The rumors say that this will be like the one in the movie. Remeber when they were running towards the elevator shaft, then it opened and flames came out? Well, think of that, only your in the elevator, there's smoke around you, you feel heat, and you hear crackling around you.

Maybe I'm not understanding what you're saying, or I'm not remembering the ride sequence correctly, but where else would you go other than up?Originally posted by mocfan
There is one sequence where after the door closes, you go straight up, according to what I have been told by a reliable source.

skipping the story would ruin the entire ride for me. 
That's one thing I love so much about the ride is the special effects it has. and even though i've riden it more times than I can count, when the ghosts wave at you and when the invisible door thing opens i still get shivers on the ride. But these effects and the new drop sequence sound awesome and it makes me even more anxious to ride the tower.

He probaly means skipping the 4th dimension. He's probably confusing it with the new DCA version
In the DCA version they've simplified the attraction to stop at, but not travel through, the 4th dimention.(saving them a few million $$$)

I wasn't aware they had a sequence that dropped first, before going up. Short drop.

Ok, the last time I was on it (September) I swear I saw what looked like two people in metallic radiation suits in the dark at one point in the drop just a little below the outside doors. After having my eyes exposed to bright daylight and then being dropped into darkness it was hard to be sure of what I saw and I was apparently the only person in my group (or the car for that matter) to notice. After being told for a half an hour that I was crazy, I finally dismissed it but I wonder if that is in any way part of the new effects... I couldn't go on it again because I was the only one who wanted to (which is also why I haven't gotten to go on it since 
)... Anyone else notice this or am I just crazy? I'm pretty sure it was the right shaft (if you were standing in front, looking at it)

I saw them too when I was at WDW in August. I rode ToT at least 8 times that trip and made a point of looking for them on each ride. They appear to be human size & shaped forms made out of clear plastic. They are on a ledge/alcove facing you in the elevator near the outside doors. The faint light from the outside doors is just enough so that you can see them, but you have to look quick!
As I remember, you only see them during the first drop or after the first drop that takes you up to the outside doors. After that, you zoom by that point in the shaft too quickly to see them again.
