The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror

Image
The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror is located in Walt Disney Studios in Paris. This attraction is a free fall from 40m that takes place in an elevator of a classic Hollywood Hotel. The story behind this attraction is that lightning struck a hotel in Hollywood in 1939. The people who were in the elevator at that time have been transported to the Twilight Zone. They were on their way to their room on the 13th floor of the hotel. As a visitor to the attraction, you will experience this conscious evening again, as if you were there. Fun Fact: The service lifts of the Hollywood Tower Hotel do not really fall, but are actually pulled to the ground. This original system lowers the lifts faster than gravity and gives guests the feeling that they are flying. Search location on Beautiful Places Map
