My Favorite Florida Thrill: Hollywood Tower of Terror

Wow! I could hear people yelling and screaming for their lives from the welcome door to line up for their turn on one of the scariest thrill rides in Orlando.  It was such a rush just listening to adults and teens yelling.  As we got closer to the Hollywood Hotel Tower of Terror, thick fog builded up and soon our hair looked soaked.  My brother and mom were extremely afraid, but they came along since we talked them into it.

We were soon in a haunted decorated lobby. Everything looked deserted and old.  There were spider webs everywhere on everything and dust was on all the furniture.  When we stepped inside the tower, our footprints would show because of the fake dust that covered the floor.  Finally, we were only steps away from the elevator, which was the ride.  The elevator would drop 10 stories, go back up, back down, up again, and down for the last time.

Finally! It was our turn. We sat in the second row. We started to go up and soon we stopped on the second floor, which was a surprise.  A hologram of a family of four showed up and started to talk to us and everything in the background seemed like space. There were stars everywhere; we could not even see our seats because it was covered in stars.  We went up one more floor, stopped and went straight ahead into the darkness. We heard a voice talking to us, he ended his speech saying, “This elevator will go so high, and it’ll fall into the twilight zone.”  The elevator rushed high up, two windows opened up and we saw a beautiful view of Florida, except for the fact, it felt like we were about to fall out.  We heard an evil laughter and then, “BOOM!” We dropped ten stories, it was so fast, I was not even sitting on my seat, I was in air, feeling a pressure on my thighs because the belt was pulling me back on the seat.  Lights kept flashing; we were pulled up and down four-five times.  The most amazing thing was, it all happened within two minutes and it was worth the two-hour wait.
