Tower of Terror neon sign refurb underway

[Mike S]

They did this cool lighting effect at DCA's that would be cool to see...


Although Mother Natures natural Wrath is even better Striking down onto the tower..

Wish I could see that in person one day. Truly once in a lifetime, amazing.

I think the ride is still in good condition!

The audio system is trashed, 5th D effects can be patchy, light leaks in the drop shafts

Bus driver told me crane was there to move TT sign to a wand attached to BAH.

That last video though!!

And that's why lighting scares the bejesus out of me....

An older pic, but I like it "old and crusty."

To me the audio sounds alright, but then again I didn't go on this ride prior to 2013.

The audio is a mess compared to how it was at opening.

that is a shame. Has this ride had an extensive refurb since?

Tower of Terror has never had any true refurbishment. At this point it could not only use one, but really should receive some upgrades to the experience.

Speaking of upgrades, how come our Tower is still the only one with the random drop sequences? Seems like something they would've added to the others by now.

Here it is with the neon sign off, since it's still under refurb! (I assume)

Good. They have not been working appropriately for awhile (portions completely burnt out, portions that are supposed to flash just off).

Kind of like Hotel Coral Essex in Revenge of the Nerds II?

Hope it looks better than ever when it comes back.

I'd love if some new effects were added to it, but that's probably extremely unlikely.

Nothing big since the exterior Refurb of 2010..

Hey guys, do you know how long this will be down for? I'll be down in the world on Wednesday, but at studios on Tuesday and Thursday. Do you think the sign will still be down? We are going to be with friends who love to take pictures of rides/shows. Just so I know to tell her that she should take a picture at daytime. Or is the "Hotel" sign covered? (It looked like it was covered in the photo.)

It wasn't covered, my photo just didn't turn out that great.

Seems to be back on better than ever before now as of 8/17.

Why isn't the "o" in Hollywood flashing like it used to... like it was burning out.. You would think they would change it over to LED as well, so it's more energy efficient.

To be fair, Jakester only posted a photo, maybe why it's not blinking.
