Today was the first day of preview for annual passes owner.

I haven't tested any of the other towers so I can't compare but this was really great. For those of you who have already rode the Californian version this is the exact same copy so I think it must feel the same. This is a really great addition to the park in which there was an obvious lack of rides and thrills.
Since you guys already know what it is no need to do a long speech, photos are more meaningful...

So does this have a hallway from the elevator door to the actual elevator like all the other TOT wannabes?

^It's pretty much just like building a hotel. They've got a lot of furniture, a boiler room, and a ride tower in it! That's some intense work!

Wow, this is an exact copy of the ride in MGM Studios in Fla., right? That's pretty cool, brings back a lot of memories.

Ahh, I rode the one in California! It's really a great ride, one of my favorite flat rides actually. I would say it's a nice addition to any Disney park even if they are using the same design.

I don't particularly like the external part of the hotel...Florida's one is the best.It looks too "new"[:D]
The internals always have the magic of Disney.Nothing similar on this planet.

I must admit,among the impressive number of coasters and rides,the Towers of Terror are the best concept of thrill ever created.Once I saw a video with their secrets and I realized how they worked.
It's incredible that a human mind has created those effects,elevators mechanism,lights effects,the thermal mirror....EVERYTHING.
I never forgot the "hotel floor" scene with the holograms.I felt I was inside another dimension.

Well each pass has the right to bring one person. But you've got to pay your entrance ticket anyway [;)]

So get into the park and I'll get you into the Tower [:D]
