The story of Tower of Terror
Tokyo DisneySea introduced Tower of Terror in 2006 as a major attraction in the American Waterfront, where its tall hotel façade joins the park’s harbour-side cityscape. olc.co.jp· tokyodisneyresort.co.jp
The ride was built as a vertical dark ride rather than an outdoor coaster. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries supplied the system, arranged in three shafts, with elevator cabins travelling within the tower before the accelerated descent. ja.wikipedia.org· darkridedatabase.com
Contemporary trade coverage recorded a two-minute journey, a 59-metre tower, a maximum speed of 50 kilometres an hour, and cabins for up to 22 riders. Later accounts have noted its distinctive Tokyo setting as a version made especially for DisneySea. leisuremanagement.co.uk· blooloop.com
