Has the Tower of Terror elevator ever gotten stuck in the drop shafts?

I only noticed them a few years ago, as it seems to be more of a “rare” sequence for me. If you get the sequence, you can’t really miss it. I personally wish the elevator stopped at that scene for a shorter amount of time though, as you almost completely stop and the effect is partially ruined by the amount of time you can see it (when I’ve gotten the scene the elevator bounced infront of the scene for five seconds or so).
Anyways, now you have something to find on your next trip!

A couple quick photos of the couple
And the Nanny and Child.
And the Nanny and Child.
Kinda funny they are so adamant about the figures not existing, then you linked a thread with them acknowledging the exact effect in the next post without realizing.
On the lowest level. The tower itself has an elevator, (2?) sets of stairs, corridors and equipment/ storage rooms. All very utilitarian.

Also note the air canons between the figures. If they work they’re supposed to blast the guest cabin.
Worth noting this is actually a programmed drop sequence. Number 9 if I recall.
Of course if all else fails it’s a very slow extraction party held by the RCFD, guest by guest.

Are these in different shafts I'm guessing and not all in the same shaft?

That's right. They are in the same place but in different shafts. The couple are in Foxtrot. The nanny and child are in Echo.

My brothers and I would always shout out "HAUNTING IN THE SHAFT! HAUNTING IN THE SHAFT!" every time we would ride, whether we saw them or not. As a child the idea terrified me, but I love that they are there now.

Yes, in retrospect, I suppose it was.

A bit late to add on here, the current breakdown lights(installed in the late 2010's) that come on are at opposite corners above the AGV. There are some extra work lights pointed up at the top of the VVC/Lift but are not used for a breakdown. Originally the themed ceiling and wall lights were the lights that would come on. There are some themed wall lights in the drop shaft that were originally used as well as the wall lights in the VVC/Lift for the original drop sequence, wish they would bring those back.

I had a great run a few years back where both the figures lit up flashing super bright and their air cannons were BLASTING. Super effective jump scare. Never saw them do that before.

Great to know! Since it is looking like I will not be able to get to the parks anymore, I had forgotten about your great video's and am now looking forward to checking out your new ones. Hope all is well with you!
Thank you. I’m plodding on still. Sorry you won’t be out and about as much but think of the money you’ll save
