On Friday the 13th of February, the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at Disney's California Adventure was officially lit for the first time. The MC for the event was comedian and former candidate for Governer of California Gallagher. The Tower would be lit if the Scream-O-Meter could reach 13th. On hand to help him were three guest screams from the crowd and the Guiness Book or World Records "Loudest Screamer in the World" Jill Drake.
