Today marks the 10th anniversary of one of the most popular attractions in all of the Disneyland Resort: “The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror”!
Opening 10 years after its original counterpart, the Tower of Terror possesses all the things that make a great Disney attraction. From every cob web to every leaky pipe, the details are fantastic.
I would now like to share with you a few photographs we have taken over the years showcasing the grand hotel in all its eerie glory.
I saw an interesting thing on a Disney blog where someone’s comment signature was a running count of the most rides accomplished in a day. I have never thought to keep track but I now have a mission — to not only meet their record but to smash it.
Have any of you ever counted the number of rides in a day? I would assume that riding something multiple times would count as a line is a line is a line. I do, however, consider having a handicap pass to be in another category.
Let’s create a bracket and set the record for most rides ridden in a day as a normal guest, as a guest with a handicap pass, and perhaps as a guest with a plaid cast member.

Let’s start filling this in. We obviously have to use the honor system but pictures and stories are encouraged! I’ll update this as we find out more. This sounds like it could be fun!
***UPDATE #2:
I think I found a solution to the issue. Let us know if all makes sense to you. Happy riding!
***UPDATE #1:
Should we include semi-queue-based attractions such as Lincoln, Tiki Room, Muppets, etc. as they are not “rides” (a word I specifically used in leu of “attractions”)? Let us know in the comments below. Thanks!

Here’s another in our “tiny details of Disneyland” series. I love this kind of stuff at the parks. The tiny details that start as a rumor and are confirmed by a cast member or website are what make repeat visits to the park a joy for APs and families alike.
Today’s easter-egg is at DCA inside the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. Upstairs in the boiler room part of the queue, this “Lil’ Homies” action figure (available at your local grocery store or penny (.50¢) machine at the mall) stands guard at the far right elevator.
He’s difficult to see in the dark queue but he’s there! He welcomes everyone to the upper right-side freight elevator. Keep an eye out for him next time you take a trip into the 5th dimension at the Disney California Adventure park!
