Question tower hotel....so boring...

Corona Tower Hotel · 07-21-2008, 02:14 AM

okay, so i was wondering..why did disney decide to use the same design on the HTH with california and paris?? couldnt they think of something different? cuz i like the design but i dont love it so its kind of like overkill.. wat do u think??

Welcome to MiceChat! Now, I can't verify how correct this is, but Wikipedia claims that the design was originally created for the Paris resort, but plans got put on hold and they decided to additionally build it at DCA in the mean time. That doesn't really answer your question, though. I dunno why they used the same design, but I don't think it's that huge a crime. All the ToT designs look pretty great to me, with a lot of similarities anyway. It's cool to have different designs to encourage guests to visit multiple resorts, but it's also cool to offer a desirable experience that'd otherwise require a long trip to attain.

Actually, if you look carefully all of the Towers, except Florida, are the same. The one in Tokyo is simply gussied up on the outside differently. But if you look at its shape, it is the same.

Wait, you mean all Disney Parks shouldn't be identical?!

Possibly lack of space, and definitely lack of budget. Rumor had it that they were trying to add the cheapest possible E-ticket, so that's what we got.

Amazingly, from what I understand, the honor of most expensive Tower of Terror does not go to Tokyo DisneySea. That honor apparently goes to Walt Disney Studio Park, but cheapest still goes to Disney's California Adventure.

Personally I like the outside design of DCA's the best. To me its more elegant that the original ToT in WDW. But the ride in WDW is SO FAR SUPERIOR. I know they were trying to double capacity and everything, but the overall show is not as good!

Nah. WDW's is actually smaller than DCA's (2 elevator shafts compared to 3).

Paris's & DCA's are EXACTLY the same.

I heard that it was different in CA because of earthquake safety codes...

WDW's TOT was probably more expensive than TDS because of the complicated ride system, which is far more superior to TDS's ride system.
