder-length hair literally stood on end! A great ride for the "daredevil" in you!

User ID: Sylvain   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: Unrated (5/19/2000)
My father who's 71 simply love it. So do I. The greatest in MGM

I think I like this ride best of all of my family. I even got the seat belt seat last trip ! My 7yo tolerates it as does my husband....even my 60 & 65 yo parents went on it ! Give it a try !!!!!

User ID: Progressland   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (5/19/2000)
The best. Anyone who thinks the Imagineers can't design an attraction up to the standards of the glory days hasn't been on this one...

User ID: HappyHaunt1000   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (5/19/2000)
A great experience! Theming some of the best I have seen. Hopefully, DCA will get this in future expansion, it would fit in PERFECTLY.

User ID: ashermel   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (5/19/2000)
Expected more of a ride prior to the drop at the end. Though brief it was all quite elaborate and impressive.

User ID: PeterJohnson   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (5/19/2000)
Beautiful execution. Attention to detail is absolutely amazing.

User ID: JensenC   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (5/19/2000)

User ID: tweedle jason   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (5/19/2000)
Great special effects and greatly detailed theming make this drop ride a new Disney legend in the league of Haunted Mansion, Pirates, and Space Mountain.

This is the best ride at WDW. I wish we had it in Disneyland!

User ID: Galapagos Jim   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (5/19/2000)
With only one day for each park, I spent my last hour and a half at MGM on just this attraction (no R&RC then) and blew almost all of my souvenir money here. Great theming, right down to the Hollwood Tower Hotel towels for sale.

User ID: ljhancock   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (5/19/2000)
absolutely the best!!

This is without a doubt, the best ride at all of the Disney theme parks. Ride it if you dare.

User ID: gac20   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (4/4/2000)
The best theme in WDW. We ride it over and over and never tire of it. The drops always thrill.

User ID: RPK4444   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (3/14/2000)
This is one of the best non-coaster rides that I have ever been on. It is worth the wait in line. It seems to never be the same ride twice.

User ID: LaffnStock   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (3/12/2000)
One of the Top Five attractions in Orlando. Though, after multiple rides, which you HAVE to do, the pre-show and trip up get really old. Still, listening to everyone scream and laugh during the drops is almost as fun as the ride itself.

User ID: Animamates   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (3/11/2000)
I love this ride! I have only been on it three times in one visit back in '95 and I was soo scared of the drop. But I still went back to ride it two more times.

User ID: WDWRock   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (3/11/2000)
Great themeing and effects. There is a rich history to the attraction and lots of stuff that goes unnoticed such as the lobby and it's furniture.

User ID: judilane   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (3/11/2000)
By far the best themed Disney attraction to date.

User ID: wisebearaz   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (3/11/2000)

Great theme ! Just wating in line--

Dropping-and rolling back up !
Great detail from lobby,library basement-and when your car,Rolls from the back of the building-to the Front! Is something else !!

User ID: dairyvalley   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (3/11/2000)
takes the thrill of "freefall" type rides and marrys it to Disney storytelling with wonderful detail and effects!

User ID: magic19   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (3/11/2000)
The sheer scope of the building and the grounds is more like a land than a mere ride. Truly awesome.

It scares me every time and I won't admit it but I enjoy it. The first time that I rode it I came off the seat which resulted in a rough 'landing' but the newer version is softer. I just wish I could stay up at the top longer to enjoy the view!

User ID: y2jason   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: Unrated (1/6/2000)
My absolute favourite attraction on the planet.

User ID: Tobias   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (1/6/2000)
Probably the best themed attraction in the world.

User ID: TPA_RickWest   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (1/6/2000)
My personal favorite of Disney's new mega-attractions. Everything is perfect - from the theme to the attraction itself. This third "drop sequence" could be better - but that will change with time. Be sure to check out the props from the original television episodes that line the shelves of the bookcases in the Library during the preshow. You'll recognize some of the old pieces!
