Well done Raptor! Thanks!

Quote from: "RnRCj"Does anybody know if La Terrasse is going to be painted to match the colour of TOT?

I'm not sure, but I have heared rumours that La Terrasse would remain white.

Fantastic photoshop work!

Quote from: "Maarten"I'm not sure, but I have heared rumours that La Terrasse would remain white.

I don't have any evidence to support those rumours, but I totally believe La Terrasse will remain white. It constrasts nicely with the Tower itself and adds a bit of variety to the park (which is fast becoming a sea of yellowness).

And now, looky here:

And another :arrow: //http://www.dlrp.fr/news/upload/wds/tot/060606/tot02.jpg

I could look at these for hours. You can imagine how awesome WDS will be in say 10 years now, when they've expanded it further back...

when do you think the facade will be done?

Well our Tower of Terror is meant to open in around October 2007. Tokyo's tower, the same basic ride design but with a more elaborate exterior, is due to open September this year and is just about finished on the outside now.

So, by using a totally inaccurate, unscientific research process... It'll probably be just about done on the outside by about this time next year, May/June 2006. Maybe a bit earlier. Just my guess though.

That would work out nicely with Toon Studios opening aswell - with the extra guests in the park for those attractions they don't want the first thing they see to be a load of scaffolding and concrete, so an almost-finished Tower will give a great first impression to those extra guests and a tempting glimpse at the future, making them want to return to the park again.

WOW! It really takes over the park, doesn't it? I can see some very long queues for this ride after it opens. It's right after the entrance and everybody will just go straight to it.

THANK GOD FOR FASTPASSES!

Hey Raptor, I like that picture where you could see the tower rising above the treetops from the road. It makes me get excited.

The tower seems taller in the high resolution photo than in all the others. (not because it's a big picture!)

Dlrpfan · June 16, 2006, 09:12:26 AM

The best thing about this photo is that - finally - we can see exactly how much space there really is between the Tower of the end of La Terrasse. I've always been worried there wouldn't be enough space there and ToT would feel too shoehorned in, but it actually looks just about right.

ToT fits so naturally into this spot in the park, it makes the DCA version look more and more tacked-on each day.
