The Tower of Terror was one of two major e-ticket attractions Disney considered for the Sunset Boulevard expansion. So what happened to the other one?In this episode of Distory with Kate & Kirk, we check in to a new series exploring the details and history of the Tower of Terror, beginning with its context and backstory. We start with the history of freefall rides and how they evolved over time to set the stage for the Tower later on. Kate then takes us on a weird journey through the Twilight Zone television show before we visit the development of Disney's MGM studios (and Sunset Blvd in particular) and Disney's competition with Universal Studios Florida. We finish this episode with a discussion of a unique monster-themed attraction that never got the green light at Imagineering for this Hollywood-themed park, and highlight where you can still find some small pieces of this lost concept in the Disney parks today.

How far would YOU walk to have homemade bourbon vanilla whipped cream on your pumpkin pie? How much cheese is the minimum amount of cheese, and why? Bay and Laura discuss their most recent adventures at Ollivander's Wand Experience at Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure. It was soooo much all at once: being chosen, magical moments, sincerity, feeling seen, feeling special-special. PS. Why is it so nice to see your friend's dreams come true in real time?
It had been way too long since I'd visited the Universal Orlando resort. I finally rectified that situation with a weekend trip to both Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure last week.
