Be careful when checking into The Hollywood Tower Hotel, because you may never check out. The once posh hotel, popular with Hollywood’s elite, is now home to four guests and a bellhop who took a ride on an elevator one night. Sad to say, they never made it to their floor.
After checking in at the Twilight Zone’s Hollywood Tower Hotel Tower of Terror you will be escorted to the hotel’s library. Before entering the library you will pass by the guest elevator that appears to be out of service. When you get to the library, you will not be able to read one of the many dust-covered books, because a thunderstorm knocks out the power as you enter the Twilight Zone.
Your adventures will then take you through the hotel’s boiler room. Since the main elevator is out of service, you will need to take the service elevator, where you and 27 other guests will bravely face thrilling and chilling drops. One after another.
If you dare and choose to not close your eyes you will get a fascinating view of Disney’s Hollywood Studios, including the Earful Tower.
Phew. You survived. But before leaving the hotel, do not forget to take a look at your picture that was taken during one of the big drops. Now tell me…Did you smile? Or Scream?
If you choose to ride The Twilight Zone’s Hollywood Tower Hotel Tower of Terror you can do so at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. It is down Hollywood Boulevard across from Rock N Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith.
Fast passes are available for this ride. Remember, only one fast pass is issued per park ticket every two hours. So, I would suggest that you get a fast pass for Rock N Roller Coaster, which usually has a longer line, and then go wait in line for Tower of Terror.
If you enjoy the spookiness of Tower of Terror, but do not want the thrills, check out The Haunted Mansion at the Magic Kingdom Park.
