wow, Disneys mediocre clone of the Florida masterpiece, Im not even basing my review on the fact that its pretty much a scaled down WDW version, even though Ill be tempted to, my main problem is that the queue is arguably more themed then the ride itself, the ride has two show scenes that quiet frankly arent that interesting, the mirror effect is cool but it replaced the 5th dimension room, the coolest aspect of the Florida ride. The the ghost scene was lame, it stood out like "HEY RIDERS, LOOK AT ME, IM A REFLECTION" although the transistion from the hotel to the stary night is a great effect, then the drops, I expected better from Disney, still, how could I not give this a ten, its got story, ride, thrill, theme, its a great ride, only Floridas is about 10 times better, I just feel the budget was cut considerably for this.

tip: all throughout the drop sequence, hold your hands up for some SERIOUS air-time!!!

Wow, this is way better than the Florida one. This thing is Freekin intense.

The was one of the best rides Ive ever been on. I went on the ride 3 times in a row and each time the wait was less than 15 minutes long. I was surprised because it was a SATURDAY AFTERNOON in the SUMMER. The special effects were awesome and I especially liked the part when you see yourself in the mirror. Disney really did a good job paying attention to the little details. I loved the drops. I also thought it was cool when the doors opened at the top so you could see the whole Disney park. I never got tired of this fun ride and if I could have stayed longer, I wouldve gone on it 10 more times in a row. This ride was GREAT!!

Better than its Florida conterpart because of "the mirror moment". Some one says its not a new technology, so what? At least thats some amazing effect that Ive never seen before. Great combination visually and physically.

One of the greatest rides in the park. The effects are great and the themeing even better. You get a good amount of airtime and the ride is just long enough. The best part is when you drop for the last time and the air rushes from below. Over all a must see ride for the whole family.

This ride is excellent. I prefer it to the Florida version because, for me, after the first ride on ToT in Florida, the surprise of the moving elevator is gone, and you realize how poor the set work is in that area. I like both, but I think DCAs version is better.

It was good in Florida, but horrible here. I thought that the ride was going to be longer, and better here, since they would redesign it alittle bit. Nope, I was wrong. It was a bad ride and it did not meet my expectations.

What gyk182 said

though i must emphasize that the Florida one is sooo much better

The following is a play-by-play and comparrision to the Florida one. Let me just say this may be a little one sided. Ok, this might get a little bit long, but bear with me...

I really think comparing this ToT with the Florida one is like comparing Apples and Oranges, but theyre both fruits, so Im going to anyway.

Lets start with the Florida one. Just to get to it, you need to walk down the dramatically named "Sunset Boulevard," listening to the horrified screams as you approach.

At the CA one, you need to pass "A Bugs Land!" Ohhh, Ahhh... Plus, its shoved in a sad little corner. It deserves more.

In Florida, the building is a kind of brown with a big black center showing where lightning struck. The charred colors spread out towards the corners of the building like a real lightning strike.

In CA, the building is bright pink with a big black paint blotch over it. It doesnt fade away at the corners, it just looks dumb, plus it has too odd apendiges sticking out of the top sides. It looks like teh freeking "T" building from Teen Titans.

In Florida, you walk through the twisting, turning garden past dead flowers and empty fountains, curving around the paths in no specific pattern.

In CA, you go through turnstiles, walking back and forth and back and forth in a zig sag pattern, like waiting for a roler coaster at other parks.

In Florida, the boiler room is old and decrepid. The boilers are rusty and looking down you can see ropes, hooks and other materials.

As was so eliquently put by Scott Hot, the boiler room in CA has Christmas lights... He may not have even known had he was being 100% serious. Really, they are Christmas lights. Take a look.

Now we get to the ride. I was SOO disappointed. In Florida, your first stop is a hallway... a real one, you can tell its not a drawing. At the very end is a window with a storm happenign outside. Then somehow, in the MIDDLE of this real hallway that is not a movie screen, the five people who disappeared from the original elevator appear. They become electrocuted (not in a gruesome way) and then fade away. The hallway becomes dark and stars appear on all the walls. Seriously, you feel like youre in space. (Im 14, this isnt some 5 year olds description who will believe anything.) The only thing that isnt in the dark is the window, which floats TOWARDS your elevator before turning into the window from the Twilight Zone opening you saw in the library. The window comes right up to your car. All the sounds stop and the window shatters. How did it float towards you while changing shape? All I know is that that hallway is a real hallway! Forced prospective makes it seem longer, considering at the very end its only 4 feet high, but still.

In the CA one, the elevator backs away from the door where you entered and goes up a few floors. When the doors open, you see a mirror right outside your doors. Why a prestigious hotel would put a mirror at the exit of a matinenece service elevator is beyond me, but they did. In it, you see the people in your car. Rod Sterling says, "Say goodbye to the real world." The lights on the floor flicker off and the mirror becomes elektrifided with youre pic in it. (I dont know where you people are gettign the idea that you see the people who disappeared in an elevator and then theres drops, because you dont.) Apparently, lights flickering off is the CA symbol for you going to different dimention... I dont know.

Next, in the FLA one, the doorway opens into a hallway with doors to rooms on each side. With a click, the elevator actually LEAVES the lift chamber and moves FORWARD through the hall. Its moving horizontally! The walls become insvisible and you see spirits and things from the Twilight Zone, like a melting clock, E=MC2 lying past you and a giant, 4 foot eyeballt that opens up and you see a pic of the peple in your car. Then you enter the other end of the floor, opposite the end where you were lifted up,<

Florida one is better, but the drops are fun, and provide some decent airtime. Wait is never longer than 20 minutes
