It is fine, she helped me concer my fear every time she had me go on, and also a tip is to smile on the drops, she told me that and now I’m not as scared, and have fast passes to go on it today!
I’m going on the TOT next next week and I am terrified of this ride, every time I went to Disneyland I never wanted to go.. Thank you so much for the tips this have given me the courage to go on it and I hope I survive!
Just got on the Tower of Terror a few days ago after a 10+ year long fear of it. 😅 So as someone who was terrified of it for a long time, IT WAS SO MUCH FUN. I mean yeah I still dread going on it cause of the scary theming, but you will for sure at least enjoy it once like I did. Also like you said, I would for sure try to get on this ride ASAP with low wait times to get it out of the way as soon as you could. I rode it for the first time during an after hours event so the ride was basically a walk-on with no wait times that helped me from being able to chicken out right at the last minute. The second time I rode it I had a 30 min wait and even after riding it once I felt slight motives to chicken out which might’ve happened if I didn’t have a walk-on wait time for the first time I rode it. Also, for a little more comfort, the ride isn’t as long as you’d think it would be. The drops take around 30 seconds of time which thanks to you being terrified makes you lose all sense of time and makes it feel like it goes by faster. Overall, would still go on it again, but yeah I don’t think that sense of fear goes completely away anytime. 😅
Loving all these tips and suggestions for overcoming the fear. Also massive well done for managing to get on the ride. I know that from personal experience that is the hardest part. So thrilled to hear that you enjoy the ride too. It's one of my all time favourites. Thank you for watching 😀 x
This video is the most down to earth internet find about Tower Of Terror I’ve seen. I am petrified of the ride and even at the age of 25 I openly cried in Disney because I wanted to go on it so badly but couldn’t push myself to go on it. We’re going to Disney again next week and I WANT to go on it, it’ll be a huge fear to face. This video is so helpful, even to the part where my partner went on it before me and he said I’d love it but I didn’t believe him. Wish me luck 😅
Glad that you have found this video helpful. I had such a fear of it and now it's one of my absolute favourites. I hope you are able to conquer your fear. Thank you for watching x
@@sohelenaandmartyn I'm back to your video again for preparation for Florida next week. I sadly did not go on Tower of Terror when I went last time but I am a lot more prepared this time and I knew the video I needed to come back to to confirm that 🤣🤣
I finally did it and it was incredible. New top 5 ride

Thank you so much for your advice ! I'm going to the parks on Sunday and hope to be able to ride it for the first time. I'm terrified but I know I have to give it a try at least once. I can't judge a ride by a name without trying it !
Thanks Martyn, hopefully this helps my 12 year old son, he actually rode it when he was 4 and loved it so much he had to ride it again but hasn’t rode it since then. Great advice.
This is so helpful to me. I've been to WDW every few years since I was a kid, and on our honeymoon and I also could never even walk towards the building because I was so frightened. I'm trying to work up the courage to go on our trip in a few months. Your video has been the only thing to make me feel at ease.
Thank you so much for watching. I had the fear so bad. I would make all the excuses. I hope that this video helps you get to the stage where you can get on it once to see if you like it. Thank you for watching x
I have to say THANK YOU!! I went on it and I’m so proud that I did! I watched your video right before and it helped so much. You’re the best. If you’re reading this and considering it, you got this!
I have just watched your video. I want to thankyou. I'm going in a months time and even though I'm petrified my husband really wants to go on it. Iv been watching so many videos to try to ease my mind about it. I'm petrified of falling in a dark space. Iv seen tje ride in person and got shaky thinking about it. However you said something that I forgot.. it's disneyland your not going to be harmed. So thankyou
I’m so happy that this video still brings comfort. I was so afraid of this ride for so long. Now it’s one of my absolute favourites. I should probably think about doing a vid like this to help me with other rides. 😂 We hope you have a fab time and also…enjoy tower of terror! Thank you for watching x
Oh no! It can divide opinion this one. I always say that it's up to the individual, you don't have to do it if you don't want to. There's so many other rides to enjoy 😀
i have a extremely weak stomach and i grt nervous thinking about it but this week friday im going and i really want to ride it (ps i have never been on a drop ride have any advice?) also great video! also even if i dont wanna go on it i allowed my friends to force me because i dont have the guts to go on it myself and also its gonna probably be the only time i ever go to hollywood studies
I think its best to make it one of the first things you do then it is out of the way. Try and distract yourself in the line somehow. Hardest part is just getting through the line and into the lift. I believe in you 😀 you can do it! x
I went on Tower of Terror two decades ago and I haven't ridden it again, even though I love the Twilight Zone! I just recently conquered my fear of rock n roller coaster and cosmic rewind and LOVE them now, but Tower of Terror will have to wait til next time!
What would you compare the feeling in your stomach to? Space Mountain or Rockin' Rollarcoaster?? It's the feeling of the drop that terrifies me... but I managed to master those two rides the last time I was in Disney World. The only one I haven't rides is TOT.
Hi Erica 😀 it's a very different feeling because the motion is different to Space and Rockin but not sure how to describe it, I found once the first drop happened I got used to the motion. Sorry I couldn't be much help there. x
Erica Ingram To be honest, it’s not close to either. The drop doesn’t compare to either, it’s straight down and others are kinda slanted. The drops are intense not going to lie, but after the first few drops you get used to it. Ride it!
