a group of my friends and myself are going to disney in july, and the majority of us remember riding TOT when we were younger. I had heard that they had recently changed the amount of drops and seatbelts in the ride. is this true?
 
The one thing I do know is that every time you ride the amount of drops is going to be different from the last time.
 
They now let the computer randomly choose the way the ride ends. It might drop a long way down or maby up and down 3 or 4 times. It changes every time you ride it. I will say that I think even now that it drops and climbs several times it is a lot calmer than when the ride first opened and it made the long plunge down. I think the best part of the ride for me is everything leading up to the drops. It is such an awesome ride!!!
 
What if the computer decides you don't get any drops and the ride just ends? :lmao:
 

Yes, it's different now. I agree with the PP who mentioned their favorite part is the stuff leading up. It's so dark in there so you're not really sure when you're going to start dropping, so it's really exciting.
 
I don't think they changed the number of seatbelts... :confused3

But yeah, like other people have said, you get random drops. :thumbsup2
 
They changed how you're bealted in. And they used to have a pole in the middle that people could hang on to, of course it's gone now. Now you don't have anything to hang on to except the person next to you!

...Unless you get the end seats, then you can hang on to the wall.
 
If you are brave enough, keep your hands in the air for the whole ride. When I did it, it was a completely different ride experience :)

ITA. I rode it when I was younger and clung to things for dear life. I finally "manned up" as my mom would say and let go 3 trips ago. I've never held on again. There is nothing like free-falling 13 stories and catching 2 inches of air time on the way down.

Tower of Terror has made me decide that I want to jump out of an air plane. Not the same thing, I know, but i love the feeling of falling.

Wait so that's all they had? Was the pole and no seatbelts? Or am I seriously misunderstanding your post? haha.

Noo. I'm not sure how they used to belt you in, but I'm pretty sure they changed it some.

But you were belted in.
 
Okay, thanks. and I had heard they replaced the long bar with indivigual seat belts that extend across the waist. (much like the very middle seat.) thank you!
 
they used to have a lap bar. so if the person next to you was a little bigger than you got a little air time. and it used to be that the back back middle seat was the only on with a seat belt. now everyone has a seat belt. so i learned a trick to get more air. you just put it around you as tight. it's wicked fun.

when i went in october i went on tot three times and got the same ride every time. i didn't like it cause i knew what was coming every time.


sorry about the no caps. i'm useing my dads laptop and the keyboard is weird and i'm trying to get used to it
