TOT(DCA) vs TOT (MGM)?

[JerrodDragon]

Do you know what makes the ride slower is the show they have in the libary, it's ok the first time but it just get's boring, and it makes you get on the ride slower also like MasterGracey.
[QUOTE=MasterGracey]Well said! Very well said!

As for rides... I have to go with DCA's Tower. And because of this:
The Tower of Terror is supposed to put you in the middle of a "lost episode" of the Twilight Zone. That said, I don't think it makes sense that MGM's Tower has so many random references to the Twilight Zone's opening title sequence. There's no need to see images (eye, window, etc) from the opening sequences multiple times in the ride (the hallway, the 5th Demension Room, etc) - We already saw those images on the television in the library!

This another reason to take away the show.

WDW's is superior. Where DCA's just feels like a ride, WDW's feels like a journey/experience.

From how it's described, WDW's version's elevator sequence seems a little more believable. I like how you immediately go up when you board and don't pass through a faux elevator door.

Bingo! From the beginning, it establishes that it's "an elevator" up the hotel... so when you actually move through it, your feelings of security are gone and you feel completely vulnerable and at the hotel's mercy. It's completely convincing and excellently executed (pardon my alliterations; they weren't intentional).

[The fifth dimension room is] quite startling and unique the first time

Right. I feel that DCA's has nothing that matches this initial feeling which frankly makes it forgettable.

I just wanted to know which one U liked better, and It's a tie.

A lot of those who voted haven't been on both, so I'd say the poll is flawed. But whatever. Since we can see who voted for what, we can come to our own conclusions.

Santa Monica is right,I also think the poll is flawed...basically I think what it boils down to is what matters to the individual person,each version of the ride has its pros and cons,if you dont care for the 5th dimension room then DCAs TOT would be better,if you prefer the forward movement then WDWs TOT is probably better to you etc etc...it all depends on what you prefer

Have they officially announced RockIt (or whatever the nomaclature ends up being) Mountain? I know it is briefly mentioned in a Grad 'Nite commerical, but other than that I'm pretty sure nothing has been said concerning it.

I realize this is for Grad Nite, too, but I doubt they'd go to this trouble if it were only for Grad Nite. Btw...they've used these vans for past promotions, like the "A Whole New World" campaign.

Those? Are so disgusting.

But, you're right, they aren't trying to be too quiet about Rock It Mountain. Judging by those "vehicles", I daresay they're being quite loud.

The 5th dimension room completely destroys that illusion you so talk about. While at first it was established that you are on an elevator, the movement forward completely destroys that as the elevator moves like a tank on track that you can both see and feel the whole time. Illusion lost. No longer an elevator, just a ride.

I've been on both but didn't vote as I view both towers as about equal, each with its own strengths and weaknesses.

[ohboyohboy]

i think this thread is done, its a tie! both tot's win

[Pinocchio85]

Both are great, but I prefer DCA's. MGM has the better garden, but DCA's has the better show and technology. I also feel that DCA's tells the story better and the mirror effect puts the guests into the story.

Both are amazing attractions are are two of the best ever done by Disney.

I agree, I'm sorry I started this thread it was ment to answer a simple question which one's better and it's easy to see they are equal, They both have little problem's with them, but they are both great rides.
