Tower of Terror effects status watch

[Rodj]

We have more projection fixes (well, color corrections in this case as the window is still mirrored), this time in Charlie. Strange that it’s about 2 months apart from the last fix and not sure if Bravo or Delta have similar changes rn but it’s nice to see it wasn’t just a one time thing:



(noticed the ghost projection is slightly offset)

Good to see they didn't forget about this. Looks like the projectors were moved around. I do think that because of it not being centered, it confirms my theory about the floor projection being from a separate projector, as that still looks like it is centered:

Wish they would also adjust the zoom on the ghost projector, it's much more smaller than what it should be at. Another thing I've noticed is that after the change, the window projector isn't turning off after the projection finishes.

Huh. Good observation. Yeah the projection is not only off-centered but not displaying at the right size. These are literally tweaks you can change on the projector itself with only minimal AV knowledge. This is why Disney needs a dedicated AV team for their rides like Universal has.

Also lol at the woman saying "I didn't realize this was a Twilight Zone theme" while already on the ride. I hope she was being sarcastic!

We rode yesterday and I noticed the ghosts were smaller, and their feet didn’t touch the ground like (I thought) normally.

If you notice a flaw in Tower of Terror, it's almost certainly due to improper maintenance. I'm certain they're supposed to touch the ground

Yeah this seems to be an issue in just this shaft strangely enough, the window projection not turning off was also happening before the changes IIRC.

Also did anyone catch the weird automated voice at the end of the video? Seemed to be listing off ride stats or something and sounded like it was coming from the same speakers as the return spiel (may be unrelated but very strange nonetheless)

Well, the change was reversed sometime in the past week on Bravo, it's now back to displaying in grayscale again. I wish I was making this up. Unsure about the other shafts.
