I feel like this is gonna end up like Frozen at Epcot. It didn't belong and was a push by the executives, but at the end people found it ok and not as bad as they thought it would have been.

I suppose there's always a chance in a few years when Disney has blown their Marvel wad, Iger is long gone, and the new land has been open for a couple of years, they'll change the theme back to Tower of Terror. Maybe sans Twilight Zone, I could see them doing something of a hybrid between the original and the Tokyo version.

Mice Chat has a new photo display of it today, just about completely unveiled. It sure is garish. I guess you need to be a fan of that look. I imagine some people will like it, but it's not my cup of tea. It's sure going to dominate the skyline, good or bad.

I think the actual ride will probably be an upgrade, as the DCA Tower was pretty lame.

But that façade is unmitigated garbage.

All power plant fortress things have them. They're so in right now.

One of the executives said it was a little too flashy so the Imagineers added that to appease them. :lol:

The black stripe symbolizes the death of the Tower of Terror and the death of good taste. Like wearing a back armband.

It just makes me think of The Man in The High Castle. It's like an alternate history where the bad guys have won.

Mice Chat posted a large new photo display on the Tower. Just an observation, but that back corner of DCA where Hyperion Theater and the Tower resides has to be one of the ugliest, poorly themed areas of any Theme Park. Gawd, that section of the park is a visual disaster. So much for immersive theme. Heck, Six Flags would be ashamed of that area. :lol:

it reminds me of my old dorm in Tallashassee. They just tore it down this past year because it was so ugly and out dated.

Thanks for the tip John.

legitimately looks like one of the imagineers grabbed their old satellite dish from out back and spray painted it blue.

wonder if those are lights that will blind you when the doors open, maybe a flash?, maybe air cannons/water?

I was actually at DCA about a week or two ago ( passholder) while I am not happy with losing Tower. Pictures don't really do this justice. While I am in firm agreement that this is a hastily thrown together overlay that Tower of Terror ended up pulling the short stick on. I did stand across from it for about 20 minutes just soaking in all the details ( and there are a lot that just don't translate through photographs.) While I will mourn Tower like everyone else and will for some time I am quite excited for Guardians of the Twilight Zone: Mission Terror.

It also kind of looks like the Disneyland Small World building on space crack.

The concept art made that building look a lot more cohesive.

That's sad to say.
