Opening in April 2008, Twilight Zone Tower of Terror is the latest attraction to join the impressive line up of big thrill rides at the Disneyland Paris Parks. The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror has proven to be a big hit all around the world and was originally established at Walt Disney World® Resort Florida swiftly followed by, Disneyland Resorts in California, Japan and France. Twilight Zone Tower of Terror has been very successful worldwide and is a welcome addition for European travellers hoping to take the elevator ride of a lifetime! Surprisingly Twilight Zone Tower of Terror is not a rollercoaster with breath taking loops and turns full of G-Force's. The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror is a journey which taps into your own fears and bends reality disorientating your senses. If this sounds great....read on! The Tower of Terror ExperienceImagine stepping out of your limousine and on to the red carpet as you re-live the lavish arrivals of Hollywood stars in the late 30s. This ride puts you on the driveway of the huge Pueblo Deco Hotel where you can experience all the glitz and glamour of the era. Ghostly music echoes all around and distant screams signal an air of unease as you step in to the unknown, through the ornate entrance archway. As you join the check-in queue relics and items from the past can be seen strewn around untouched and indicate signs of a hurried mass evacuation. Half finished drinks and playing cards that have been abandoned mid game signal that this place has been through some major difficulties. Lightning begins to flash and the rumble of the thunder rattles your very soul and eerily dims the lights. This cannot be the same Hollywood Tower that was once a shining star in its own right.....can it? Welcome to the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. Big ThrillsThe ride takes nervous passengers on a journey in an elevator shaft exploring the various floors within, and the stories they have to tell. This once glamorous, Hollywood Hotel is a shadow of its former self. Decadence and splendour have given in to cobwebs and dust. The ride rockets passengers up to dizzying heights before releasing them to fall perilously back to the ground with a few extra surprises thrown in along the way, the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror is an amazing ride that is sure to please even the hardest thrill seeker.
