There are more details in the dark in the Tower of Terror’s drop than you've likely ever noticed before... but once you see them, the ride will never be the same.
Drop in with us on this episode of Distory with Kate & Kirk as we check into the Hollywood Tower Hotel to decipher the history, secrets, and stories hidden within the design. In this episode, we buckle up for the big drop, falling into the fifth dimension by exploring some Imagineering storyboards, concept art, and some bizarre objects in the drop shaft that most people miss.
After we discuss how the epilogue has changed since 1994, we spend some time in the unload hold area, finding some unique connections back to the Twilight Zone series and some of our own nostalgia along the way. We end this episode with some hilarious vintage radio ads, a terrifying chair, and an audio animatronic that almost was.
