The elevator in the attraction is not just a normal elevator, it’s a semi autonomous vehicle that follows wire signals into elevator shafts it can lock itself into.
I remember riding these back Mid-Winter Break 2010, while it was fun, I got dizzy from the ride. My Wait Time was about 90min-2h, since our Fast Pass Tickets didn't work for this ride. Did you have Fast Pass or How Long was the Wait?
It's my favorite ride. And they used Dover to help make it possible with all of the elevators/motors. If you didn't know, when you were dropping, you were in the other elevator shaft, not the one shown at the beginning of the video. Great POV :)
QuarioQuario54321 That's interesting, a speed of 2700 FPM is insane. That would make it the fastest elevator in a low-rise shaft. The fastest low-rise elevator I've ever heard of is in a hospital in Denver and it travels 2000 FPM. It goes from the ground to the 10th floor in 2-3 seconds.
The motor of the Tower of Terror is actually a long and very powerfull drum motor Check this video that includes the long drum motor: ruclips.net/video/A0B2mltQYa0/видео.html
Fun fact: The elevators are made by Otis.
It actually does seem like a lot of Disney’s elevators are made by Otis
I don’t know why, but I like it looking at the elevator fall from outside

actually it was otis that helped with the ride system
The exact speed of the drop is 39.5 Miles Per Hour according to a Disney employee that I asked
It's free fall I don't know it's terminal velocity which could be that I guess
ElevatorMan45 there was an elevator that went 51 miles per hour
LOLOLOLOAHLOAH WHOA WHOA!!! That's soo funny! The Elevator is a death trap!!! It malfunctioned!!! Low on oil!! In a good way! :)

I'M SORRY BUT YOUR REACTION HAS ME DEAD LOL
Otis made this ride!!!!!
Floridian Elevators Yup! Even the Wikipedia says Otis.
Best Otis elevator in the world, change my mind lmao
I went on this ride back in 2012, and every time the elevator went down, I was flying off the seat, but I didn’t fall of the ride.
I like this ride
That's one crazy elevator! I wonder if it was manufactured by an actual elevator company.
QuarioQuario54321 My question is why OTIS would even agree to take part in manufacturing that!

Elevating Denver I researched it, It is OTIS
Elevators Of Indy OK, sounds good to me. It's really interesting that Otis would want to make something like that though.
+technicalboy “techgeek5000” 3000 Well, it's kinda an elevator-ride hybrid.
a tech confirmed to me that these are maintained by otis
Floridian elevators is right its made by otis!!!:D
Your screams are funny good video
That ride gave me dizziness
My Otis is 787.09 speed because it aĺ the Otis mix
The motor of the Tower of Terror is actually a long and very powerfull drum motor
Check this video that includes the long drum motor: ruclips.net/video/A0B2mltQYa0/видео.html
Woooooooooowoooooooooowoooooooooo make me laugh 🤣
That is Fun right?
Yes! I had a BLAST! :D I heard that Otis designed the ride, but I don't know the fixtures though.
@@JimLiElevators it's a Otis buttons carcin
What brand and what fixtures?
WindyCity Boy2808 Otis made this and I’m pretty sure people control it from a room
What kind are the elevators for the ride?
Otis I think.
SHANGHAI TOWERS ELEVATOR IS FASTER BY 0.5 MILES AN HOUR
There are doors behind the sign
At 4:12 god that's fast.
Is it traction, hydraulic or a mix?
stormblade123hsm Traction.
***** What motor is it powered by? 100HP geared traction?
stormblade123hsm I don't know.
JimLiElevators Could be a Gen2 but I highly doubt it. Yeah Gen2s can’t hold that much weight
@@TheMatsushitaMan drum motor with a counterweight, sounds rare
3 kph faster than Taipei 101 elevator
