Hey There Hy there Ho there!

In the last weeks, there was much visible progress at Walt Disney Studios Park in France. The Tower is rising every day:

Amazing how fast the Tower is rising.

I hope these Pics mostly from dlrp.fr are interesting for you. I always think that Construction Pictures are interesting, because once you have the final attraction it is hard to remember how it looked while it was built.

In 4 weeks the Tower itself (only the blank building) should be ready, then I am going to post new pictures of the first theming.

Greetings from Europe, Wuzefelix

Great photos. Thanks for posting them. I too think it's cool to see something being built--buildings, manufacturing plants, etc.

Ooh - that is a good one! Looks more like it is bowing out in the middle - strange. Anyways, thanks much for all the photos, it is great to see the progress of the tower. Looks to me like it will be wider than MGM's - or is that just another illusion?

Does anyone know how many drop shafts it's going to have?

From what i understand the DCA and the Paris Tot are exact copies of each other. The one for paris was designed a long time ago. WDW took it, changed it then opened it there. DCA took the entire thing and stuck it in the park.

So if anyone has been on the DCA version it's going to be that one.

Unlike the Tokyo version which is a whole different monster. (And it's so pretty :shock: )

What are some of the differences between WDW's and DCA/Paris's TOT? I always took it for granted that they were the same and just looked different

DLP is a clone of DCA and for differences between DCA and WDW, try here: http://www.towerofterror.org/comparison.html
