This elevator travels directly to... the gift shop.
True😂
So true 😂
It is funny because it is true.
Melissa V oh I thought it went to I hop (inside joke) ( I was doing the late check out and a bell hop said I hop when he passed)
the elevator travels directly to....

That Rod Serling impression is really spot on
yadayada 95 you’re telling me that’s not him? Lol
Actually in the video is really Rod Serling. This was taken from an original episode of The Twilight Zone. The only thing they did was change the image that was in the back and redub the audio with a voice impersonator. :D
Really? I did not know that. Well they made great use of that unused episode. Neat.
It was actually used! Taken from the episode "It's a Good Life".
yadayada 95 the guy that did it had to get the family permission to be approved to do this act
1:09 "We invite you, if you dare, to step aboard, because in tonight's episode, *YOU* are the star."
Always sends a chill down my spine.
Same it’s so hard
It was so great to notice that whenever lightning flashed in the video, lightning flashed outside the window of the pre-show room. Such a wonderful touch!
I noticed that too in one of the full experience POV videos. That I thought was so cool and the people in the library started to scream...lol.
Disney is so immersive like that. They're master storytellers.
It lost it all for me when my parent forced me on it when I was four,
It's even better that it synchronizes at 1:03 :)
@@sportsygirl8 it didn't look to me like they were screaming
Who else noticed the little girl singing "It's raining... it's pouring"?
Me
I didn't.
That's an integral part of the ride that is repeated twice during the experience. Good ear.
there was a wall, on the second floor in the boiler room, that you could faintly hear the little girl singing "it's raining, it's pouring" if you put your ear to it
So cute :)
This is such a perfect homage to the og Twilight Zone. It's a shame Disney went for the totally-gonna-age-well Guardians ride.
well the mcu was talked about so much in recent time that you just know that there's gonna be a lot of kids in the future that see the guardians films as pass downs from their parent's
dapper loser at least Walt Disney World’s tower of terror isn’t going anywhere for a while
Dude chill. It still exist at Florida. Also that Guardians ride is amazing and will age well.
@@Sebastian-cc2mc Hopefully not at all, as Guardians is already getting its own coaster at Epcot.
Paris version is literally the same and you have the Florida one too you donkey
>Luxury hotel
>Gets destroyed by lighting
Lighting transports guests to a ling or another dimension
This will always be my favorite pre-show.
2009: You've just crossed over into The Twilight Zone
2019: IIII'MMMM HOOKED ON A FEELING!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ha! What a pathetic joke. How about this: sCRAP metal.
Sorry, what?
Shadowkey392 the ride in Disneyland’s California adventure used to be the tower of terror. It’s now guardians of the galaxy mission breakout and hooked on a feeling I’d part of the soundtrack to guardians :) the theme changed
Okay so.... The guy doing Rod Serling is actually an actor who actually could do the impression of him. Went well. Looked like an actual episode. :D Too bad the real black and white episode of this didn't happen (yet) It would look great.
They made a movie on this in 1999 actually! TV oriented, but it actually had nothing to do with the Twilight Zone. Don't mistake the ride to be based off of that. The movie is based off the ride!
You mean 1997?
That was the movie in 1997. I meant an actual Twilight Zone episode with this story.
Would be awesome but... The California Twilight Zone will be leaving us. :( I am sad. I dislike Marvel.
I hate Disney so much for doing this. Also, the movie sucks. But I would rather buy a thousand copies of this movie than let this ride get removed :(
Damn it, Disney. Stop making these mistakes.
For its ending... I just came back from Cali and riding that ride at night past 6 PM PST , THey are doing 100% total Darkness. No Lights, no Effects. Just darkness.You hear the audio and the doors opening up and takes your photos. thats about it. ITS WORTH IT. Its the final goodbye called Final check-out of the Tower of Terror. and, they already are starting to change the outside of the attraction. The Hollywood tower hotel neon sign was removed already. :(
As someone who grew up watching old Twilight Zone episodes, this introduction still sends shivers down my spine. Awesome intro to the ride. Loved everything about the ride.
Yeah, and that wasn't Serling's voice. These days they could effortlessly make that voice say and do anything for no extra payment, union rules, lunch, health insurance, retirement or ham sandwich.
It wasn’t a fake voice. Disney hired a voice actor named Mark Silverman, and got permission from Rod Sterling’s widow to impersonate him. I’m no Disney apologist, but at least raise ethical concerns with things that actually happened.
