Disneyland Tokyo Tower of Terror

Post by Dr. Ravenscroft » Mar Fri 10, 2006 12:13 am

I was browsing http://www.miceage.com and came across these pics of the Tower of Terror in Tokyo, the photos below are courtesy of and copyright by TDL Fan via the www.dlrp.fr site and of miceage.com

I think this is the best looking TOT I have seen. I'm more into the Gothic architechure rather than the Art Deco 1930's style that the rest have. They are also changing the story line as well, because aparently the Japenese people don't know Twilight Zone. So it will be based on a billionare that collects art and other collectibles by any means. Which means he digs up graves to get them. And one day as he was acending to his penthouse he vanished, and then the plot is pretty much the same after that you go through the hall and then you go for a ride.


P.S. if this has been posted already I am truly sorry but I was reading about it and got excited, and wanted to share.

yes this has been poted before. Um... about the Japanese not knowing about The TZ, I have family there and they do air it. it's just that they don't want to be like the others parks with something that is attatched to a series or something for DisneySea execpt for areas that is mean to.

Wow, they really pull out the stops over there! I didn't even realize I was looking at a Disney park at first.

That could be the Guiness World Record for the biggest Tower of Terror building

It's so amazing that they put all the effort into making the building look so real with all the details and stuff (carvings, brickwork, balconies, overhang, windows) and nobody really ever gets to use them, just admire them from the outside :lol:

If I were Bill Gates I would get them to build me a home like that. That would be awesome in the rocky mountains. It would kind of be like the Shinning.

Ah good ol' forced perspective... the windows high up on the building are obviously smaller than "normal"... and it makes the whole thing look incredibly huge (not that it isn't BIG).

My fiancee is not at all interested in going to see TDL/TDS... I'm hoping that in a few years (when we can afford it) pictures like this will help change her mind.

Very cool!! I've heard and read that Disneyland Tokyo is a very good park. I was told by a friend (who has been there) that he felt Walt would like it!

It's kinda funny. It all in Japanese except for the Loading, skip intro, and other instructions.
