This, equally yous may recognize, is a maintenance service elevator, still in operation, waiting for you. We invite you, if you dare, to pace aboard considering in tonight's episode, you are the star, and this elevator travels directly to...the Twilight Zone."
- ―Rod Serling
The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror (or just the Belfry of Terror) is a fake freefall drop belfry thrill ride at Disney's Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, and at Walt Disney Studios Park at Disneyland Paris in Paris. It is based on the classic anthology television receiver series The Twilight Zone, and is hosted by the serial' creator and host every bit portrayed by Rod Serling (voiced past Mark Silverman in the allure). The ride, equally said in some promo videos, was allegedly based on a lost Twilight Zone episode.
The original incarnation of the allure opened at Disney'south Hollywood Studios in 1994 and the Paris version opened in 2007. A similar attraction that dropped the Twilight Zone theme opened at Tokyo DisneySea in Japan in 2006. 1 version of the ride opened at Disney California Run a risk at Disneyland Resort in California in 2004, but was after replaced with Guardians of the Galaxy - Mission: BREAKOUT! in 2017. Opening to rave reviews and hailed every bit an instant archetype upon release, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror has become one of the almost popular Disney attractions ever made. Its popularity even spawned a 1997 Television set pic, becoming the kickoff theme park ride to have a film accommodation.
The allure'south premise has guests visiting the abandoned Hollywood Tower Hotel. Once a lively resort for the Hollywood elite, it, unfortunately, airtight after a disastrous accident where lightning had struck the edifice, causing several wings of the hotel to vanish and kill 5 people in an elevator that plummeted on October 31, 1939. The hotel, now dilapidated and haunted, has mysteriously reopened having guests experience the events of that fateful night aboard one of the service elevators as they enter their own episode of The Twilight Zone.
The hotel's outside features a huge, blackened scorch mark beyond the forepart of the façade where lightning had struck that eerily glows purple at night. Elevator doors leading to the missing floors of the building are exposed, opening upon the arrival of screaming riders. All of the cast members wear a costume that resembles a bellhop from the 1930s. At over one yard (U.s.) dollars per compatible, it is the about expensive costume in the entire chain.
At 199 feet, it is the second tallest attraction in the Walt Disney World resort, adjacent to Expedition: Everest which stands 199.5 feet. (From 1999 to 2007, the Tower of Terror was third tallest, as the wand decorating Spaceship Earth temporarily added 41 feet to that 180-pes tall attraction.) The Tower of Terror is only 199 feet high at Walt Disney World considering of FAA regulations that crave a stock-still ruby light buoy to be added to the top of whatsoever 200-foot or taller building. Imagineers thought that the buoy would take away from the hotel's 1939 theme, but still wanted to make the tower as tall every bit possible. At the Disneyland Resort, the Collector'southward Fortress, which was originally the Belfry of Terror from 2004 to 2016, stands at 183 feet making it the tallest attraction at the resort, as well as the tallest building in Anaheim.
With the sabotage of The Sorcerer's Hat and the Earffel Tower, the Florida version of the attraction has been promoted to park icon status in promotional material and the My Magic Plus app.

Allure storyline and description
Garden at the Florida hotel entrance.
Queue & Pre-Show
In both versions of the attraction, guests enter the once-luxurious Hollywood Tower Hotel through its main archway gate, the in-story explanation being that you are booking a room or suite at the hotel to stay for a few nights on your vacation. The outdoor queue winds itself through the hotel's overgrown gardens, where ghostly 1930's jazz music plays, and enters the lobby. The lobby is filled with decades worth of dust, cobwebs, and various items left by guests from the dark of the incident.
From this point, guests are lead to the hotel'southward library to await equally their "rooms are still being prepped". Through the window, guests can observe that there is a thunderstorm going on outside. Lightning strikes and the boob tube comes on, patently of its own accord.
Florida lobby.
