Disneyland debuts Tower of Terror ride
Media and guests had the chance to check into Disneyland’s new “Twilight Zone Tower of Terror” thrill ride last night at a premiere party to toast the southern California amusement park giant’s latest attraction.
Red carpet treatment: Guests make the traditional Hollywood entrance.
Guests walked down a red carpet lined with “paparazzi” before indulging in tray-passed hors d’oeuvre including risotto balls, mini beef Wellingtons, Monte Cristo bites, and dim sum. Bars keep wine, beer, champagne and specialty glowing drinks flowing.
Nice bites: Mini beef Wellingtons and tiny Monte Cristos calm jittery guests.
The ceremony began with a balloon bearing the projection of legendary TV writer/producer Rod Serling, creator of the spooky ’60s series “The Twilight Zone,” welcoming guests in his distinctive baritone. His widow, Carol, welcomed guests, followed by Disneyland chairman Michael Eisner.
Flaming finale: Fireworks sprout from the 'Tower of Terror' rooftop.
A zombie bellhop invited guests to check into the nearly 200-foot-tall ride, which spouted fireworks from its “decrepit” roof.
Today, Disney management is expected to announce major plans to celebrate its 50th anniversary next year.
