Yes! They don't want the gum getting spit onto the sidewalks and getting tracked through the park! (Yuck!)
My fact is that throughout the Tower of Terror there are references to the Twilight Zone Television serious. First is the poster in the lobby for the Anthony Fremont band who is playing at the tip top club tonight. In both libraries very high upon the very too shelf there is a devil headed fortune teller from the episode "The Nick of Time". In the right library the broken glasses from the episode "Time Enough at Last". In the left library the alien (decoded) To Serve Man book is on the shelf from the episode "To Serve Man". The last one I know of is the ventriloquist dummy among the boxes and hotel items in the basement (the unloading area right after the ending film) from "The Dummy."
Also, the attraction itself is 199 feet tall to prevent it from needing a blinking red light on top for planes.
When the building was still under construction it was actually struck by lightening!
That is so cool, never saw the references to the twilight zone episodes. I have been on that ride a lot too!
The first time, I walked my kids up to the loading doors, and then I took the chicken exit. My kids were embarrassed. The elevator guy couldn't even look at me he was so disappointed. I wasn't really as scared about the ride (maybe a little ), but I was worried it was going to be jarring and hurt my lower back. After the ride, My kids then made me experience it over and over again. It doesn't hurt. And it makes me laugh. It is a great ride. Awesome with large groups.
One of my favorite stories happened on this ride when I did everything I could to keep an older from bailing on the ride at the last minute. That will have to wait for another day.
