Classic stars of the silver screen sought rest and relaxation at the grand Hollywood Tower Hotel during the Golden Age of Hollywood. In 1939, during a gloomy Halloween night, 5 unlucky souls were riding down the Hotel's maintenance service elevator when a violent storm struck the building… and they were never seen again. Black scorch marks still scar The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror facade where lightning left its autograph.
The Elevator
A ride on the "fright elevator" beyond the eerie boiler room in the hotel basement could be down, then up, or maybe down again, or up and up—every experience is different and randomly selected by the Tower itself. There's no way of knowing which direction you'll go on the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror.
Step aboard, if you dare. You're about to discover what lies beyond the deepest, darkest corner of the imagination.
This really is an awesome ride. you go forward and backward, up and down, and the best part is the computer running the ride chooses how may times you drop. For future reference for all of you if you ever get the chance, ride it!
On to other things, like me. I have been working and playing a lot. I played basketball with my roommate Kevin a week or two ago, I also took a different Kevin and my roommate Ryan to Church Sunday night. It ended up being one of those nights that you just sing and have a short devo, so they didn't get to see what it is normally like, but they seemed ok with it. Later a bunch of my roommates and friends went to the hot tub, it felt great. We are getting along great still, and i'm getting to spend more time with them thanks to some scheduling that gives most of us the same days off.
I still have yet to see anyone famous here even though i hear about celebs on property all the time. I guess the cast of HSM3 (High School Musical 3) was here last week, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas were here last week. I was hoping i might see them because they were staying at the resort right across the bay from the Boardwalk. Hollywood Studios just opened an attraction called the American Idol Experience so most of the people from American idol, past and present were here for that. I'm sure i'll see at least one before i leave.
Last night and today I went to the parks with some people from work. It was a good time to hang with them outside of the shops and get to goof off and all in the parks. Last night at the Magic Kingdom we rode Space Mountain once, and Splash Mountain 6 times. We also got to see the Spectro Magic Parade that night, (great stuff, i'll post on that soon). After the light parade we ate at the Crystal Palace. It is themed after the Crystal Palace from Hyde Park in London, and is buffet style but the food is great! prime rib, garlic mashed potatoes, mac n' cheese, ice cream, chicken, pork,....should i go on? Also the characters from Winnie the Pooh come to your table and let you get pictures with them. It was great, wish i could have eaten more, maybe next time.
I'm also excited for my mom, brother, and sister to come visit in March! it should be a good time. maybe i'll take them to the Crystal Palace, haha. either way it'll be nice to see some familiar faces, other than a mouse. Again, sorry it took so long to write, but i'll be better about it.
Miss you all
