Yay! A roller coaster credit!

It kind of looks like a "Roller Skater", but it's not....

KidTums was smart and rode with Elissa, while the two of us squeezed our fat asses into the car!

And of course, there is VIDEO of Flounder's Flying Fish Coaster! Hooray!

So two things you need to know about this version of Indy: 1. It IS different from the California Disneyland version, not by much, but it IS different...and of course, better! 2. The attraction has nothing, zero, zilch, nada, anything to do with the horrible movie that shares the same name!

First off, the queue, OMG, it's very, very different than the California version, being that they don't need to move the guests from Adventureland to the Eeyore parking lot, so while the queue is very different, it's equally if not so much more impressive.

My favorite part of the queue, though, is "Paco", the stereotypical Mexican that gives you the rider safety rules!

"Hey Paco! Where did you want me to put my seatbelt again? And where can I get a burrito after the ride?"

The ride vehicles themselves, pretty much exactly the same as California's Indy and WDW's Countdown to Extinction....sorry, Dinosaur.

Oh, then there is this! What is this you might ask? Watch the video! =)

"Ugh, terrible sequels...why did I have to make terrible sequels?"

This is actually a 3D image! Put on some 3D glasses and you'll see just one car, but in 3D! Try it! Seriously!

"Hey everyone! Guess where we are?" =)

Now, just take a moment and look at this building. Just LOOK AT IT! It's totally ridiculous! There is no reason that it needed to look that awesome...but this is Toyko Disney...so it does.

And let's just be clear about something here... There's "Good Tower" at WDW, "Bad Tower" at DCA and DSP, and this is "Shiriki Tower" - Got it? Good. You'll be tested on it at the end of the update.

Yup, there is cool little glowey things here too...

The interior of the hotel is very different, but totally amazing looking!

The attention to detail in the queue is just incredible.

Ok, so let me explain a little of the storyline - In this version of Tower of Terror, the hotel is owned by this eccentric rich dude named "Harrison Hightower", he's totally into expeditions and bringing back artifacts from far away places. But he's kind of a dick and pretty much steals them. He went on an expedition to Africa and stole an idol named "Shiriki Utundu." The natives were none-too-happy with Hightower using his five-finger-discount on Shiriki so they placed a curse on the idol, which would in turn curse Hightower and everything he does. The hotel went to hell, literally, and now you have been invited in for a tour of the museum of Hightower's artifacts. But what about Shiriki? Isn't he going to curse you too? Sound cool? It is.

Now, the operations of this ride are nearly identical to the versions at DCA and Paris. But just look at the queue. OMG. So much better! It doesn't look like freakin' silly toon town in here!