The opening sequence from Seasons 4 and 5 of The Twilight Zone plays, followed by an explanation of the events hosted past the narrator: the story of how 1 of the main lobby elevators plummeted later on being struck by lightning, causing the five people within (Carolyn Crosson, Gilbert London, Dewey Todd, Sally Shine, and Emeline Partridge) to vanish into the Twilight Zone. He and so invites the guests to stride aboard the maintenance service elevators, which sadly are the just elevators yet in operation in the hotel.
With that, the Television set abruptly shuts off and a sliding wall in the dorsum of the library opens. The guests exit the library and enter the boiler room, where they expect until their elevator is ready.
Ride
In one case onboard, the elevator ascends to diverse show floors while the voice of Rod Serling provides the narration. Riders witness the bizarre, unsettling nature of the hotel as they travel beyond the realm of the real world and farther into the "fifth Dimension". At some point, Serling informs the guests that they're at present about to experience what had happened to those 5 people all those years ago and the ride's drop sequence begins.
Although it is designed to feel like a freefall, the elevator is actually accelerated downward faster than the pull of gravity, making guests levitate out of their seats for extra thrills. Once the ride has finished, the guests exit the hotel, via passageways in the basement, into the ride photo viewing expanse, and the hotel gift shop.
Disney's Hollywood Studios version
Hotel library.
The ride system employs specialized engineering developed specifically for Disney, peculiarly the ability to motion the vehicle in and out of the vertical move shaft. The lift cars are cocky-propelled, automated vehicles that lock into the vertical motion cabs. The cabs move into and out of the elevators horizontally, move through the "Fifth Dimension" scene, and into the drop shaft.
Subsequently the vehicle has completed its drop profile, the vehicle propels itself to the unload area and then dorsum to the show shaft. The Floridian ride arrangement runs on a loop, though it's non every bit efficient as the newer "franchise" versions used in California, Paris, and Tokyo. The self-propulsion system used in the vehicles often causes some long and complicated downtimes which are, of course, frustrating to cast members and guests.
In this version of the attraction, the vocalization of Rod Serling greets the now-seated passengers the moment the elevator doors close, saying "You lot are the passengers on a most uncommon lift about to ascend into your very ain episode of The Twilight Zone". The elevator rises for a few seconds before coming to a cease.
The doors open up to reveal a corridor populated by the v lost ghostly occupants from 1939, who so disappear. The corridor fades to a starlit night sky, except the window at the terminate of the corridor. The window then morphs into a more ghostly black-and-white version and shatters (like in the opening sequence of each episode).
The elevator doors close again and the car continues ascending. Serling'due south vocalism continues: "Ane stormy night long ago, five people stepped through the door of an elevator and into a nightmare. That door is opening once again, and this time, information technology's opening for you".
At the peak, the doors open up over again and the auto mysteriously moves forward out of the shaft, through a department of the ride called "The Fifth Dimension": a surreal drove of objects and sights, once again in the fashion of the television show'south opening sequence. A field of stars appears at the stop of the corridor. After the segment is done, the stars fade, forming a subconscious Mickey right before disappearing, then reveals a vertical line, which splits in half and opens similar elevator doors. Serling's voice is heard again, saying "You are nearly to notice what lies across the fifth dimension, beyond the deepest, darkest corner of the imagination, in the Tower of Terror".
After the elevator moves into the shaft, the randomly-selected drop sequence begins. At one point, doors in front of the riders open to reveal a view of the park from a peak of 13 stories. In the years since the attraction's initial opening, a randomized design of drops and lifts accept been added, where the ride vehicle will driblet or rise various distances at different intervals. Other effects were also added, including new projection images of the breaking window, wind furnishings, ominous blackness-lit figures of the 5 ghostly original riders, and even fake endings. These changes were made to make every trip to the Twilight Zone a different feel.
