Where is the Tower of Terror?

on

Published in Daily Trivia

The Tower of Terror climbs ominously into the skies of the Walt Disney World Resort, the tallest structure on property. Nearly 13 stories tall, the ride drops its occupants for a free-fall that lasts 1.75 seconds - during which the riders go from 0-35 mph in 1.0 second. In fact, the ride vehicle is not just released for its fall...to heighten the sensation, the vehicle is actually *pulled down* for a brief period. The motors that drive this lift are 3 times larger than those used in the World Trade Center in New York City.
