Yes they are. They are currenly building it in the Hollywood Pictures Backlot themed area.

It looks to be a great ride, but it lacks some of the best of the original.

It has a new look. More like an old 50s abandoned hotel in the heart of down town look.

I know, but I did perfer the old look.I am happy about them keeping the original unique in look, though.This one and the DLP one are ugly in my opinion.But, this ride will not have the roll-thru and will be a bit shorter.

Not Yet !!!

Disney studios paris will be getting ToT within the next few years, as long as attendance goes up. The ride will be next to RnRC, @ the HTH gates.

Incase anyones interested, IMO the best view of the ToT construction, is at the top of grizzly peak, just after the climb (i think)

Um, Tower of Terror in DCA is going to be set in 30's not 50's. The outside will be a lot a like however some different colors and some domes. The 5th Dimension was cut, but it has been said by many people that there will be a better effect that they weren't able to do for MGM's version. This is good thing for DCA and Disney is acting like they aren't cutting any corners.

Maybe this will do ??

As you can see, it's different from the one at MGM FL

I'll be out and about at the Resort this tuesday, I'll be sure to get a few photos of ToT construction. Basicly ours is a stripped version of Floridas that is going to cost roughly 50% more! Instead of having 2 drop shafts, DCA's will have 3, and the 4th dimension room will be removed! There will still be movement out of the shaft, but only for loading purposes. There will also be an extra show room (or andother "floor") in DCA's version and I'm sure it'll be getting the same effects and drop programs that Tower 4 @ WDW has. Expect TDS and DLP to get clones of DCA's version in 2006/2006 (as long as they figure out how to fix the land reclaimation thing @ TDS).

Some top Imagineers are still arguing that Cali Adventure's version will, in fact, be better in several ways than the Florida version--how? They obviously aren't saying, but they still believe in this ride. As for costing 50% more...they are also building this attraction 10 years after the last--probably about the same price, overall. Walt Disney Studios Paris will get theirs first, probably breaking ground at or around the opening of Cali Adventure's version, in a year. DisneySea will not get a clone, but rather a retheming to a New York theme.

WDWspider · Feb 3, 2003

I kinda agree, I think Imagineers knew ToT in Florida would go to Version 4 back when they said CA version would have more effects. I don't think it will be the same.

Covnut · Feb 3, 2003

Yeah, I think we can expect ToT4 drop sequences. But I hope they really keep to their word on a better effect then the FIFTH dimension room, not fourth!
