Here, you'll step inside the abandoned Hollywood Tower Hotel and take a ride through an elevator shaft where, on Halloween 1939, some of the hotel guests mysteriously disappeared. Complete with a creepy atmosphere and 13-story drops, this attraction has remained a must-do for guests for nearly 30 years.

The "drop" sequence in The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at both Disney World (Florida) and Disneyland Paris involves a total height of roughly 130 feet (40 meters), which is equivalent to falling approximately 13 stories. However, the ride does not just "fall" once. In 2026, both versions use a randomized, computer-controlled sequence of drops and rises. You might experience multiple small drops of 1 or 2 floors followed by a sudden "plunge" of the full 13 stories. A key difference: the Florida version includes a "5th Dimension" scene where the elevator car physically moves forward through a dark room before entering the drop shaft, whereas the Paris version is a more traditional vertical-only experience that "pushes" you slightly back before the drop. Regardless of the version, you are actually being pulled down faster than gravity by a high-speed cable system, creating that intense "stomach-flip" feeling.