@@modernmajorgeneral4669No it's the widow of rod that chosen the voice actor
1:09 - 1:15 That was a footage of a background of Rod Serling from Season 3 - Episode 8 - "It's a Good Life".
LegoMatt222 Yep. Classic episode. But my favorite is Nightmare at 20000 feet
Only time i watched this while not about to crap myself
I remember the first time riding this with my dad. When 0:56 hit I asked my dad if that was going to happen to us. He and a few other people next to me just laughed. I was only like 9 or 10 at the time so I didn't know any better lol.
At least you weren’t as dumb as me. When ever I rode Test Track as a kid, one waiting room in the queue had these dummies in a cage and I apparently thought if we don’t get out of here anytime soon, the dummies would start moving. Seriously, I have no idea why I thought that, but I was a kid.
I was 6, I did the same thing. All for cotton candy
Dad: HAHAHAHAH ….yes
I wish this could have been an actual episode of the twilight zone. It looked like it would have been a great one
there is actually a movie about the hotel
You can't say you're a Disney World fan if you don't have this memorized.
you cant say you're a disney world fan without going on every ride in disney world ;))
so thats why i did that
@@squidly3270No ;) );8);) 8aa
We invite you if you dare to step aboard because in tonight's episode, you are the star, and this elevator travels directly to... The Twilight Zone.
*The marvel zone
Wouter Planet NO!
+Wouter Planet FUCK NO
It may be gone, but it's always going to be Tower of Terror for me.
+loki352 Same here R.I.P
if anyone's curious, 1:09-1:15 is actually ripped directly from season 3 episode 8 "It's a Good Life." in the original monologue, Serling is in a generic room, and he's pointing to a map of the United States. naturally, all of the other lines in this pre-show are done by a voice actor doing a Rod Serling impersonation, but i find it fascinating that they ended up reusing an actual clip from the show and changing it slightly. though, showing Rod Serling in the pre-show does add to the idea that we're actually in an og Twilight Zone episode.
the thirty second intro is also the intro for season four, which, despite being the most iconic intro for the whole series, was arguably the intro for the most obscure season, as it initially aired at a different time slot and all the episodes were twice in length, making it less popular than the other seasons.
Oh, I dunno. Some good ones came out of the hour-long season, like "The Incredible World Of Horace Ford", "Miniature", "Jess-Belle", and "On Thursday We Leave For Home."
Thank you. I was wondering what episode that clip of Serling came from. When I was a kid I thought it was really him doing the voiceover 😂
"You unlock this door with the key of imagination, beyond it is another dimension. A dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You've just crossed over into . . . The Twilight Zone."
"Hollywood, 1939. Amidst the glitz and the glitter of a bustling young movie talent at the height of its golden age, the Hollywood Tower Hotel was a star in its own right. A beacon for the show business elite. Now, something is about to happen that will change all that."
"The time is now, on an evening very much like the one we have just witnessed. Tonight's story on The Twilight Zone is somewhat unique and calls for a different kind of introduction. This, as you may recognize, is a maintenance service elevator, still in operation, waiting for you. We invite you, if you dare, to step aboard because in tonight's episode you are the star. And this elevator travels directly to . . . The Twilight Zone."
Thanks for putting the script! Much appreciated!!✨
That lightning must have been super powerful as it destroyed two guest wings and caused an elevator to fall straight down!
The Twilight Zone was a revolutionary show. Dozens of movies in the thriller, mystery, sci-fi and horror genre have been inspired by it.
What season is the intro from? You know, the one with the window breaking, the doll, the eye, etc.
Season 4 and 5 I think
It's called the tower of terror
1961
4 and 5
@@giuseppinalombardo3600 That's what the ride is called. The ride is based on the show The Twilight Zone
It really is like Rod Serling was asked by Walt Disney to record the intro to an attraction that wouldn't open for another thirty years.
Oh this is just fabulous!!!!! I'm totally obsessed with this ride!!! Gorgeous building, scenery, architecture, etc! This video is sooo cool too! Very clear as well! I'm surprised the bellhops let you have such an archive ❤️😉
OOOHHH, that's why you can see the elevators from the outside!
Carly Petersohn
The elevator shaft gets destroyed, so you can see the elevator doors
@@x-fun3149 The front part of the hotel disappeared
Oh, it's so cheesy. But I love it! I love every second of it!
How's this cheesy? It's very well made! Better than some stupid story of a space outlaw ganging up with a walking tree, a green woman, and a bionic racoon.
What if I told you
Both stories are very well made and can coexist without people like you being all pissy about it?
