Lightening strike at Disney's Hollywood Studios Tower of Terror!

[AdRuNkRuSsIaNsTuDiOs]

@masterjhs Stfu have you see them metal rods on the roof they transfer the elictricity to the ground insted of going through the building and making omlettes out of the people inside

[masterjhs]

it's fake because if it reallywas real,people in it would die

[The2010countdown]

News report: Hollywood Tower Hotel, a famous ride at the Disney Parks, but when lightning strikes the ride history repeated itself!

[masterjhs]

O MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!

[jessika0018]

Was this really fake ???

[Maestrojosh87]

1939 all over again...

[Maestrojosh87]

1939 all ove again...

[ariixxbabehh]

the irony of this is so intense right now.

[slickvik212]

At 0:08 It Was A Lightning Shock Of THE LORD! :D!

[imbo8w]

Must admit I saw the title of this video and thought to myself "yeah righ, this is gonna be fake" boy oh boy was I wrong! But yeah, thinking of the background story of the ride, this is just so ironic!

[imrejiar]

PAUSE AT 0:08 NOW!!!!!

[MJRStorm]

wow

[Spud17593]

why did you move the camera i wanted to see what happened

[AmericanaColombiana5]

Wait never mind now that I look back slowly it looks like a firework....? So confused

[AmericanaColombiana5]

I'm not sure if that was completely real but it looked friggin awesome

[LilAshleyBug]

I don't get what people are trying to say...was this faked??? I'm confused it looks real o.O

[krimsoncrimson]

what makes it creepy is the old ass music in the backround, then loud ass crack *girls, and people screaming* to show its not a regular ride...

[MattsWorld95]

It looks like a lightning rod at the top wonder if that's what got hit.

[shawny4137]

probably the next twilight zone

[superpup2255]

i wonder if the people on the ride survived xD

[coastermaniac16]

Wait now that I look back at it. If you pause at 0:08 you can se what really happened

[coastermaniac16]

So close lightning! Ugh when will you actually hit it. Pretty cool but it would have been smoking then it would be on fire.

[The2010countdown]

@coastermaniac16 Look closely, after the lightning strike before the person moved the camera away, you'll see the site of the lightning strike that turned to hot red, I'm sure the building is fireproof (well, mostly).

[tenimyugirl]

omg it actualy hit it

[macrent2]

Disney goes to great lengths to provide realism!

[Pyrowman]

And 5 people that were riding the attraction at that particulary moment went missing.. xD

[joseblanco360]

FOR THE WIN!!!

[frybergh]

MAN, the special effects bill must have been through the roof!!!

[1blueshe]

pause at 0.08

[1blueshe]

pause at 0.09

[unrooolie]

i guess the people who were on the ride disappeared

[jmannunez]

the irony... when the story actually happened to the people riding a ride about a story about what happened to the people on an elevator.

[rockerforlifeA7X]

that has got to be the coolest irony ever hahah i prob would have crapped my pants if i saw but that is soo awesome

[RoJet116]

The story was true for the ride, I wonder what happened inside...

[TheHunterbear]

I wonder if the ride was open?

[HelloHomely]

LOL DEATH

[linkfan95]

Wasnt Lightning part of story line for this ride?

[disneygrab1]

@linkfan95 You've watched the pre-show to the ride before, right?

[The2010countdown]

@linkfan95 Yes

[50poophead]

Yes

[appleAddict240872]

was anyone in there at the time? that would be AWESOME!

[50poophead]

Actualy it was

[50poophead]

Yep everyone left with no injuries instead of like 5 drops there was like 30 really lol it was fun I've been on it before but that moment it was like we did cross over to the twilight zone that guy told us a warning not to drop in the hotel next time the first time I got on it and I just had to get on it again and then real lightning hit the tower

[Seth98487]

@50poophead We all know your faking, this would have been on the news and it wasn't.

[50poophead]

I was on that when that happened and the Elevator flew off track

[RorySeizeTheDay]

@50poophead OMG. Do you mean to say that the ride literelly dropped you and crashed?!

[Seth98487]

@RorySeizeTheDay Hes faking it... That can't happen.... 1. The cables holding the shaft would have to be cut for that to happen. 2. They inspect the ride every day..... 3. The lightning just hit a spike

[MattsWorld95]

@Seth98487 Seth. I know this is like 3 month late but it's a platform and yeah ik he's faking too

[ilovesims24ever11]

@50poophead do you mean when the elevator goes out of the shaft?

[leavittboyz]

wow you know how to film amazing stuff

[mastertheunknown]

What a light show. And i thought fantasmic was good

[FilipinoDisneyDude1]

I wonder if any one was on the "13th Floor" at the time????

[TheGarcia350]

@FilipinoDisneyDude1 pretty fucked up if they were and people told them lighting struck the tower :P

[MovieGoer19]

and que the elevators falling down. XD "Ladies and gentlemen, the Hollywood Tower of Terror" .

[animalfrenzy12]

I believe its now pronouced The Hollywod Tower Of Terror :)

just saying!!! lol

[MissHLA93]

LOL, I live in Tampa about 20-30 minutes away from Disney. I can always remember outside my home we can this huge flag pole with the flag on and because it was so high and it being hurricane season it was the first thing the lightning hit and my dad was just pulling the flag in and the lightning struck the pole and my dad had to go to hospital cause the electricity got his hand and it damaged his whole arm and shoulder. So now his left arm is all weak, good thing he's a righty.

