Has anyone ridden tower of terror in Tokyo DisneySea? |
Travel Info How is it? Does it compare to the one in Disney World (if you've ridden that one too)? I've been on the one's in Disney World and Disneyland in CA. Disney World's in MGM Studios is by far better, but I see this one in Tokyo has a different storyline. Opinions? Travel Tips The story line is drastically different and the ride is also different too...somewhat. In the WDW (Walt Disney World) one...the ride works in a circle almost. First you are loaded, go up to a show floor, then rise up to transfer floor where you are moved into the drop lift (yes thats an oxymoron) and thats where the main action takes place. After that you descend to the offload platform, then the ride vehicle itself backs into the load elevator and awaits further boarding by other passengers. In the TDR (Tokyo Disneyland Resort) one...through the ingenious use of a hallway...your boarding point is also your exit point. In the wait area where you stand on your numbered circle...there's your standard elevator door...but right behind that is not only the elevator...but a hallway where you follow signs to exit. You won't notice it much once you walk through to the car. When the ride begins...you literally get thrown back to the drop lift and go through the similar routine of the other Tower of Terrors in the world. You have the show...then you get thrown up and down...only other catch is that when you return to ground level...you get thrown forward back to the loading dock. On the whole the TDR one is slower, shorter, and more "bouncy" than the one at WDW. And what i mean by bouncy is that every time the ride slows down to travel in the opposite direction (like first it goes down then starts to go up again) it does so very slowly and you feel like the thing is bouncing you like a yo-yo. It is less intense and on the whole less pleasurable than the WDW version. But the ride is still worth it because of those differences...and because the preshow is just so freaking awesome....THEY MAKE A STATUE DISSAPPEAR...perhaps i've said too much. Ride it...compare it...and most of all have fun with it. Others The storyline is different but the ride itself is the EXACT same. That goes for Back to the Future at Universal Studios Japan as well. |
