Maybe this is in the wrong place but I was wondering what the original drop sequence for TOT was when it opened. I'm guessing it just slowly took you to the top and dropped but i never rode it. any ideas?

Too much for a 4year old?
Is tower of terror too much for a 4 and 1/2 year old? she is tall enough now. she is not scared of dark, monsters etc. but i dont want to freak her out. not worth it. my husband and i rode this 10 years ago on our honeymoon and wow! said we would never ride again....just because of the drops.... scary fun! But, our daughter like the "tummy tickles" so we are thinking she might like it, but then again mihgt be too much for that young age. please let me knwo if anyone has had an experience with this with your kids.

She should have a blast. My youngest did ToT at about the same age and it has been her favorite ride in all of WDW ever since. Granted she has been a thrill ride junkie since birth but it sounds like your daughter is not much different. Do not force your daughter to ride and let her know that she can back out at anytime before she puts her seat belt on.Is tower of terror too much for a 4 and 1/2 year old? she is tall enough now. she is not scared of dark, monsters etc. but i dont want to freak her out. not worth it. my husband and i rode this 10 years ago on our honeymoon and wow! said we would never ride again....just because of the drops.... scary fun!

If that happens you will just have to let me know when you plan to visit and she can ride it over and over again with my 7 year old.:lol:That could be a bad thing too.

It's not too bad.
Remember now the drop sequence is random everytime sooo
it may catch her off guard.
Have fun! :sohappy:
There is a big drop the whole height of the shaft - maybe more than one - plus full height ascentions. Depends which of the random profiles (programs) the computer gives you. Plus little ones, bunny hops, shakes - and a lot of visual effects to keep your eyes open for too

as a floridian and worldphile i have ridden every change to the ride and i must say in the beginning the one and done drop was kind of anticlimatic. but over the years the tower has gotten better. (can't be said of most rides)

I remember differently, can anyone correct me if I am wrong?
I can swear I rode Tower in its innagural year, and I remember the 5th dimension room, then the door opened and it showed a deep purple cement wall--the back of the elevator shaft. You dropped down initially then climbed again for the final 13 story drop.
Was that version two? I could have also sworn version 2 was "twice the fright" and was a double drop from floor number 13.

The version described in the above two post was the second version, but was never promoted as an "official" version or anything.
The original solo drop lasted a little over the first year.