[julianetteo]

This happened today during the day. Scary as hell! Everyone in the building thought they were ride effects lol.

[PuppyLoveCharlie]

The story is real!!

[schoonfam08]

Now thats what I called the tower of terror =) thank god no one got hurt.

[bvcesar]

is that real Lightening

[joxomocab]

See i told you... the story is TRUE... LoL... =D

[gsdcool4321]

it's sexy anyway



[gsdcool4321]

omg the pass has come to THE FURTURE!!!!! (srceam) AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NolinGhost]

HOLY CRAP! I would have been scared out of my mind if I had been on the ride at that moment

[fROmTh3fUTURe]

That is just too perfect.

[musicninja2884]

Lucky you got this vid on tape!

[musicninja2884]

I can hear music in the backround

[musicninja2884]

This is basically the story of The Tower of Terror

[Vic7997]

Eh, did you got a shock, or felt any unusual electrical curent running through you when the lightning hit?

[charkellogg13]

AHHH!!! I was there!

[bluethunder25]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!

[WdWfan1231]

pause at 9 seconds

[iSpeed09]

WOW Disney really is great at special effects! XD

if there were the stars still, I'd give 5 stars

[dropdeadautopsyx]

LOL. the funniest thing about this video is straight after the lightening struck it, the guy went 'foooooking ell' :L TROLOLOLOL.

[UnknownThomasFan30]

PERFECT TIMING AND PLACE! THE LIGHTNING IN THE STORY HITS THE TOWER.... THIS IS SO IRONIC!

[Jayjay4750]

@troyh2012 it hit like 5 ft from the highest point

[saba90]

Brilliant

[WhiteLioness100]

Oh, the imagineers and their effects ;)

[McCracken257]

wow pretty scary stuff right there

[hardrockafro7]

stop the video at 0:08, the sky is all lit up

[libertarianable]

wow they must of paid a fortune for those effects

[WdWfan1231]

pause it at 6 7 and 8 you can see the lightning bolt

[emixam101]

Impressive lol

[SCOTTaMINUTE]

Now THAT was awesome!

[coast4airtime1]

The video that people watch before the ride was probably recorded live.

[dlusardi]

It looks like the tower of terror movie.

Filmed in the 1980s or 1990s.

[The2010countdown]

@dlusardi 1997 to be exact

[BellhopStitch]

This is the greatest video of the tower of terror on the internet to date. Your quite lucky to get some film of it!

[troyh2012]

If it was real, then wouldn't it hit the highest point of the tower?

[BellhopStitch]

@troyh2012 Not necessarily. It most likely hit a metal rod that was rooted to the ground through the building. I know that Disneyland's tower has one so im sure DisneyWorlds has it too

[aquapearl11]

@BellhopStitch i agree cuz it looks like its at6 a point in the roof not all of it

[KittiesRTheBest]

Wow! Was anyone hurt? And why were the people just standing there filming the roof like they knew it would happen? I think this is fake...

[RobotsandSoap]

@KittiesRTheBest the storm was going for awhile so it had been happening alot...

[KittiesRTheBest]

@RobotsandSoap That makes sense :) thanks!

[PopSong1]

thats pretty cool!

[PickledQuam]

in the same place as the freakin movie!!!! omfg thats so awesome!!!!!

[ThisJordanKing]

This is hilarious!

[Dragonrider1227]

THAT WAS TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!

[hogbackmtn]

You are so, so, so, so lucky to have caught this on film.

[Pepsiolic913]

I was waiting with a crowd of people for the 2nd show of Fantasmic...boy did it clear out when that hit.....thanks for sharing the memory...

[PreludeVTEC01]

WOW!!!! I was there this night. I was at Magic Kingdom but it rained like CRAZY that night. This video is EPIC!

[MrThemeParkAudios]

I wonder what happened to the people who were on the ride at the time.

[Escapay]

@MrThemeParkAudios they were turned into ghosts who were trapped forever to haunt the attraction and never reach the top until the jealous sister admitted it was her fault and magic dust suddenly made the ghosts cross over to the top floor. :P

[TheStuartcarrol]

Video was taken on the 12th of September this year roughly about 8.15 i think, we had just seen Fantasmic and straight after rode Tower of terror and 5 mins later that happened :)

[RyleeBoo100]

@TheStuartcarrol WOW!! Y'all got off just in time!!

[justinj60]

WOW, Just amazing I can even hear some guest screaming from that!!

[mychemicalapparatus]

ohcrap. i would have peed my pants if i saw that!

[hillernj]

that is amazing

[hogbackmtn]

The Imagineers are so good at these effects! :/

[animationman97]

@hogbackmtn umm....that wasnt an effect.....that was real

[hogbackmtn]

@animationman97 Yep. I know. The comment was meant to be ironic.

[BanksLeeProductions]

YES!!! That is AMAZING!!! Talk about going with the story! Was this at 8:05 PM that night?

[symmastia]

Now THAT is theming!!!!!!

[darrenh85]

Awesome! What day was this taken?

[TheStuartcarrol]

Thanks for commenting carasauriousrex :)

Your right that it was a lot more scary seeing it in the flesh, the noise was unbelievable!!!

[Spaceshotx7]

@TheStuartcarrol you know, lightning is about the loudest thing you can think off. This shows how loud lightning is. Even from 500ft away, it is extreamly loud.

[carasauriousrex]

Ha, i was there for that working Fantasmic up at Palm. Saw that first hand, video is not nearly as scary as being up close to it.

[NitroGadvRules]

Wow, thats crazy.
