I just saw this in the rumors section of www.disneydreams.net It is dated 9-8-02.
09/08/2002 - Being a HUGE Tower of Terror fan and riding it well over 100 times since its inception....needless to say I "know" this attraction. I know changes are coming very soon as well....and what I experienced was simply awesome....granted they didnt have any/all of the special effects going on but I did see some of the changes. I rode the right drop chamber twice to make sure I saw what I think I saw. When you get pushed out in to the drop chamber, it started "bouncing" around in the chamber in both a vertical and horizontal motion. Then that bright light from before would come up and blind you and the drop. This time...we didnt just drop...we fell...and when i mean fell i mean...butt off the seat...the car pulling us down....type falling. When you reach the bottom of the chamber...right before you start to go back up....you can see a figure standing in the "window"...I couldnt tell if it was moving or not, but it did look like one of the people from the first stop on your way up. So now we are on our way to the top on the chamber and this thing is mov'n....of course it stops at the top to take your picture...then hold on to your britches....cause we are being forced down at MUCH faster rate of speed than we did before, just like the initial drop. I want to say it dropped us 4 (full) times the first trip and only 3 (full) on the second. It could have been the random drop sequence...or it could have been the fact I wasnt in my seat unless we were going up and simply miscounted. Now apply this to the rumors that Disney is altering the cars by removing lapbars and replacing them with seatbelts....everyone gets the "suicide seat" now. Either way....when all the effects are on....it will be one phenomonal attraction. Im going back in 5 weeks and hopefully Disney will have fully converted over.
