Tower of Terror Paris gets official opening

The latest version of the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror has officially opened at Walt Disney Studios Paris. The ride has previously been open for annual passholder previews. The ride, which employs the same ride system used at Disney's California Adventure and Tokyo Disney Sea (lacking the 4th dimension room), was opened in a celebration which saw video explaining the story of the ride projected onto the side of the building. "Tower of Terror affects every one of the senses, leaving you feeling as if you have really been in your own episode of the Twilight Zone," said Theron Skees, show producer for Walt Disney Imagineering. "We wanted the guest to feel completely out of control - not knowing what to expect next, and give the die-hard fans a lot more to talk about."
