TowerSecrets.com is a labor of love by Mandi Burley, web developer and artist. I’ve been fascinated by the tower and its inner workings ever since I was a little kid. The purpose of this site is to collect and preserve the attraction’s publicly-known history, as well as give tribute to what I believe is Disney’s finest attraction. For the record – my favorite version of the ride is the original found in WDW, Florida.
The Tower is so many of my favorite things – ghosts, creepy old buildings, a science fiction backstory, an exhilarating ride experience – rolled up into one tall, beautiful, cobwebbed bundle. The ToT was (and still is, in many ways) a mystery to me. I’ve ridden it enough times to encounter some fascinating glitches – including arriving at the drop shaft with the lights on, and encountering another car load of passengers in the “5th dimension”, and the ride still surprises me every time I visit it.
I hope you enjoy the site.
