Another way that Tokyo Disney completely blows our american parks out of the water. I have to admit, both stories have their good points, and are themed to their setting though. I think Disney should most definately continue with the disney S.E.A. theme, as it looks like they are with the Mystic Manor at HKDL. Don't make all the S.E.A. guys look like jerks so much though. Cheesy Video, great story though.
Japan doesn't have the Twilight Zone. Deal with it. PErsonally I enjoy the whole Society of Explorers and Adventurers storyline Imagineering's come up with for this and other things.
@WhiteLioness100 - It's only because the Japanese are more inclined to the spiritual aspects of supernatural phenomena, as opposed to a generic ghost story (which are very popular in the United States).
one in aniheim in ca is way better!!ROD SERLING IS FUCKING AWSOME!!to me this version of "tower of terror"IS STUPID!!ONE IN ANIHEIM CALIFORNIE BEATS THIS!!
the dub for the american actors, idk but this vid makes me crack up. the story is cool but the acting. lol. I think having english dialogue with japanese subtitles would have worked better, or maybe even just animating the whole thing including beatrice and strang.
This deserves to be made into a movie. Or they could have included a mystery like this in the Kingdom Hearts video game, with Sora, Donald and Goofy helping Strang and Endicott solve the mystery. That would be intereting.
@NatalieGFanClub I have a feeling it was translated incorrectly and was supposed to be "15 seconds," which would make more sense... unless he went up, finished his cigar, sat on the can, clipped his nose hair and then was on his way back down when the idol decided that enough was enough.
This story is much better than the Twilight Zone version. I wonder if they use actors for the characters in this video... Strang and Beatrice look too realistic to be made of animation. I really wish to get on the ride.
It's very very good! What do ya think happen to Hightower???
While people around me were getting freaked out by the video, I thought it was ridiculously corny/cheesy. But then the ride started....and, boy, was that scary!
The one in florida is great! The one in Paris is a little wilder, so personally i think that version of space mountain is cooler than the one in FL ;)
qhy not was it scary? its just fake. ive been at the one on disnyeland like 50 times no big deal its really fun though! but you gotta admitt it is a bit spooky :P
Having ridden both versions, I have to say that the US version is slightly higher quality, but the Japanese version is by no means poor. I loved it. The only fault of its story is that no one really cares about the Shiriku idol; it was more or less a cop out plot device really. Other than that, I was very, very entertained by the whole thing. You kinda have to experience the hotel for yourself for full impact. There's stuff you pick up there that they're not telling you here.
i think weatherbook is saying that becuz the guy in the story says hes "a reporter for the New York Globe". and the whole story is in NY i guess, but every1 is speaking japanese. lol he's probably just bein funny tho.
Ah yes, that makes sense! ^_^ I hope I didn't come off as offending... I really like this version as well, and I like the hightower building more (in looks) as well, but I like the Twilight Zone story more! ^_^;
It's actually a different ride (same falling thrill, though). The US one is more complex, in that they have to shift the elevator cars from the back to the front of the building ... they stay in the same place mostly for Japan's.
Well, that was strange. Doesn't really make a whole lot of sense with it supposedly being NYC...I don't get that, but I'm sure the ride is absolutely amazing!
It's located in a part of the park that is called "The American Waterfront" and takes place during early 1900's New York. While they were building the first skyscrapers.
Didn't read the description? This is for the Tokyo Disney Sea version of the Tower of Terror attraction. They did a few promo videos telling the backstory, this being the main one.
Where did this video come from? Is this the preshow, some advertisement perhaps? It is really well executed, though somewhat amusing how the extremely realistic American people perfectly lip-synch to Japanese, accents included.
That's amazing. I wish the Disney World and Disneyland rides had stories that cool and scary! The Twilight Zone story is just kinda cheesy and not scary at all. LOVE this story, thanks for the video! :)
about time they got an english version of that site.... I'd love to go on the Japanese version of this ride but unfortunately it's rare I get out of my house at all xD

Hotel Hightower is haunted by an idol called "Shiriku Utundu", formerly the guardian god of Mtundu tribal village in Congo.
Said to place a frightening curse on anyone who attacks the village.
