Interesting fact

Staying at a Disney hotel?

Transport is free to Disney-Hollywood-Studios.

Twilight Zone Tower of Terror,

Plunge down the dark freight elevator shaft of the once glamorous Hollywood Tower Hotel in The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror...

A thrill ride for big kids, teens and adults!

Ah, but this is no ordinary hotel. Its phantom elevator is located beyond the fifth dimension, the one that crosses over into The Twilight Zone...Lynn and I felt weightless during this attraction!

The Legend

Classic stars of the silver screen sought rest and relaxation at the grand Hollywood Tower Hotel during the Golden Age of Hollywood.

In 1939, during a gloomy Halloween night, 5 unlucky souls were riding down the Hotel's maintenance service elevator when a violent storm struck the building… and they were never seen again....as the story goes!

Black scorch marks still scar The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror facade where lightning left its autograph.

The Elevator

A ride on the "fright elevator" beyond the eerie boiler room in the hotel basement could be down, then up, or maybe down again, or up and up—every experience is different and randomly selected by the Tower itself.

There's no way of knowing which direction you'll go on the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror.

Step aboard, if you dare!... You're about to discover what lies beyond the deepest, darkest corner of the imagination.

Towering Thrills During Summer Nightastic!

Exciting new special effects during Summer Nightastic!, June 6 through August 14, makes this a chilling summer joyride unlike any other. Take the plunge!..you will love this attraction!

Lynn and I like Disney-Hollywood-Studios..its different than the other Disney..parks..but well worth a visit.
