*The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror is tied as the tallest structure on Disney property at 199 feet. (The other structure is Expedition Everest).*

Florida state law requires anything over 200 feet to have a blinking red light to alert airplanes. The imagineers did not want to take away from the theming of the ride, so they built it just under the height restriction.

The Tower of Terror is themed after the Hollywood Tower Hotel, with a terrific back story about how 5 people disappeared on October 31, 1939. In true twilight zone fashion, the music, theme and story are enough to make you look for an emergency exit, and THEN the ride begins! Check out this link  for a sneak peak of this terrifying experience! Twilight Zone Tower of Terror also holds some surprises.  During the drop, it's possible a few people have gotten lost in the Elevator Shaft!  Do you have any stories of your adventures in the twilight zone? I’d love to hear all about them!
