They've attempted recorded spiels before but it never worked.

We're all assuming Universal wanted to change the attraction to something completely different and wasn't forced to... ;)

Is that Hollywood's Kimberly?

I never asked guests to move towards the center of the room at tower because the details among the room are so amazing. The lightbulb thing is totally accurate, but fear not there are two libraries so it doesn't really affect the boiler room that much.

I also believe there are sensors which prohibit the doors from opening and closing of people are too near them.

A lady pulled a similar stunt on foxtrot in the corridor scene. She was never caught though. There were a series of door intrusions and the route she used to exit was easily seen, but she got away.

Unless the attraction is not very complicated (for attractions, at least), it's going to interface with multiple different systems all of which may run unique operating systems. Also, most likely, for safety, security, and stability, the panel you see CMs/TMs operating from will not be where...

Riding from unload to load is something that used to be done during training (can't speak for if it's done now). There are cameras which monitor the AGVs entering the load lift VVCs on the unload floor, not to mention the cameras in the load lift VVCs. To my knowledge, there are no attractions...

http://towersecrets.com/how-the-tower-of-terror-works/ <-- great site with lots of accurate information As for the control panels, I still feel this is not the place or the time to discuss the actual buttons or layout, much less what they do. Short of actually being a bellhop, knowing exactly...

An estop at any attraction has different, but similar consequences-- all motion stops. Period. Some attractions will kill show effects, some also turn on work lights, some just close all breaks. It's been a while since I've watched Martin's ToT video, but I'm fairly certain it shows footage of...

I'd love to talk about the panels, but I think any more information about it would be borderline and not purposeful. Most of what I've said can be viewed in Martin's Ultimate Tribute to ToT. I highly recommend watching it!

Unless the bellhop disables the doors (which is possible) or one of a few other situations, the doors will always open when the VVC is at load with an AGV in it. This is a safety feature should anyone be in the AGV. I'm saying this as a former bellhop who has ridden the AGV from unload to...

I think this is a very good description of ride controls. It's a bunch of systems which normally wouldn't talk to each other, talking to each other. As for the OS, it all depends on the system. Most of the systems at Tower of Terror run/ran Windows XP when I was there.

The show is about executives who don't spend enough time on the frontlines and in their place of business. I can't begin to even count the number of times I've seen Phil Holmes in the park, or the other VPs. Same with Iger. I ran into him working at Jungle and all I remember was him...

Absolutely Amazing! :lol:
