Here's a video I took of the special lightning effect being used on Tower of Terror as part of Disney's HalloweenTime at the Disneyland Resort!

It just looks like a bunch of strobe lights hitiing the building. Where's the lightning bolts?

Is it better in person?

Thanks for the video, I was curious about it!

It's awesome in person.


And, no, even in 2006 - Disney cannot have bolts of lightning decend from the clouds on cue.




(pfft, they can't even keep escalators running. Don't get me started on moving ramps)

(pfft, they can't even keep escalators running. Don't get me started on moving ramps)Why is that anyway??? I always wondered. They can make cars run through Indy, but can't keep a ramp running?????

We saw them testing the strobe from our hotel a few weeks ago but had no idea what they were doing. I'll have to tell my husband what it was.

Thanks

(pfft, they can't even keep escalators running. Don't get me started on moving ramps)I've actually traversed the entire non-working Mickey level escalator. I was in a rush, the line for the (one working) elevator was LONG and because of the rush, didn't have time to take a lower escalator and walk the two stories.

And I think it is a rare occassion any more when both of the Mickey and Friends elevators are working simultaneously.

Interesting, because my memory is that early on in the history of Mickey & Friends they never seemed to be working and on my last visit (a few weeks ago) I commented on how long it had been since I'd last seen one not.
