A Portable Tower of Terror?

Imagine you're visiting your local state or county fair and you see this rising up in the distance.

No, your eyes aren't fooling you.

Essentially, this is a portable version of drop ride that looks an awfully lot like Disney's Tower of Terror attraction.

You can read more about it from the site where the ride is currently being sold.

This faux Tower of Terror is almost 80 feet high and has two drop towers that can hold 20 passengers each.

Plus, the attraction has some type of 3D movie integrated within its ride experience.  (I guess that's one thing this Tower has over Disney's Tower... 3D!)

I've searched high and low for some video of this, but have come up empty.  I'd love to see this in action!

Sure, this thing doesn't hold a candle to the real Tower of Terror, but I bet it's a popular star on the traveling fair circuit!

If only I had some extra money lying around... this would look good in my backyard!

  1. I've done this ride on the biggest fair of the Netherlands. It is really a peace of crape. Nothing special. A simple simulator is more excited. The drop is really slow, a frog hopper is more intens.... a real case of antisipointment... They sell it at the outside if it is something therific but it isn't.
