Disney's The Making of The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror with Kirk Cameron (1994)

This TV special hosted by sitcom star Kirk Cameron explored the behind the scenes story of Disney's latest theme park attraction, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. The original premise of the ride was there was a haunted hotel Disney moved to their lot and it's haunted. The Twilight Zone angle is this is the setting for the lost episode of the series and you're the star.

Throughout this attraction are references to various episodes of the original Twilight Zone series. The voice of Rod Serling is perfectly recreated by actor Mark Silverman. Walt Disney had been friends with Rod Serling and Serling had given Walt the Mystic Seer prop from the episode Nick of Time starring William Shatner.

When the ride opened in 1994 it only featured one drop. Due to guest complaints a second drop was added.

In 1997 a TV movie based on the attraction aired on The Wonderful World of Disney starring Steve Guttenberg and Kirsten Dunst. This was The Walt Disney Company's first film based on a theme park attraction.

This ride has since been rethemed with a Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy theme so The Twilight Zone Tower of terror no longer exists.

Original airdate November 8, 1994
