Thrilling Ride at Disney World

The sign states ‘WARNING! Tower of Terror is a free-fall type attraction with sudden high-speed ascents and drops through darkness,’ but I did not heed the advice and went ahead with the ride. The consequence was a once in a lifetime experience—a scare of my life—even though to some people it may be fun. That was years ago when I visited the theme park at Walt Disney World’s Hollywood Studios in Orlando, Florida.

Tower of Terror @ Disney World

The Tower of Terror is an attraction at the theme park, a thrill ride featuring a visit to a 199 feet tall fictional Hollywood Tower Hotel adapted from the television series ‘The Twilight Zone.’ Upon entering the elevator and going up to the 13th story, a free-fall drop sequence takes place in the dark—with all the guests in it! This drop sequence has changed over the years from one to two drops to a pre-programmed multiple drop sequence, and today randomized drops.

Mickey Mouse with Spider-Man?

What has Mickey Mouse to do with Spider-Man?

Mickey Meets SpideyWell, Spider-Man is going to be Mickey's favorite superhero and Disneyland is going to see Spider-Man swinging around its castles! This seemingly unusual twist of events can soon become a reality, with the recent deal of the Walt Disney Company acquiring Marvel Entertainment for US$4 billion.

According to The New York Times' story Disney Swoops Into Action, Buying Marvel for $4 Billion on August 31, 2009, certain Marvel characters can be immediately integrated into Disney’s theme parks in California, Paris and Hong Kong. For now, however, Walt Disney World in Florida is off limits because of a pact Marvel has in place with Universal Studios there.

The IrishTimes on September 2, 2009 in its top story news headlines 'Mickey welcomes Spiderman to the castle' said of the Disney and Marvel’s marriage that since the Pirates of the Caribbean cycle wound to a halt and the Narnia films made their way to another studio, Walt Disney Pictures has been looking a bit short of live-action franchises. With the announcement of this new deal, the Mouse House had dug some change from the back of the sofa and bought itself the cornucopia of characters that goes by the name of Marvel Entertainment. Henceforth, Spider-Man, Hulk and The X-Men will sleep in the same dormitory as Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Buzz Lightyear and that woman Sandra Bullock played in The Proposal.

Good or bad, it looks like the landscape of animation is going to change.
