It has a new look. More like an old 50s abandoned hotel in the heart of down town look.
Lots of great TOT construction photos at www.westcoaster.net

Did you say that Disneyland Paris has one?????????
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.

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.