@@tandnmom100 They wouldn't believe it
BlackHatGuy64 (.)
Notice how the little girl is singing it's raining it's pouring
That's a little creepy
Anyone else notice how when they’re being electrocuted the bellman is just looking around at the others being shocked? Also the little girl had a Mickey doll.
yes i know that
lil girl sally was holding mickey doll
and the bellhop was looking around
(i noticed it)
didn't they say that all bellhops in that hotel are haunted
someone also said that the bellman was the one who did the curse for them to get struck by lightning (but i don't believe it ok)
@@CJ_7521Never really heard that story before, but in the TV movie (which is an alternative take on the Tower of Terror with all references to The Twilight Zone removed), Sally's sister was the one who cursed the hotel.
0:35 also you can hear the girl singing: "It's raining, it's pouring.
I love how they included the original theme to "The Twilight Zone" with the score by Bernard Herrmann (who also composed for this show and classic Alfred Hitchcock films)
We need a new movie based on this ride very bad
Scarlett Johansson is giving us one
Fantastic upload! I didn't ever think anyone would ever be able to get this, but somehow you managed! Now I just patiently await someone to get the Star Tours 2 Preshow. >.
Now Bob Iger is caught in his own Twilight Zone of immense size and proportion. I plan to watch all the company leaders squirm as their very existence is threatened by a combination of misfortune that could only happen now.
Ah yes, I remember recording this at Walt Disney Imagineering when I was a young fella of 29. It's been soooooo long since then.....
I can give you and even cleaner version and just come to your houses and do it LIVE!
+Mark Silverman You're THE Mark Silverman? It is such an honor!!
+Mark Silverman I'd love to hear that one. Besides some humorous outtakes that is.
+Mark Silverman Mr. Silverman, I must say that I am a big fan of work your on the Tower of Terror. It’s one of my family’s favorite attractions ever. They came to the Disneyland Resort for a recent visit and I am currently editing a video of it for them. I was wondering if it would be possible for you to do a custom Rod Serling narration that was tailored to them. I think they would get a big kick out of it.
Your good not an exact replica but you did well
carl lipsey but honestly man its the closet I've heard to the real searling
Ugh, I rode this at 9 ish at night when I was eight because we were waiting for our fast pass for a different ride or something. Scarred me for life, now I have a fear of elevators and the Twilight Zone
Same. I can never look down a long, hotel room hallway without thinking the power will go out and sudden flickering of the lights and ghosts will appear. Gives me chills every time.
Lukas me to
But I never get scared I always laugh and I have fun
Same.
Same, I was horrified because I was 7 and legit believed in all that because it was actually storming when we rode it, I begged my parents to ask the cast members for the non ride exit like they did for me on rock n rollercoaster, but no, I had to ride it
I am PISSED at Disney for changing this into a "Guardians of The Galaxy" ride that functions identically to this one. Just today I happened to be at Downtown Disney looking to see if it was true if the ride was changing. Sure enough, it is, and it looks horrendous. Great job Disney for locking our only entrance to the Twilight Zone.
Actually There Are Two Other Versions Of This Ride In Paris And Florida (So Technically, There Are Two Other Entrances To...... The Twilight Zone

Harvie Richards
And the non-twilight zone one in Tokyo DisneySea
It’s because the twilight zone owners are like “give us more money boi and we will let you use our ride” and Disneyland is like “nah fam I’m bout to call up marvel instead”
Don't look at the DCA skyline, doing so may result in temporary blindness.
This video gives me chills but I love it and I can quote it 💕
Never thought I’d see this video in full view. This is creepy.... yet nostalgic.
My little brother has been working there for years and growing up we all loved it so much. Man this video never gets old
I would kill for the exit music to Tower of Terror. All I've been able to find is queue music and the Tokyo Disney exit music.
This video really brings me back I was 10 years old when this ride first opened at California adventure and I remember saving this ride for the last ride I would get on with my family
The way how the thunder you can see outside coincides with the show is really the cherry on top of the cake for me. The immersion was total when I first rode this ride.
This was very well done.
Back then, this show couldn't be replicated... It's amazing and still is to this day.
I've seen you before Watching melting Faces
Defective Turret You can't prove that. I don't even know what you're talking about.
uh yeah saying things about the Ark
Shiny Black Egg Wtf?
+Shiny Black Egg Ark of the Covenant?
Wow. Do you realize how much it actually looks like a Twilight Zone episode !?? It's amazing !! And that Rod Serling impression... Just... Wow. 😲🤩💝
This is nice to watch during COVID, since there’s no pre show.
