My Experience With Tower 4!!!!!

The_CEO · Dec 9, 2002

First off Tower 4 is UNBELIVEABLE!!! Everything you thought was a rumor is TRUE... Glowing Ghosts... Air Cannons... EVERYTHING.... If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them.. I rode ToT numberous times having diffrent experiences everytime.. Another effect is a TV like movie in the drop sequence.. I experienced 2 diffrent movies in that kind of sequence. Again.. GET OUT AND RIDE IT!!!!

Please give a detailed Scenario, I'm dying here, I can't go to ride for over a year and a half, I gotta have more details. Choose one of your favorite rides and go from start to finish, and maybe throw in key points where the ride may vary a lot each time, please.

The_CEO · Dec 9, 2002

START.....

Everything is the same until the drop shaft.. Everything is the same...

OK..

One sequence Shot us up other then dropped us for the first drop.. The shot followed a trick drop and numerous other fun falls... They then had a lightening as before... Dropped.... AIR Cannons... THen back up to the top.... Drop.. Then see the figures.. (* Cool Blue Effect.. *) Drop.. Pause and a video.. No music or sound.. Then drop.. Up to the top and then dropped to the bottom...
___________

Thats just one... Some are similar.. One of the sequences has a video of a shattering window... and the other i went on had a blue like figures of the ppl floating around..

Sound is incredible..

ALL THE RUMORS ARE TRUE!!! Some seatbelts have been installed..

AAWWWW!!!!
I want to read about it so bad, but I also want it to be a surprize. I am going to REALLY try to go tomorrow and ride it. I can't wait

KathyG/poohbear · Dec 9, 2002

What kind of smells did you smell? The press release says there even be smells. I know it may be too fast to catch.

It sounds awesome. I just hope I can talk someone in my family on going on it with me in February.

The smell is of burning rubber, burning lift motors and such things

I am so jealous of all the people lucky enough to live near WDW and go whenever they want. :sohappy:

I just got back from my "sampling" of Tower 4. What can I say? It's just plain NEAT. I didn't ride enough to memorize any of the new profiles, so I can't really describe them in any real detail. It's not a whole lot more intense than the old profile was, so if you could handle that one you'll probably do fine with these.

As far as the special effects go, my favorite addition are the new sounds. At the bottom of the drop shafts are these really deep, really LOUD rumblings that can be heard from the exit of the gift shop. Various other sounds like metallic screeches add even more ambience and can be heard outside on Sunset Blvd. As for the other new effects, I wasn't that impressed with them. The "mystery figures" just get lit up with blue strobe lights for about two seconds. The air cannons were kind of cool, but I never smelled anything.

I liked the new motions of the ride. There were a lot of start-and-stop moments where the vehicle rapidly slows or stops completely, leaving you wondering if you're going to go up or drop. A few of these stops involve the above effects, and some involve the video screen at the bottom. I wouldn't consider any of the profiles as being "bad" but I do remember liking one or two more than the others.

Overall, a very nice upgrade to the Tower

I can't wait to ride this...It sounds amazing!

FLcastmember · Dec 9, 2002

I rode it today, 3 times, INCREADIBLE, each time was better then the one before. All 3 times I was in cars with lap bars, no seat belts. Best part, NO WAIT all day (heavy rain)

side note, before i rode it, i ask the bell hop if the new ToT4 was in effect yet, he said NO???, yet it was all 3 times.

THE RIDE IS GREAT!!!!

a surprise every time....going again tomorrow!!!!!!!

hands down, WDW best rehab ever!!!

Lance · Dec 9, 2002

I rode it 4 times, I was very disappointed to find, that there were no seat belts, all the cars were the same as before...

Walked on all 4 times, people were scared of by the rain....

I sat in the 2nd and last rows all 4 times, and I never smelled anything or felt the slightest touch of air, but I think it was because I was behind a lot of big people, and I hate a jacket on...

Some new effects and the sounds are probably the best, because they pump them up so loud that it shakes the whole car, and yes you can hear all the new sounds from well down Sunset Blvd, which is awesome as your walking towards ToT.....

The one good thing was I had 3 out of the 4 different programs.

I'm sorry, but I won't be completely satisfied till I don't have to worry about fighting for a seat belt seat!

Jerm · Dec 9, 2002

WOW!! I can not wait till my trip later this month now! The ride sounds so sweet!!Just two questions though, did the ride actually do the false ending thing ("Just when you thought it was over!") That is one of the new suprises I have been looking most forward to! And did the drops feel any longer and faster?

Jan. 1 ToT here I come!!!!:sohappy: :lol:

:animwink:

I did not experience the false ending... I wish i did though.. But you are so caught up with the ride it is hard to keep track.. 4 more days of ToT........ WOO HOO!!!

CEO

PS.... No i didnt smell any burning or anything else..

The Sound Is Incredible Though!

MrNonacho · Dec 9, 2002

Two of the profiles use the video screen at the unload level (4-2 and 4-3, if I've got them straight). Neither of them really seem like a false ending, though, since the video on the screen is different from the real ending video.

4-2 has video of the ghosts and 4-3 has the Twilight Zone window breaking.

Mickeyman819 · Dec 9, 2002

i have never road any of the tower of terrors at all. Im scared of heights kinda. earlier this summer though i rode
rock 'n' rollercoaster and loved it. is R 'n' R worse then ToT4 or any of the other ToT's. i hope its not because that is the one ride at disney i have yet to ride. and i really want to ride it. it looks fun

The_CEO · Dec 9, 2002

Do you know which sequences have a false ending?

Either or both of the ones I mentioned above could be considered a false ending, I guess. I suppose if someone wasn't real familiar with the standard ending video they could be fooled. It was obvious (to me, at least) that the ride wasn't over yet.

jrashadb · Dec 10, 2002

Coupla things...

I rode ToT, like, five or six times today. I showed up late in the afternoon, not realizing today was the day for the soft opening. I mean... how lucky can you be?

Anyway, the ride is just amazing. Kudos to the immagineer/s who realized it would be a good idea to make the ride upgradeable... just a tremendous idea.
The new drop sequences were awesome. I love the fact that you never quite know what's going to happen. It adds a certain suspense that is perfect for a ride like this one.
Also, the Sound was just amazing. The sound makes this ride a thousand times better than it was before. I never knew how much of a difference it would make. It's really remarkable.
Plus, just to clarify, some of the elevators have a back row that is completely seatr belts. I sat in it once. I think it's on the right side, but I don't remember.
Anyway, it was awesome...
