Our First Experience with The Tower of Terror
|
|
|
|
This photo was taken by debbie just as the Train(that small,white thing halfway up the tower)was on its way up to the top of the tower. The Tower is exactly 38 Stories High and the Train reaches a speed of 160 km/h. The Tower pulls 6 g's on the way up and you experience Free Fall on the way down, the whole ride lasts for about 30 seconds, BUT WHAT A VIEW FROM THE TOP. This is the ride that Debbie was only game to go on once, i think i did the rounds on it about 7 times that day.

The Approach to the Tower
|
|
By the time that the Train hits the kerb to go straight up, you are doing 160 km/h. The run up track is about 50 meters long, so you are accelerated at incredible speeds in the first couple of seconds. From the take off from the station inside the building, you are pushed right back into your seat and can not move forward at all, the first time that you can move is when the train gets to the top of the tower, and even then, you can only move for a couple of seconds before the free fall back down to earth. It is one of the best rides in the park, and one that debbie only went on ONCE.

The Tower of Terror Entrance (sort of)
|
This photo was suppose to be the Entrance, but the photo was stuffed cause debbie didn't know what to take the picture of. But anyway, you walk through that skull you can sort of see and you go through a wrecked city riddled with earthquakes etc. And then you come through to the escape elevators, which take you to the Escape Pod, (which is the train). And then you are rocketed off.
