The Tower of Terror @ Tokyo DisneySea
This popular thrill attraction is classified as a free-fall ride, but the Tower of Terror in the American Waterfront area of DisneySea is much more than that. The ride itself is very short, with 22 people at a time seated and belted into an elevator which drops through darkness. However, the build up is just as important, and includes a complex back story about a hotel owner who finds a mysterious statue and then disappears without a trace. Before you get to the elevator, you tour the elegant New York hotel, which is full of luxurious details from 1912, when the back story occurs. Look for the gargoyles and stained glass, chandeliers and statues from the owner’s exotic vacations.
