Tower Of Terror drop sequences

[glendroid]

i've read on sites that there are only 4 different drop sequences and from that i've been able to memorize all of them and recognize them while riding.

but yesterday i rode a totally new one. can any one confirm?

Cool, thanks for posting that!

Though I've found that the same sequence can have slight variances in each drop shaft (Echo/Foxtrot), possibly just due to slight differences in response time, etc of the systems.

There have also been times where the bounce/shudder at the bottom of the shaft during the "fake ending" of one of the sequences is more pronounced some times but not others. That could have to do with the weight of the Guests in the car, though.

I liked it much better before the "random" was put in. Now rather than ever feel that trill/terror of the floor dropping out, I just feel like a yo-yo....

There are oo combinations. It is RANDOM!(oo is infinity)

Its a random selection of 4 profiles.

Thanks for the info. I can't imagine rocketing upwards after entering the drop shaft.

Not everyone. There are only 4 drop sequences. Not infinity. Not 8. Just 4.

For the moment.

But it does select the drop sequence you get randomly, so they aren't lying about the "random" part.

Thanks for posting that. Yep - a random selection from four possible choices. It's like saying, pick a number between 1 and 4. I think it's neat though that you can figure out which of the four sequences you're on as I have never been able to do that. To me, every ride seems different as if it really was infinite.

I agree with the other poster that the drop sequences that they have now ruin the effects of the ride. Before It really felt like a cable snapped and you were falling to your death. Now I feel like I'm bouncing on a trampoline when I ride TOT. It's still FUN mind you...but to me, it's no longer terrifying.

I don't know... I was scared before, but one drop wasn't much. I hadn't ridden TOT much but in my last trip in May we had one (I think the top right sequence) that had us at the bottom and started playing a video.. I thought we were done until the video quickly shut off and we shot up real fast. It really caught me off guard and made the ride amazing. I had never had that happen before.
