Hollywood tower hotel (Tower of terror)

Joe Seahawk · 11-30-2004, 10:45 PM

My family and I went to Disneyland for Thanksgiving and this ride was a hoot! Has anyone here been on it? I think I heard they have one at Disneyworld thats even taller.

In case you've never heard of it it's a ride where you get in an elevator that takes you up 13 stories before dropping faster than gravity.. It was dang fun! The California screaming coaster was good too.
We have NO good coasters in this state.

Cool hope you had a good trip.

It was a blast. I have boys 11, 12 that like me, have never been to Disneyland before. We had an absolute blast!

Hope your Thanksgiving was good too.

We had a simple dinner here at the house with lil momma's dad and sister. To tell you the truth it was nice to just chill for a bit.

Excellent, It's definitely nice to just chill too. Maybe someday they can put a halfway decent game on TV on Thanksgiving..

Get rid of this Lions/Cowboys BS. A good game would have been nice.

I was on the one in Orlando recently. Lots of fun. It was 13 stories (well the last drop seemed to be). The Tower of Terror and a new space ride at Epcot were the most exciting.

I was okay after the ride. I was a bit concerned after strapping in and noticed that they have airplane barf bags attached to the console of the ride. By the end of the ride I felt the beginnings of motion sickness.

Yeah, mission space can mess you up for a little bit. Sometimes I skip it just cause I don't feel like chancing it.

Also, the best ride in all of Disney is, IMO, Rockin Roller Coaster. The initial excelleration is amazing and riding a roller coaster with Aerosmith blasting is excellent.

We went to Orlando last March and went on all these. Loved the Tower of Terror.

I didn't have any motion problems with Mission:Space (be VERY sure to watch the screen the whole time, or you will get disoriented) but for some reason it gave me a really bad headache, so I only went on it once (my wife went on it three times and she isn't much of a ride person).

Rockin' Rollercoaster is awesome. Very smooth and fast. It freaked my wife out watching it peel out while we were in line, but she liked it, too.

I took my 11 & 12 year old girls to Orlando 5 years ago. They were each just barely tall enough to ride every single ride. I couldn't keep 'em off this one.

Awesome ride, MGM Studios in Orlando is cool to do at night which made this ride even better.

No, I don't think he did.

If you dropped an unattached, non-powered carriage from the top and rode the ride from the top, the ride would reach the bottom more quickly.

A gravity assisted freefall tops out just over 100 MPH.
