New TDS Tower of Terror concept art!

[pyschotropic]

We'll it's not the Twilight Zone but it looks like the Japanese will get a even bigger and better version of the Tower of Terror it even sounds like this version will take full advantage of the horizontal movement just like MGM but bigger and better!
Here is the link www.themeparkadventure.com/totlg.jpg

Very cool. Know anything else about the ride?

Do I count four elevator shafts????

Based on that image, it looks like it's going to be a DCA-style Tower with horizontal movement only for load/unload.

 

[Disneyland/DCA]

I think that's the best looking 'Tower'

Will this tower not be themed to the Twilight Zone and have a different story line? Is it at Disney Seas?

I read somewhere that it was going to have a different story line than the Studios and DCA, but I can't remember where I read it.

That concept art for Tokyo has been around for a month or so now. Yes it is going into Disney Seas, and no it will not have a Twilight Zone theme.
The story is something like this:
"It will all take place in the Tower Hotel, a major city landmark built by the wealthy Orwell Tower who tried to open both the hotel and one of the world’s best luxury cruise liners at the same time. The party for the launching of the ship was to be held at a club on the top floor called “The Top of The Tower”. Similar to the story line of the original Tower of Terror... lightning strikes the hotel, guests vanish, and tragedy also strikes Mr. Tower’s gigantic cruise liner as well, with all hands lost at sea. What happens next will likely have to remain a mystery until 2006. "

So the $170 million price tag probably also involves building a haunted cruise liner...wonder if that will be a separate attraction or if it will be where the queue snakes through--I know lines at the Tokyo Disneyland Resort tend to be exceedingly long...

Does anyone know if construction on the TDS version has begun yet?

 

[Lee]

Site preparation is underway.
No actual "construction" as of yet.

And it will in fact be a copy of the one at DCA, structurally at least.
Horizontal movement only for load and unload, no 5th diminsion, and of course a different theme.
Also like DCA's, it won't be sitting on a hill like MGM's, rather it will resemble a city hotel, like one in New York, for example.

I don't think the Tower will involve a haunted cruiseliner perhaps just in the storyline remeber for Disney the story is everything. I think this will perhaps be the best Tower of Terror ever built seeing as Disney Imagineers have a bigger budget in Japan.

Im jealous of the uber cool designs tokyo gets...grr

 

[JLW11Hi]

I'm guessing this ride will go in that one "American" themed area of DisneySea... I forget the name, but the centerpiece of this area is a giant ship...

 

[bizkid]

thats some cool art:sohappy: thanks alot

 

[All Star Nathan]

So what is going in to replace horizontal movement? Is it just going to be a drop sequence? I don't like that idea!
