Hey guys...
Over the past couple of years I have always wanted to create a pretty legit TOT attraction for my parks, and over the years I've created three different versions of the attraction. Below are 3 photos and a story behind each one. Basically they are just the outer shell of the ride, although in my parks they are functioning attractions. As a bonus I through in my replica of The Haunted Mansion at Disneyland (still just an outer shell).

****PLEASE NOTE****
At this time, I will not be releasing these buildings. If the demand is high enough eventually I will release them.:cool:

TOT 1.0

This version is pretty basic. Before I discovered custom scenery. This one in particular made its debut in one of my parks called Bianco Hills back in 2005. Located towards the back of the park, this first installment was pretty much a failure and is still to this day deserted. Two more of this version were installed the first of the two being more least successful then the first installment and the later being more successful. The next installment took a major overhaul to the original plans (since getting the Platinum edition of the game)

TOT 2.0

The 2.0 version made its debut in 2007 to another park called Disney's Paradise Island. Although no custom scenery was used in this design, this version had a more sleeker design and resembles more to real TOT versus 1.0. At the time of its debut it has become one of the most popular attractions in that park. Since being so successful, to date this version has been installed at 6 of my parks making the on of my most cloned rides behind my Batman: The Ride installments. Being pretty satisfied with TOT 2.0 I thought I would never replicate this ride again until last week when I discovered the ModsToTheMax HTH sign. At that moment the plans of a 3.0 started delevoping

TOT 3.0

2009...a new year... a new Tower of Terror!!!
Thanks to ModsToTheMax, KLN's framework and Disfan's TOT sets I was able to create TOT 3.0. This installment debut this year in my twisted version of California Adventure. This one is already proving to be the most successful installment to date. I'm pretty satisfied with this one because out of all 3, this one bares the most resemblance to the actual ride.


The Haunted Mansion

Over the last six months I've been working on a Disneyland Park for Australia and when it came to installing a Haunted Mansion, I've decided to go with the original version. I do have plans to release the park once completed. However since this project needs a lot of detailing (cause it's Disney) and at the rate I'm going, it probably won't be completed till the end of the year. Oh yeah...and TOT 3.0 will be present in this park.:D

Until next time
Thanks for reading...:cool:

In the first version he was using S&S towers. I'm assuming in the other versions they were only just the buildings as the title suggests, with no rides inside.

Oh ok! I just asked because I've seen this ride replicated with roller coasters. :)

There all S&S Power Towers. What I meant by just the building structure, is that there is no theming on the inside of them, but they all have rides in them. I kinda worded it wrong, my bad...
