Tower of Terror-Walt Disney World

 As we have been featuring Disney's Hollywood Studios on the Walt Disney Maniacs page on Facebook this past week, we are in the section for Tower of Terror. How many of you have been on this?  How many have not?  How many love it, and how many can't stand it?  How many are too chicken to go in it, like me?

This is a photo from the queue area on the bulletin board, the message has letters that mysteriously drop at certain times, to make a new message of their own.  "EVIL TOWER  U R DOOMED" is what is spells out!

 Featured today in our Facebook post:
The rooms and corridors of the Hollywood Tower Hotel are full of items from Hollywood auction houses. These are actual furnishings from the lavish estates of some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry. One glance around the hotel at a chair, a table, a lamp, a set of brushes, gives one the feeling that the lost era of Hollywood lives on in this stately old hotel. Some items are particularly valuable: one set of leather chairs is an authentic Renaissance antique. Similar sets of these 400-year old chairs are in New York's Metropolitan Museum and London's Victoria and Albert Museum. Other chairs were originally from the exclusive Jonathan Club, a well-known Los Angeles landmark built in the 1920's. Numerous French bronzes are found throughout the hotel, some by the famous 19th century artist Moreau, whose work graced many of the best hotels of the period.

  1. I was a complete wuss and didn't even go near this ride as I felt it didn't have anything to offer me. However this all changed on my last trip! I fell in love with everything from the dusty hotel reception to the eery elevators. I even enjoyed the ride and am now totally hooked!
