The Tokyo version omits The Twilight Zone theme. Other versions of The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror are located at Disney’s California Adventure, Walt Disney Studios Paris, and Tokyo DisneySea, debuting in 2004, 2007, and 2006, respectively.The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror’s facade blends with the edifices at Epcot‘s Morocco pavilion.Upon reaching the Tower’s apex, guests are treated to a panoramic view of the park through a window. A wire at the bottom of the vehicle renders the drop “faster than gravity.” The randomization of the drops was allowed by computer reprogramming completed in late-2002. Riders are dropped up to 13 stories multiple times in random intervals. The grand finale of The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror is the freefall.This scene was based on The Twilight Zone episode “Little Girl Lost.” Here, the vehicles move horizontally between separate elevator shafts. Amidst sights of a star field, the elevator vehicles, guided by computerized wires, enter “The Fifth Dimension” scene.The video in the library, which informs guests that they are going to be the stars of the attraction, is a clip from The Twilight Zone episode “It’s a Good Life.” Rod Serling is juxtaposed in the clip, but the audio was provided by voice actor Mark Silverman.After winding through an outdoor courtyard, guests enter a dusty lobby filled with antiques, sculptures, furniture, and a reception desk, before viewing a video in the library and being escorted to the elevators by a bellhop. The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror is exquisitely themed throughout.
Though promotional videos show guests standing in the attraction’s freefalling elevator, guests actually sit and are harnessed with seatbelts.The Imagineers deemed such an inclusion obstructive to the attraction’s theme.
Imagineers elected not to make the structure any taller because FAA regulations require red light beacons to be attached to any building 200 feet or taller.
