Does anyone know if the ToT CMs can control how many times a particular elevator drops? Thanks in advance!

Well done! 👏👏👏 - AshleyLynn22  747.6 #136 11:37PM
I had to laugh while typing this 😂 man I was hoping that nobody else beat me to it before I finished 😄 - gigibunny2  242.7 #1076 11:43PM
The Tower of Terror at Hollywood Studios in Orlando is random. The tower in DCA is not random. - TheNewTrent  514.5 #228 3:01PM
But are the different elevator cars sequenced different from each other? - MXPrincess399  482.1 #245 3:10PM
No. They all follow the same pattern. - TheNewTrent  514.5 #228 3:48PM
Wait, it changes?! - MonteKristal  308.7 #567 2:57PM
I went on this once with a lying liar who told me it only dropped once. Never again! - LaneSparrow316  846.9 #108 3:13PM
Awe I'm sure I could make you go on it again. Hugs - HanLostLeia  1092.6 #76 3:14PM
Poor thing!!! I'm sure you were traumatized! - Willierose  1180.5 #68 3:14PM
Aww poor thing :( - flowers0818  121.1 #2709 3:24PM
Aww. I love how you said "lying liar" just like a little kid. :) I would have been so upset if someone tricked me. One drop is bad enough but several? - Vegan7LuvsStitch  799.6 #116 3:34PM
I'm sure you couldn't, Fredo. LOL. But thanks for the hug. I've never forgiven her for that! The funny thing was, I was smiling big time in the picture at the end. - LaneSparrow316  846.9 #108 3:38PM
Awww I totally understand! My first time on, there was no line and I was under the impression it was a virtual attraction. Had nightmares about falling elevators for months after that! Lol! - Disneycrazymom  99.5 #3037 11:41PM
The drop sequence never changes, no matter which elevator you enter. My cats have confirmed this. - kingofthecatsinsidedisneyland  5.1 #10292 3:25PM
There's cats in dca too? - ladylikesdisney  921.5 #95 3:29PM
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 lol - flowers0818  121.1 #2709 3:33PM
And ducks... - PrinceTeaJack  786.3 #118 3:34PM
lmao - tuesday737  1076.5 #78 3:36PM
Did someone say cats? - BooEve123  800.3 #115 3:39PM
I think you need to give him your profile pic, cass lol - ladylikesdisney  921.5 #95 3:39PM
I think this is the greatest username I have every seen anywhere! - TheNewTrent  514.5 #228 3:46PM
Mystic cat. - Alicewhoareyou  536.0 #209 11:12PM
😂LOL! - Boundin  424.7 #298 11:27PM
It's done randomly by computer - ScooterMike  1959.8 #35 2:53PM
Thanks. I was hoping there was a way to try it but with fewer drops. My husband got on this past Sunday and there were 8! I can't handle that. - Vegan7LuvsStitch  799.6 #116 2:56PM
8 O.o....... this is insane! Someone must have gone on a potty break! - BooEve123  800.3 #115 2:58PM
I've ridden Tower of Terror do many times and I'm 99% sure I've never dropped 8 times!! I wish I could though. I think most is around 5. - JenInWonderland  1025.1 #86 3:07PM
Yes he might have counted both. He knows that I hate drops so he might have counted the drops and rises. He confirmed that if I had been on I would have hated it and probably been screaming for my life. - Vegan7LuvsStitch  799.6 #116 3:16PM
It is never the same ride twice. - SorcererBHhaha  408.5 #318 3:00PM
Really?! Mind. Blown. - MonteKristal  308.7 #567 3:10PM
I know the drop sequence must already be programmed, maybe its the series of ups and downs that change.  But 8, sounds insanely great!  My sis can't handle ToT either. - Willierose  1180.5 #68 3:14PM
I think it dropped four times when we were on . but it never felt like a big deal. I am afraid of heights and I was not bothered by this ride. It was fun. A must try I would say. - Lilbitodisneycrazy  217.9 #1383 3:18PM
They are random- I have been held at the top before the fort drop, and dropped immediately. It's been different for me. - tattooedmum  109.2 #2913 3:52PM
It's not random and it drops six times. First it drops a story, then another story, then to the top window to the bottom window then to the bottom, then it launches up but doesn't make it to the windows, then it goes to the top and drops. - BrerRabbit  228.7 #1260 11:08PM
If you are lucky it drops you into a giant cushion made entirely out of cotton candy!!! Mmmm cotton candy :-) - Sam241  475.6 #254 11:13PM
I remember going on an elevator that dropped 6 times ... all others have dropped between 3 & 5 times :) - PrincessMacy  501.6 #235 11:16PM
I think it's random because I have had the sequence change on me going on it twice in a row. I specifically remember because we got my mom and niece to go on it and it was different and I was scared we were actually falling! Haha! - ryanrexreno  3.7 #15537 11:37PM
As others have said, our ToT at DCA has a programmed drop sequence that is the same every time. The only thing that would change it is if there is a ride stop or E-stop. In Florida however, their ToT drop sequence is completely random and the attraction actually operates much differently than ours. Ours is much more efficient and reliable and has a larger capacity. - CMJenKWorth  122.9 #2681 11:52PM
An E-stop is an "emergency stop", yeah? :) - PrincessMacy  501.6 #235 11:54PM
Macy-indeed. Jen-actually tower in Florida has a larger capacity due to having more drop shafts. - lostgirl7988  541.3 #208 11:56PM
@LG - thankiies! :)) - PrincessMacy  501.6 #235 11:57PM
You got it angel face :) - lostgirl7988  541.3 #208 11:57PM
Lostgirl.. They only have 2 drop shafts. We have 3. - CMJenKWorth  122.9 #2681 11:59PM
They actually have 6. Alpha bravo Charlie delta echo and foxtrot. - lostgirl7988  541.3 #208 12:01AM
Wait... Who does? Us or FL? I know we have 3 shafts but they can each load from 2 places. Looking at pictures of the FL tower and Wikipedia, it looks like they only have 2 shafts. - CMJenKWorth  122.9 #2681 12:05AM
Florida has 6. My trainer from Hollywood studios is now an attractions manager in Sunset which is the area with tower and Rockin roller coaster. I double checked with him - lostgirl7988  541.3 #208 12:30AM
Hmmm.. Well, that's news to me then.. Very interesting. - CMJenKWorth  122.9 #2681 12:33AM
It's always the same. The reason I know this is because I usually tell Allie what's going to happen next so she doesn't freak out. - Sandcar13  1329.7 #60 12:00AM
