Whats my sign?

[tenchu]

In Tot, is there a gap behind the sign saying 'Hollywood tower hotel'?

Because this is where the elevator shaft which disappears was meant to be situated, but.....


There's a big sign right across there. Any pics which would show this gap?

i just got back from the world where i went on ToT for the first time... i may have been seeing things but i got the feeling that i was inside an O... or something, so maybe the doors are behind the sign?
i dunno...

I'm lost, what are you talking about?

 

[wdwcrazy]

I'm not sure what you're talking about either. There are 2 elevator shafts, both towards the left and right of the building. There's no shaft right down the middle of the building.

Not quite sure what your getting at either...

I think he may be talking about a shaft that was supposed to be an effect for the attraction.

The way it sounds, there was supposed to be an elevator that would appear to dissapear, just like what happened to the ghosts. Maybe that is why it looks like the building is damaged right where you are pointing out.

I think he is talking about the whole wing that dissapeared with the elevater and the guests. Look closly durring the pre-show.

And he is right. Where the sign is should be the elevator shafts and that wing of the hotel.

Are they talking about the whole section the dissapeared, and how the sign is there, if there use to be a another portion of buliding there? If so, then the storlyline goes... that the sign fell down to where it is now. I think.

I see what you're saying. If the whole wing dissapeared, why isn't floors 1 thru 5 affected? Theres no charred area showing where it connected to the building.

i dont know... i wasnt one of the imagineers/architects...

Bad planning or just something that was missed is my guess...

That was what i was talking about!

How come the sign is across there?

In the pre-show, i think it shows this area getting hit by lightning, and this area is damaged, yet the sign covers this bit.
Me no comprende.

(And i know the 'service' elevator shafts are situated on either side of this.)

Here's another one which might show what i mean better.

WOW, i never realized how BIG the building was. (wide x deep)

Yup, that view is normally kept well hidden. (Cheers to whoever i pinched this photo from!)

since the building is so big what is the rest of the building used for? Office space?

Well you've got all your preshows, loading areas, and probably a fair bit of spare space ( in the tower anyway I'm told.)
