The Tower at Tokyo DisneySea
AmusementBusiness reports that an official opening date has been set for the Tower of Terror in Tokyo DisneySea. According to the news the third incarnation of the ride will open to the public on September 4, 2006 - and therefore AFTER the high season summer months.
On an interesting side note the news mentions that a show called “Tower of Terror Memorabilia” is supposed to open on the 1st floor of the building. The latter sounds strange Both in the version in the Disney MGM Studios in Walt Disney World and in Disney’s California Adventure in Anaheim guests are exiting the show building through the shop, the shop has been placed on the rights ground level.
To prepare for the experience take a look at the post of Joost on the DLP.info Forum in which he provides the complete story of the ride as it will be experienced in Tokyo - a few mild spoilers included. Sounds like a really different version with some great new effects, especially in the pre-show room, which hopefully will find their way to the version under construction in the Walt Disney Studios Paris as well.