I start freaking out and feel like I am going to pass out and have a panick attack I'm 10/11 and my mom makes us ride all the rides once and I have to admit I'm the annoying kid who cries on the ride but I don't like it.. Uhm- I went on it cuz we went 4 days ago and LOVED it I laughed the whole time!😂😆
It can be such a daunting ride. I've 100% been there myself with it. I used to not be able to even look at it. Whatever way you feel about the ride is totally fine and you don't need to do it if you don't want to. Remember, you're the one in control. x
I love all the rides, but it be never got on that one!! Makes you feel so uneasy with the dropping!! I love Helena's tip about imagine they are bringing you down and not dropping you though!! Well done! And now look you can't stay off 😉😍🤭
Haha, yeah I love it now. It took quite a few tips and persuasive words from Helena to do so but I got there in the end. I totally get your feeling though, it's a very different sensation. x
Funnily enough the parachute drop seemed scarier to me because you can see the height, it also seems to last longer. Whereas at least the Tower of Terror is in darkness for most of it.
Thanks for the tips! I haven't gotten past my fear of ToT yet, but maybe someday. I'm also scared of Rockin Roller Coaster and Hyperspace Mountain. Have you gotten over your fear of those yet? If so which was scariest?
I'd say that TOT was the scariest for me. With Hyperspace I had in my mind that it was Star Wars and I love Star Wars, always Helena went on and told me I would enjoy it. Rockin Roller I was nervous about but only because of the quick start. They are both incredibly smooth rollercoasters so they are enjoyable. If you go on one, you'll be able to go on the other as they are similar coasters. x
When i went to Disneyland Paris, I was really looking forward to going on Tower of Terror. I knew all about it, watched videos. But i hated all of it. Apart from the view of the park, I was so glad to get off. My legs were like jelly. Never ever again!!
Hi Georgina, oh no! That's a shame to hear. But at least you conquered it and you know what it's like. Like you said, you never have to do it again 😀 It is one of those rides, you have to experience it to fully know whether you're going to love it or hate it. x
This has helped me a lot! I know when thinking of TOT I think of a slightly faster lift (Or elevator) I went on it last May I hated it as I built it up to be scary but now I think differently of it. I am going back to Disneyland Paris in May and I am going to Walt Disney Studios first and I really want to go back on it now. The thing is I am now worrying that I have a new image in my head but will think differently whilst on it (Or for me I usually think "Get me off!" while I just sit down on a ride I don't think I would like) I am now wondering should I go back on? This time I will be going with my schoolmates and not family.
Hi Frank, it's completely up to you whether you try it. Make sure you do though cause you want to 😀 Yeah, I have that feeling sometimes of wanting ask to get off but I just try and stop myself and when the door closes I think "Ok, well half the battle is won cause I''m on it". Let me know how you get on x
I know that it is guardians of the galaxy themed now and i am still so scared! I never even had a want to ride it, but now my friend really wants me to ride it and i don’t wanna let her down!!! I am just scared that I will hate it and cry through the entire experience, I love incredicoaster and other rollercoasters BUT droppers scare the hell out of me 😵💫
Thank you so much for watching 😀 It is a tough one to conquer. Did you manage it? The one that really helped me was the fact that the ride was being pulled rather than dropping. I am interesting in seeing how the Guardians of the Galaxy ride differs in terms of theming. x
Martyn, could you tell us (approximately) how long the longer drops are? That's what scares me, I hate the feeling of falling, but I think it'd be okay if it was a quick drop or a series of quick drops, the longer ones terrify me though
I have the annual pass, I've gone on this ride so many times and somehow it still does not get easier for me 😭(hence why I looked up this video LOL) such a fun ride and I LOVE it but I always find myself with sweaty palms just thinking about the ride
Does the ride ever just not have a drop that goes all the way to the top and then comes all the way down like a long one? Or will it always have a longer drop? I'm terrified 😭
Hi Emily, hope you’re well. I know your fear. I was so terrified of this ride. Sometimes there are longer drops but they are interspersed with shorter ones if memory serves correctly. ❤️ x
I would want to go with my Friends, the first time I went I had a fastpass but I was still scared of it, so I said I didnt wanted to go so a man told me to go with her into a normal elevator
Yeah it's always better if there is someone there who knows you to see whether you'll enjoy it and they can support you too. I was so scared but Helena really helped me x
That happened with me! I started to get upset once I got seated so a cast member led me to the regular elevator. So technically, I did ride the elevator in the Tower of Terror! Lol
What scares me so much about ToT is it doesnt drop you at all, you're pulled down faster than gravity and it terrifies me :c the boyfriend wants me to go on it on his birthday :s
You don't have to do what you don't want to you. It's completely up to. If you fancy doing it then I would say make sure it's one of the first things you do 😀 That means getting it over with. Then if you don't like it then you don't do it again and if you do and you like it then you have more time to enjoy it. Let us know how it pans out, best of luck x
great video i am goin on friday december 5 i am actually terrify but watching this video might help me how bad are the drops let me know i been on Expedition everest splash mountain and space mountain wish me luck follow me back on my instagram @joffre26
