I went to MGM Studios on Thursday (Jan. 2,2003) because me and my parents heard they were changing it. It was awesome!! It dropped us so many times I couldn't keep track of them! It started playing "It's raining, it's pouring" and there was light and air and it was SO cool!! If you haven't been on it yet, go on it! lol! It's the best it's ever been!

Tower of Terror 4 is simply what they are calling the new ride profiles, featuring random drop sequences and new effects.
It's great.

I just got back. I rode it on Christmas Eve. And it was my first time!! I was SO shocked! We rode in the last row twice. Then the front row another time. It was awesome. One of the sequences, they show two ghostlike figures...it was pretty freaky! lol, but awesome! :D

I rode it twice this past week, and unfortunately didn't reap the benefits of the change. The first time was basically the same as ToT 3, and the second was the same as that with a little more "shaking". No big changes were experienced, and I was very disappointed. Oh well, there's always next time.

EDIT: I take that back, there were new sounds that went along fantastic with the ride. Plus, I got to see the best ToT CM ever! The one that is classic Hollywood Tower Hotel--you know, the one on the Travel Channel specials. He's awesome!!

When we rode it....it took us up first, then down, then up then down....and so on. But every single time was different.

Yes, you do get dropped. Yes, you do go back up. How many times this occurs depends on the drop sequence.

the sequences average 3 big drops and several smaller ones. Bout the same as Tower 3 (one sequence is almost exactly the same), just more violent and, obviously, variable. Steve has diagrams of the sequences on the site.

TOWER TALK--YEA--i have gone on all the new profiles of tower 4---this as taken from my doombuggies.com thread--thats why it saysfriday--its old-I rode it friday, and one word--Awesome. Here is how it went

Friday morning, very crappy day. Pouring rain, i went 10 miles down the road with my mom, sis, and bro. We stepped out of the car at the TTC. We walked into the MK at 9.15. It was a ghost town in there, My brother and i did the HM splash mountain and thunder all in a half hour. It was bright and sunny at 9.45 and it was gettin a little busier. My bro and I decided to go to MGM to conquer "the tower"--there i was, standing in front of The Hollywood Tower Hotel, Watching the elevators, looking at the different drops. I could'nt wait any longer, i had to go. The first time i went on it, it was the same profile as the old program, which kinda bummed me out, my solution, do it again!. The second time, it was a complete suprise. After going through the fifth demension, and having serling say, "ITS TIME TO DISCOVER WHAT LIES BEYOND THE FIFTH DEMENSION, INSIDE THE DEEPEST DARKEST CORNERS OF YOUR IMAGINATION, IN THE TOWER OF TERROR"-Me having being a TOT junkie, expected to plunge down he shaft, but instead shot strait up, which really suprised me. Before I could relize what happend, i experienced MAJOR airtime when we got up to the first series of hortons, or doors, and without even stopping, we plunged down the whole shaft, or what seemed like all of it, but after we dropped, we went up like 5 feet and then dropped about 15 feet, which totally suprised me. At the bottom, we saw the iluminated ghosts at the bottom of the shaft. We then shot straight back up to the top of the shaft and had our picture taken. After the picture, we plunged to the bottom set of hortons,stopped, and then continued at full speed to the bottom. At the bottom , we got blasted with chilled air, and the elevator stopped. All of the sudden, Blue orbs appeared in front of our face, the ghosts that dissappeared, halloween night 1939. They appeared,And before we Could get a look, we shot up the shaft again, all the way up and down,without stopping. and it was over, this was the best profile i experienced out of all of em, but only experienced this one twice, the original, and the one simialar to this one except, after the fifth demension, you dropped down, and instead of seeing the ghosts, you saw the window breaking--I have yet to ride 2 of the the new profiles. Going Sun. Cant wait ----


here is my other post, having ridden the other profiles


--anyway just got back from MGM again. This time i got an entirely new profile , After going through the 5th demension, the elevator shot strait up, stopped, and continued up to the bottom series of doors, and plunged all the way to the bottom--We shot straight back up , paused, and fell, then went to the middle of the shaft and stopped-got blasted air and saw the figuures of 2 ghosts illuminated by a blue strobe light, and then continuing to the top, dropping to the bottom and then up and down one more time--my friend and i have taken it upon ourselves to name the profiles--there 4 in total--
1-the original
2-ghost flash-(the 1 i just talked about)
3-ghost screen- the one where the ghosts appear on the unload screen
4-window screen-the one where the window appears on the unload screen

if you could, please help me pass these names along--thanks
