Tower of Terror Lightning Effect Video

A friend of ours, SuperDry, has posted a link to the green lightning effect in Tokyo DisneySea's Tower of Terror attraction. The green flash and streak can be seen from outside of the building. It begins at the very top penthouse belonging to Harrison Hightower, the hotel's long-disappeared owner. Once the flash begins, it streaks towards one of the three areas where windows are broken. These just happen to be where the elevator doors open and guests inside can take a look out before they plunge down the shaft. The green lightning effect is timed so that it appears and strikes just before the elevator falls. It is a neat effect that is original to Tokyo's version of the attraction.

NOTE: The above link is directly to the video download. Windows Media Player is required for viewing.

After the 5th, What's Next?

Our friend, Malin has posed an interesting question on some of the English-language Disney fan message boards. "Tokyo Disney Sea (sic) 5th Celebrations: The Hangover!" asks what is scheduled for the Park after its 5th Anniversary events end in late May 2007. Will some shows continue or new ones start? How about modifying some existing shows? Lots of speculation abounds, join in the discussion below (registration required for posting):
