Vintage Walt Disney World - Tower of Terror Construction

Check out these new vintage construction photos of the Tower of Terror back in May 1994. 

While four Disney Parks (Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Disney California Adventure park, Walt Disney Studios Park, and Tokyo DisneySea) have their own versions of The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, the attraction at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is the original. This striking landmark at Walt Disney World Resort was constructed with 1,500 tons of steel, 145,800 cubic feet of concrete, and 27,000 roof tiles, and it stands 199 feet tall.

Universal Studios Orlando - JAWS! Vintage

I said that I wouldn’t post any more JAWS! footage or photos after my flood of stuff last week….but this video is just too good! The video above shows off the original 1990 version of the ride, which included the complicated effect where Jaws would bite down on the boat and spin it around. Afterwards they have some nice footage of the Jaws attraction with the water removed as it was being reinvented to reopen in 1993, followed by a nice HD version of the ride experience we all know and love… now sadly gone forever.

Walt Disney World - Footage from 1973

I stumbled across this video earlier, some footage from Walt Disney World back in 1973. I love videos like this, Disney has always been amazing! I particularly like the fact that Goofy’s eye lids wobbly, which is a bit weird!

Enjoy!
