I prefer WDW's. Now I had often heard that DL's wasn't nearly as good as WDW's, so when I finally had a chance to ride it at Disneyland this summer, I was expecting something lame and boring, but it wasn't at all, and I still thought it was a great thrill. So even though I prefer WDW's, Disneyland's is awesome too.

As anyone been on TDL's Tower of Terror (it's the one that has had the Twilight Zone theme taken out of it)?

^I've not, but these people here have:

Quoting them:
" I wish the ride was as good as Florida's but it's really not. It's basically California Adventure's version with a MUCH better story and theming, and a slightly weaker drop sequence."

They say it's the best looking one though. Judging by their photos, I'm inclined to agree.

Thanks, natatomic. TDL's version is very different. I do like the exterior. The museum queue in TDL's Tower of Terror reminds me of the "Mystic Manor" planned for Hong Kong Disneyland (what they will have instead of a Haunted Mansion).

I've only had the chance to do the one at WDW and while I like the look, Im just not a fan of the ride itself.

You aren't missing anything.... that ride literally makes me cry. :shock:
I don't understand your comments Soarin08 as you have in your signature "Tower of Terror fan" :?:
I must say, I'm a fan of the ride's concept and storyline, just not actually experiencing it myself. See what I'm saying?

WDW is my favorite - as it's the original :wink:

I understand. I have an aunt who's big into the Song of South and loves Splash Mountain - she just won't ride it. :roll:
