Exclamation AP Previews of The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror


It's time for you to step into the 5th Dimension! Check into The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror™, the newest attraction at Disney's California Adventure park. It's a 13-floor freefall, plummeting you towards the lobby faster than the speed of gravity! But it's not just a single drop - the elevator rises and drops more than once, as this eerie hotel seems to be sending you a message! As an Annual Passholder, you can be among the first to check out the amazing special effects and take on an exhilarating adventure.

Experience the attraction on preview dates April 26, 27 & 28 for a sneak peek at The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror™. Reservations are required, so please visit the Annual Passholder section of disneyland.com on April 13 to reserve your seat on the elevator ride of your life!

Good deal, MG. I guess you will be "dropping in" soon.

The drop sequence is one, so is the queue, including the lobby (better than WDW), libraries (better than WDW), boiler room (much better than WDW), the load/unload sequences for elevators, the view of the parks, etc.

That is one of the benefits of cloning a ride: you can analyze the problems and improve it the second time around.

Although it isn't an exact clone, I consider it one because Tower started somewhere else. Just like Buzz is different, I still think its a clone. Even other rides like BTMRR, IASW, etc.

Many clones (same name + same basic ride type = clone) are very different. Tower is one of them (DCA's is really different....and much better IMHO)