There is a pre show in the rides
@@giuseppinalombardo4842 not when I went. This is 7 months old. The Tower of Terror was just having people go straight through the library, and not letting us watch it.
Thanks for having this up. There is currently no preshow (COVID) so I had my kids watch this on the way in!
I miss the pre show I hope if everything gets back to normal they will bring the pre show back
@@dodgerdude2756 Yep, I rode it this past Tuesday (June 1st). I was a bit disappointed but I’m glad I saw this video beforehand and kept in mind as I waited in line to board the attraction.
Growing up at Disneyland made me a huge fanatic. Great channel!
WHY IS EVERYBODY ON THAT ELEVATOR SO CALM? I WOULD"VE BEEN TRYING TO UNLOCK THOSE DOORS IN SHEER PANIC!
"Oh, we're going to the Twilight Zone with no way out. Noooooo."
They wouldn't have escaped because the lightning would've disintegrated them in a matter of seconds and the elevator would've been plummeting by then.
Still freaky what happened to the elevator guests in this video... or should I say... *SHOCKING!*
I need friends... :(
Definetly my favorite along with haunted mansion
OM LANTA!!! I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOR YEARS!!!
Hey guys, this the script for the pre-show in the library. Enjoy!

(Twilight Zone Theme)
Rod Serling: You unlock this door with the key of imagination.

Beyond it, is another dimension.
(window shatters)
A dimension of sight.
(eye opening its lid passes)
A dimension of sound.
(ticking watch passes)
A dimension of mind.
(e=mc2 passes)
Your moving into a land of both shadow and substance (body and its shadow passes), of things and ideas, you've just crossed over into: The Twilight Zone.
Rod Serling: Hollywood, 1939.
(pan across HTH lobby)
The Hollywood Tower Hotel was a star in its own right, a beacon for the show business elite.
(bellhop, a famous couple, a child star, and her nanny enter elevator)
But something is about to change all that.
(doors close)
(hand of "floor counter" climbs)
(hotel is struck by lightning)
(inside elevator guests and the bellhop are electrocuted)
(elevator drops as part of the hotel disappears)
(view of elevator door with "out of service" sign)
(quick pan back to Rod in front of maintenance service elevator in boiler room)
Rod Serling: Tonight's episode of The Twilight Zone is somewhat unique, and calls for a different kind of introduction.
This as you may recognize, is a maintenance service elevator, still in operation, waiting for you.
We invite you, if you dare, to step aboard, because in tonight's episode you are the star and this elevator travels directly to: The Twilight Zone.

I’ve heard this pre-show so many times that I pretty much know it by memory!
Some people may make fun of me for this, but I was terrified of this ride. I never went on it previously, so I didn’t know what to expect. The room that this played in made me even more scared! If anyone went on this ride on February 19th, just before the fireworks, yeah, sorry for my screams in this room. :)
My family (we're from CA) went to Disney World in 1996 when this was brand new (wasn't in CA yet). I was 14 and terrified just walking through the place and watching the video. My mom thought nothing of it -- until the drops started. Halfway through the ride I look over and her head is buried into my dad clutching him screaming her head off. We all get off the ride. I'm still scared. My dad is pumping the air "GREAT RIDE GREAT RIDE!" My mom: "I will NEVER go on that ride ever again." Even when it made it out to California Adventure, my mom stayed true to her word; 1996 was the first and only time she ever rode it lol
Moi a la 1 salle j' ai commencé à avoir peur mais que un peu pourtant j' ai que 9ans
Kinda clever as the editing cuts to the elevator at 1:15 as the voice actor of Rod Serling here goes off of the original script from “Its a Good Life” to the Tower of Terror one. The mouth movements follows up the original words until the point where he talks about the elevator
this is so iconic
So it was raining, it was pouring... and there was also lightning and thunder last night, but however I couldn’t sleep so I imagined ToT scenes in my head and the soundtrack while it was raining, it was pouring..
My heart races just watching it, feeling like I’m going to just fall out of the sky or something. A Classic, really stimulates the memory.
I really hope this ride never goes away
I loved this ride so much!!!!
When I was like 8 I went on this ride for the first time it scared me so much that I stop going on elevators for 2 years
A fun "drop dead" ride! One of my favorites!
This makes me tense just listening to it!
this is a good ride! i loved when it opened up and we dropped down
That moment when the tv turns off and the door opens
This elevator travels directly to... Grandmas House
(somebody actually did say that last time I was on the ride)
I used to be terrified of this ride as a kid but I finally got the chance to ride it again recently at Disney World.