Afterwards a series of these drops have been fabricated, the opening sequence of the testify's third season plays (showing images of the objects from Flavor 5'south opening, the lost passengers and Serling) as the vehicle enters the hotel's basement. Then Rod Serling's vocalisation says, "A warm welcome back to those of you who made it and a friendly give-and-take of warning; something you won't observe in any guidebook. The next time you lot check into a deserted hotel on the dark side of Hollywood, make sure you know just what kind of vacancy you're filling or you lot may find yourself a permanent resident...of The Twilight Zone." The elevator doors reopen for the last time and the guests disembark, making their way into the hotel's souvenir store, Tower Hotel Gifts.
The current slogan for the ride is "Never the Same Fear Twice!!"

On-Ride video
While retaining the aforementioned verbal concept and theme of the original attraction in Florida, the version at Disney California Adventure Park had some major differences.
Imagineers redesigned the unabridged ride system for the west coast incarnation of the allure and fabricated some general changes to many show scenes. The attraction featured three elevator shafts. Each shaft, in theory, is its own separate ride with its ain separate operating organisation. Doing this made it easier to repair individual areas of the attraction without causing the entire attraction to get down.
Each shaft has two vehicles and two loading levels. It is designed and so that the lower vehicle tin be in profile while the upper vehicle is loading, making the attraction much more than efficient. Since each vehicle loads and unloads from the aforementioned signal, it also saves space. Since this system works and so much more than efficiently, it is the system used in both the Paris and Tokyo versions of the ride every bit well.
When the testify cycle started, the vehicle pushed astern away from the elevator door while a starfield and a regal screw appeared on the doors. The voice of Rod Serling said: "You are the passengers of a most uncommon elevator, about to take the strangest journey of your lives. Your destination...unknown, but this much is clear--a reservation has been made in your proper noun for an extended stay." A door closes, placing riders in darkness as the lift ascended.
The commencement stop for the elevator was a hallway with a large mirror. Rod Serling told the riders to "wave good day to the real globe". As they do, lightning struck and electricity began to arc around the mirror and the reflection of the riders is replaced by a ghostly silhouette of themselves. The passengers' reflection then disappears every bit Serling says "For you have simply entered...The Twilight Zone!" This was actually a thermal-mirror, which shuts off to reveal the dummy vehicle behind it. The lift door closed as information technology moved to the next testify scene.
As the door reopened, it revealed a corridor of the hotel, with an elevator door located on the far end of information technology. Here, Serling said "What happened hither to dim the lights of Hollywood'due south brightest showplace is nearly to unfold once once more", which is followed by an appearance of the ghosts of the v passengers. Electricity coursed through the hallway after their disappearance as Serling said: "One stormy nighttime long agone, five people stepped through the door of an elevator and into a nightmare." The hallway slowly faded away into a starfield with the lost passengers standing in the at present-open elevator that was at the end of the hallway. Serling then says "That door is opening over again, but this time, it's opening for you." The haunted elevator then drops.
A second later, the guests' elevator began its driblet sequence: a drib from the show scene to the commencement floor, then ascension to the "13th" floor. After flashing strobe lights and the photo opportunity, the elevator has a short drop, followed by a longer one, then a rise that goes ii/3 of the style up to the peak and an firsthand autumn downwardly to "B3." The lights flicker every bit the elevator goes all the way support to the tiptop. It is then that the top flooring doors open and you are treated to a sky-high overview of both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure.
Information technology paused there for a moment and fell into place betwixt the load levels (and so that both load levels requite the same ride) and a door opens again and y'all see an elevator door. The vehicle then moved toward the door. The Twilight Zone theme began to play once again as Rod Serling said, "The next fourth dimension you check into a deserted hotel on the dark side of Hollywood, be sure you lot know just what kind of vacancy you're filling or you may find yourself a permanent resident...of The Twilight Zone."
The door opened and the guests disembarked from the ride vehicle, making their fashion to the Tower Hotel Gifts shop.
