Im posting this here to separate this out from the general discussion in the other thread.
It appears that WDI is showing a computer animated film illustrating the ride experience for DCA versions of Tower of Terror. Naturally rumors are flying left and right, but this is what Ive been able to gleam. For the most part, imagine the WDW ride...
While the status of the hotel lobby and the library rooms are still yet to be confirmed, the show starts in the boiler room the same as it does in WDW. You enter the ride vehicle (which is identical to the WDW version) and the doors the close. The vehicle moves back several feet and a second set of doors close (this moves you onto the vertical lift/drop mechanism).
Your elevator raises a number of floors and stops. The doors open. You look at a large mirror a mirror that reflects you and your elevator. Theres a flash of lighting. Looking again in the mirror, you see that all the people are gone. It reflects just an empty ride vehicle. The doors close.
The elevator moves down a couple of floors. The doors open again, and we see the ghosts beckoning to you join them (identical to the WDW effect). The hallway disappears into the star field, but in a change from Florida the Twilight Zone breaking window has been replaced by a pair of elevator doors. The doors open, and we watch that elevator fall from sight.
Moments later, your elevator begins the drop sequence Down, up to the top, full drop, some bounding, and then another full drop. At the bottom, your ride vehicle moves forward up to a set of doors and you exit.
The entire ride time is rumored to now be 2 minutes 15 seconds.
