Tower of Terror
Thursday, February 7th, 2008
My Florida trip was a time to reconnect with old-buddies Reno and Rey. But it was also a time to visit Disney Land! And while the others fancy the “Honey I Shrunk The Audience” thriller, we trooped towards the Hollywood Tower Of Terror for a scary ride to “The Twilight Zone!”
Dust and cobwebs abound in the lobby. There was a huge chandelier, and life-size-Dracula-like portraits hang on the wall. We were herded to a dark room with seats and armrests. The door was shut and the show began with a very old movie clip of an old fellow, who teased us with “Welcome to the Twilight Zone!” Then darkness. The room rattled as it started to move forward. Lighting struck and thunder roared as holograms of ghosts and goblins flashed before our path. Demonic laughing echoed as the lights flickered. Then we turned, and dropped suddenly! It felt like my stomach was sliced in half! The shouting started here, and giggling, and laughing, and scared delight. Then we were pushed up the tower so fast it felt like my legs was left at the bottom, then gravity suddenly took over as if we would crash to the ground! We were pushed up, and dropped, then turned, and up again, and dropped! We were shouting like crazy and we came out laughing like there’s no tomorrow….
I think we were the noisiest little big men in that group because the others asked us, “Was it your first time?” And to their amusement we replied with a big, “YEeeeS!”
nice pics
