The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror
Considered by most as the best ride at Walt Disney World, the Tower of Terror is the tallest building of all parks. As you approach the entrance, the mood is immediately set by the exterior look of the building. Inside, it looks just like an abandoned 1930s Hollywood Hotel would look, if you can imagine it. Some guests are scared to ride just because of the mood and setup of the interior. The Disney castmembers even act creepy like they are possessed. Creepy!! The main ride is a free fall drop in service elevators, but Disney does a great job of adding even more fear and uncertainty. This ride is fantastic. One more thing, someone there with you will call it Terror of Tower, guaranteed.
Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith
Right beside the Tower of Terror is the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster. This is an indoor roller coaster that has loops and sharp 4-G turns. The ride goes from 0-60 mph in 2.8 seconds, and has 125 speakers in each vehicle blasting Aerosmith music the entire time. You ride in super-stretched limousines in the dark surrounded by signs in black light.
Beauty and the Beast- Live on Stage
This is a Broadway-style production of the Oscar award-winning animated movie. Just as in The Hunchback of Notre Dame, the singing, appearance, and actions of the characters is exactly like the movie. This play is in a larger ampitheater than Hunchback, and is a little more polished. This is a great show, but Hunchback is still #1.
Fantasmic!
Every Disney park has a night show with fireworks, music, and lights. Fantasmic has all of that and much more. This show is the best night show by Disney. Crowds start to gather at least an hour or two before showtime. During the peak months, they put on two shows just to satisfy everyone. You sit in a very large ampitheater facing a lake and an island where the action takes place. Mickey is the star of this show, but almost all Disney stars are present at some time or another. The unique thing about the show is that in between the live action between Mickey and the villians, there are animated shorts displayed on water mist. I've never seen anything like it. The water mist serves as huge projector screens. I can't say anything more about it. You'll just have to see if for yourself. |
