Tower of Terror's Foxtrot doors have gotten the "disease"

[Rodj]

Bad news everyone, I have been watching some recent videos of ToT and I noticed in this video that the 7th Hortons doors weren't opening on the Foxtrot side, the door disease has spread from the Echo side:

Too me it's good news since I have been highly critical of those doors since '94.

What is door disease?

They stay open and never close...This happens a bit on Test Track before you launch out of the building..

Actually the opposite, what I meant is that the bottom doors(pics say this is called 7th Hortons) never opened.

I wouldn't think the doors staying stuck open is as experience-breaking on ToT as it is on TT.

I have been on Haunted Mansion once where this happened in the stretching room. It was bad.

I assume you've seen your fair share of misbehaving doors?...

To hell with a carefully constructed narrative! That door is too high up to be bothering with.

We’ve had long discussions about the ladder shortage in East Central Florida.

@marni1971 is a man of few words, however, sometimes I think he thinks we have a main pass into his brain and always know what he is thinking about. I'd be happier with just a few more words to connect the dots as I am sure he would be happier if I just limited my words to "Hi There".

Well, it could be worse. The TT doors could be stuck closed as you launch...

Something along the lines of.....

I don't get why TDO wont bother to fix the problem at all, Echo's 7th Horton doors have been facing the problem since the early 2000's.

Of all of the years I've visited Disney, I've never heard of this location. Also, after reading that, my mind went immediately, "Horton? Like Horton Hears a Who?"

It's been a very very very long week.

Im thinking im getting too technical for anyone to understand what I meant, Horton was the company who made the doors, and Echo is the side with the part of the sign saying Hollywood. Here is a pic a few months earlier to where the 8th Horton doors were messed up as well:

There was a livestream yesterday on Foxtrot that it looked like the 7th Horton doors were fixed, it seems that TDO only cares if its any other doors besides the 7th Horton doors on the Echo side.

I was beginning to wonder how this family was associated with ToT.

In all seriousness, I truly hope there is some infallable fail safe for those doors. Always made me a little nervous just imagining them not opening for some reason. Now that the ride has aged it's even more topical.

Sigh.

The Hortons have been failing for over a year now. Repeated calls to engineering and management to fix them have so far fallen on deaf ears.

For over a year.
