A Look at Tokyo Disneyland's Proposed Tomorowland Version of Tower of Terror

Is it the original Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at Disney's Hollywood Studios that's the best version of the drop ride? Maybe it's California Adventure's reworked Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout? Could it be the one at Disneysea? Well, how about the version at Tokyo Disneyland? No, not the one at Tokyo Disneysea, but the one at the first Disney park in Japan.

The TDS version concept art is one of my favorite pieces ever!

At the top is the concept art for the sure to be incredible Tomorrowland version. While we know the stories of the other attractions, what would the tale be for this drop tower experience? My bet is on some version of Alien Encounter. Imagine discovering a creepy hidden lair of a creature that would terrorize whoever discovered him. Whatever it would have been, of course, it would be incredible- it's in Tokyo! They do it all very, very well. 

What they did choose is to put the Tower of Terror in the American Waterfront section of Tokyo Disneysea. With a very different theme from the other parks, the story and special effects are top-notch. It's story is like Mystic Manor but with an evil, terrifying twist riders never forget.

In contrast, the California Adventure concept is one of my least favorite pieces.

When it comes to the Tokyo Disney Resort, the Disney Imagineers are given full freedom to dream. The Oriental Land Company chooses the best of the best to guarantee their parks remain the premier destination it is- and it certainly is!
