Disney is well known for its attention to detail and storyline. No matter what you might encounter – be it an attraction, show, character etc. you will find a fascinating story behind it and the detail, both historically and functionality are true to life. For me, there is no attraction on property more beautifully and accurately detailed than the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror hotel, here at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. In addition, the storyline of this eerie Hotel is based on what most experts concur is one of the greatest Sci-Fi anthology TV series in history, Rod Sterling’s “Twilight Zone.”
Inside the Hotel, you will find numerous props and memorabilia that reference many episodes of the show. In addition there are frequent visual clues to the storyline and the Hotel itself scattered about. The architectural elements of the Hotel are amazing and are impeccable for the time period, October 31st, 1939, which is the date this story begins. This attractions queue line is the most detailed in my opinion of any ride. From the moment you enter the Main Lobby, to the library and my favorite part, the boiler room, the Imagineers left no stone unturned. In fact, there is so much detail and storyline to talk about; this was one of the most intensive researched articles I have ever done! Let’s get started…
