Actually thinking about it now I think there’s some sign that mentions a preservation society but if they’re the bellhops why would they act creepy? I like your explanation though. Minus certain character quirks the bellhops actually do remind me of the ghost in The Shining. It is a hotel after all so I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s where Disney took some inspiration.

I always thought this was the extent of the preservation society...

By that same logic then, the fact that we are going through this abandoned hotel with hundreds of other people at the same time is more detrimental to the abandoned plot line than the creepy bellhops. There are just some things that have to happen in a theme park setting that go against any type of themeing. It's like complaning that there were no anthropomorphic bears singing songs in the wild west while standing on paved concrete next to a electrically powered churro stand...
By arguing it’s the present era, it didn’t seem so. The pretense has to be we’re already in the Twilight Zone when we entered the gate.

Once again we can turn to the script to clarify.

Preshow. "And this elevator travels directly to…The Twilight Zone.”

I thought that meant that we cross over into the TZ in the drop shaft because thats the point of impact of the lightning bolt. Our elevator has traveled through the hotel, which is "alive", again see shining similarities, that puts us into the main elevator shaft to hit us with lightning as well. I guess alot of it could be open to interpretation but this was always one of the rides that seem pretty spelled out and defined by the imagineers.

Yes, but you said it’s the present era. That’s what you said. Then you said this contradiction is to be allowed due to what the attraction is. “There are just some things that have to happen in a theme park setting that go against any type of themeing.” How soon we forget.

I always took the bellhops as being ghosts from the 30’s who are materializing in the present day to allow us to check in a la Haunted Mansion.
So many approved. They aren’t ghosts. There are no ghosts in TOT. No one has died there a la Haunted Mansion. People dematerialized.

Folks, I'm not going to go thru 600+ pages on here, but I'm curios as to what the building next to the GotG building with the yellow dome is...I'm assuming it's "back stage" so if anyone can tell me, I'd appreciate it...I'm just curious.

Are you asking about the old Wonders of Life Pavilion which is being transformed into the Play Pavilion?

So, the gravity building for this ride is literally one of the largest buildings by volume on the planet (in the top 20), at 40 million cubic feet.

Edit: oops big mess up on my part. Somehow Google Earth on my computer doubled the size of the length and the width. The actual cubic feet is closer to 10 million. My bad.

Which makes it roughly 5 million cubic feet bigger than Hangar One.

I'm sorry but I need those measurements in terms of how many SSE's it can hold. I actually measure everything based on amount of SSE's.

What do you mean "by volume"? I would think any moderately sized skyscraper would be substantially larger.

Yep, I don't know what happened but I measured it again and the length and width appear to have been doubled somehow the first time I measured it (Google Earth Pro). Glitch, I think. The actual volume is closer to 10 million cubic feet. Still really, really big, but much smaller than I got the first time. Sorry. My bad.
