TOT 5 Coming soon

[CubbieMan]

How exactly is an update of the ToT a bad thing? MGM needs more, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't do this, too. I'm always up for upgrades to my favorite ride.

It is not a bad thing from the point of view of a TOT fan....I'm thinking more along the lines of a business perspective...Would people really arrange a trip to WDW just to check out yet another version of TOT. MGM is long overdue...thier is some major work need to be done.

I would just like to point out that the original tower of terror... on it's first day open to the public i rode it. and originaly at the top of teh ride it would spark. You would hear a snap... and teh elevator would tilt and swing to one side as if one cable had snaped. you heard another snap and WOOOOSH. you fell. it was awsome having the cable snap effect. But allas that is gone now.

Are you sure. Im not doubting you but I have never heard anything about that ever. And to be honest being familiar with the current ride system I really don't think that is possible. Maybe your memory is playing tricks on you.

It never had any "tilt" or "Sway" devices. It did drop a few inches and yes there were sparks.

This would be an interesting addition. I'm sure they would have to do all manner of tests to see what kind of physical force on the body this would exert. I would imagine there would also be a loss of at least one seat one column of seats, in order to make the ride vehicle more narrow so it could lean from side to side.

It wasnt really a tilt though was it. It was rapid jolting drop of a couple of inches.