It really is a great ride...even if I still screamed like a little girl.
This was a cool pre-ride experience.
This. It brings back the best of memories.
Nice video! I was able to show this to a friend who wouldn't be able to watch the full experience video because of it being long, so I sent her a video of the ride and then of this and her response was "WOW!" She is not a rider at all, so she may have had a mini heart attack.
I always get goosebumps when I watch this
This is great!
Can’t wait to go again!
Bless 🙏 thank you so much!!!
And now it's going to become a Guardians of the Galaxy ride...that still looks and rides like this one...way to go, Disney...way to go.
Just the California one.
imdb88 Yeah, I know, but it's still horrible.
+aeroranger100 the worst thing about this new marvel land is because of a deal made with universal there not aloud to make a ride thats themed on like almost all of the marvel charectors, iron man spiderman thor captain america and some others
Yeah, I know. Disney's quality isn't what it used to be...not talking about rides/attractions, but movies & shows as well.
oh please, its not horrible. sure, its not the super original thing disney used to be, but its that bad. we still have the one in disney world.
I miss this ride!
Every time it says “waiting for you” I always expect it to say “waiting for you to attend”
I remember going to Disneyland when I was around 4 or 5 sometime in 2012. I don’t remember much on the ride besides the drop. But this is the only other thing I vividly remember and it made me so scared
The little girl is referred to the girl who got stuck in the wall in another episode and also she is holding a 1939 Mickey Mouse Plush that you can see for a glimpse of a second in the pre-show.
Thanks man
I just realized that they’re using the introduction from “It’s a Good Life”
Going on this ride was the absolute scariest thing my 6 year old self had ever experienced
God, I love this ride
going to hollywood studios in april, very excited for my trip through the scary door
This used to scare me as a kid. Man I'm going to miss this ride
Mark Silverman did such a great job playing Rod Serling. :)
God I love this fucking ride
Any chance you have, or know of somewhere with the ambient noise that plays when you first enter the elevator and sit down? I love the creepiness of the strange noises, distant screams and air rushing
+TopCornerHD PLEASE PLEASE I've been looking for this too!!!!!!
it's actual screams from other riders and actual air flowing through the shaft from the elevator dropping. it's not a recording. sounds awesome, though.
1:10 you can see where he was cut out and put infront of a different backround. Pay close attention to his left hand. He died before they made the Tower of Terror ride, so they took him from another episode and put him infront of a different background. It's hard to get the cropping exact. Originally, he actually said "This as you may recognize is a map of the United States" but they replaced the audio with a voice impersonator saying "Maintenance service elevator". You can also see him saying "map", but they switched to a scene of the elevator.
Am I the only one who notices that the building in the pre show looks nothing like the actual building? Seriously there are so many differences.
Yes! The main building looks wider than it actually is. Also the Neon sign has been placed way too high. The wings of the tower that were supposedly destroyed don't go all the way to right below the sign, making it inaccurate for there to be elevator banks below the sign. In real life I wonder why there are elevator banks behind the sign? Logically doesn't make sense.
@@TrashBulldogProductionsThat change was made because Disney at the time of its construction realized a mishap which was that if they made it too high the construction would have to put red lights so that the planes could not collide with the building at night and that would make the attraction look bad.
@@Mr_RRavenswood Yeah I read about that. This is why the main tower peaks at 199 feet in order to avoid the requirement established by the Federal Aviation Administration.
@@TrashBulldogProductions Damn, 4 years later, crazy stuff. Time flies
I miss this ride so much
Vraiment moi aussi
i love the music in the very beginning, it give me thrills!!! I just got back home from Disneyland Paris, it was amazing, oh my god..
Oh how I love this 👻
I love this ride!
Good stuff❤️ makes me wanna go to Disney again and again...❤️
The Hollywood Tower Hotel should never look like that 1:01
The first time i went on this in the line somebody said “Oh,it’s really fun don’t be scared”. No way am i going on that ever again...
Imagineers knocked another one out of the park. They did such a great job of recreating Rod Serling's voice!
Thank you Stefanie, I worked very hard on this.
@@gargantuaism classic rod sterling impression and a classic ride
1:16
Maintenance Service elevator? I thought that was the map of the United States.
Chao Flaka it's different because this is NOT the episode it's a good life it's A TOWER OF TERROR preshow
I know, I was just joking on the reference.
