Is Tower of Terror taller than Supreme Scream?

Tower of Terror is 199 inches tall, Supreme Scream is 312 inches tall, making Supreme Scream higher.



No, the Supreme Scream at Knott's Berry Farm is significantly taller than the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at Disney's Hollywood Studios. The Supreme Scream is a "Turbo Drop" tower that stands at a staggering 312 feet (95 meters), making it one of the tallest free-standing structures in Orange County. In contrast, the Tower of Terror is approximately 199 feet (60 meters) tall. Disney purposefully kept the Tower of Terror under 200 feet to avoid the FAA requirement of placing a flashing red aviation beacon on top of the building, which would have ruined the 1930s-era "Hollywood Tower Hotel" theme. While Supreme Scream offers a higher total drop and a more traditional "free-fall" sensation, the Tower of Terror is often perceived as more intense by some because it uses a pulley system to pull the elevator car down faster than the speed of gravity, whereas Supreme Scream relies on a standard air-powered drop. In terms of sheer vertical height, however, Supreme Scream is nearly 113 feet taller.
