The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror

"You are the passengers of a most uncommon elevator, about to take the strangest journey of your lives. Your destination...unknown, but this much is clear, a reservation has been made in your name for an extended stay."

Guests enter the hotel library where they watch a short movie clip hosted by Rod Stirling, explaining the events surrounding the hotel and inviting you to step into the Twilight Zone.

As the story goes, on October 31, 1939, the hotel was struck by lightning, mysteriously transporting an elevator car full of passengers to the Twilight Zone.

You are about to take that same trip!

As you embark on the journey, lightning strikes and you enter the Twilight Zone. After seeing a reflection of yourselves, the door closes, and when it opens again you see the hotel's permanent residents, trapped there after the original lightning strike. You suddenly drop then shoot up to the 13th floor, followed by a long drop, then 2/3 back up again, a drop down, then right back up to the top where the doors open for a view across the park, followed by a final drop.
