And the answer is…The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror is 199 feet tall. Disney Imagineers wanted to make it as tall as possible without having to put the FAA required red light beacon on the top. They felt that the beacon would detract from the 1930’s theme of the attraction. Good guesses everyone! 🙂
It is 199 feet tall, because of FAA regulations that require a fixed red light beacon to be added to the top of any 200-foot or taller building. Happy dropping!!
Misty, you are right! 🙂
I don’t remember the exact height but I know that the height is restricted by State/City zoning laws. I also believe that the longest drop is not as far as Elitch’s Tower of Doom, though the building might be taller. X and I had a bet about this. This is one ride that I want to make the whole family go on when we go to WDW in October
You guys will love this ride! It is my favorite at Hollywood Studios! 🙂
