See that large hotel sitting right beside Rock n’ Roller Coaster? Walk in and you’ll find yourself in the *twilight zone* – or more accurately, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. This attraction, based on the popular TV series from the 60s hosted by Rod Sterling, is one of the most popular rides in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
You enter the front lobby as a guest, hoping to take the elevator to your room – but unfortunately, the elevator is broken so you are re-routed to the freight elevator and there the adventure begins! As you take your seat in the freight elevator make sure you are strapped in and be prepared to hang on. This elevator ride seems normal enough, right? …………. Or is it?
Your elevator will take you to the very top of the “hotel”, where you find that the doors open to reveal the sky – and you are suddenly dropping to the bottom, hearing the sounds of cables and metal breaking along the way! The computers on this attraction are actually controlling the number of drops and how far you drop each time, so every ride is different. Along your rides up – and down – you will catch a glimpse of Rod Sterling as well as all of the unfortunate hotel guests who disappeared that fateful night when lightning struck the freight elevator, thus putting the occupants into The Twilight Zone forever.

Debbie and her husband live in Chattanooga, TN. They both are huge Disney fans and try to visit the most Magical Place on Earth at least once a year, if possible. They are enjoying taking each of their now 10 grandchildren and hope to also take their great granddaughter in the near future. One of their favorite trips has been visiting Disney with adults only, including one trip when their son proposed to his girlfriend. Each trip begins with the planning, which can take up to a year, beginning with how to get the grandkids excited about their upcoming trip. They have surprised some of them the day before they left, while the latest one had “presents” every 10 days starting at 90 days all leading up to an exciting trip with her parents along also. Their philosophy on Disney Trips? “Each trip is completely different, like visiting Walt Disney World for the first time.” They both enjoy all that Disney has to offer, but enjoy Animal Kingdom and EPCOT the most. It is their goal that everyone who visits Walt Disney World has a magical trip with lots of memories to last a life time.
