However, I've been following your discussions.
Now, about two weeks ago, I had the wonderful chance to test ride "The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror" at the Walt Disney Studios - and I wanted to share a few thoughts that I have about this attraction... (Don't worry, I'll try to keep it spoiler-free.)
The work inside was about 99,5% done, while they still added the finishing touches to the entrance area of the "Hollywood Tower Hotel".
The attention to detail of the whole experience is amazing: the hotel lobby looks beautifully (but then again, they still hadn't added the dust to the props Wink), the artifacts inside of the two libraries are amazing pieces and there's enough eye-candy in these rooms alone. Same goes for the boiler-room, which has kind of a hellish-quality to it due to being two stories high. (Also, the detail in here is amazing...) The effects inside of the elevator shafts were all running and pretty impressive. And then: the view! Just breathtaking... One can see pretty much all of the Studios as well as everything at Disneyland from Big Thunder Mountain to Space Mountain.
I'd call the drop-program "Disney-thrilling", as in: true thrill-seekers might be a bit disappointed, but just as thrilling as, lets say, "Rock'n'Rollercoaster". But then again, it's not about the thrill but about the whole experience...
And in this case... well, let's put it this way: the "Tower of Terror" managed to transport me into another world. To a Hollywood that never was. To a place, that just existed in my imagination... It's the very first attraction at the Walt Disney Studios to do so. And in my book, it reminds me of the very best Disney-storytelling (and story-setting) like DLP's "Pirates of the Caribbean" or "Phantom Manor".
All in all - even if one should prefer the versions of the ride in California, Florida or Japan -, I view "The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror" as the best, most "Disney"-ride ever since the opening of Disneyland Parks 15 years ago...
