Tower Of Terror Opens At Disneyland Paris

Disney And More posted a terrific, in-depth article yesterday about the opening of the Tower Of Terror at the Walt Disney Studios at Disneyland Paris.

The ride is a clone of the California Adventure version (rather than the superior, original one in Orlando), but the theming looks lavish and over-the-top, which is a welcome change from the bare-concrete-and-billboard aesthetic that's been used at WDS since its launch (frankly, WDS makes California Adventure look like Tokyo DisneySea).

Elaine and I saw the Tower of Terror under construction in 2006 and on the honeymoon; I'm kind of bummed I missed the opening by a mere 10 weeks.

(Oh, and be sure to check out this photo, taken from the top of the drop tower -- that's Space Mountain 2 in the distance!)
