Disney World wait times can be brutal sometimes.
We’ve seen wait times for popular rides like Rise of the Resistance and Flight of Passage reach up to 4 HOURS during busy seasons. And, we regularly see high waits for rides like Slinky Dog Dash, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, and Frozen Ever After. But, these wait times can be even longer than usual when part of the ride isn’t working, which is exactly what’s going on with a popular ride in Hollywood Studios right now!
Only half of the elevators are working at Tower of Terror right now!
When we first walked past Tower this morning to go check out what new merch might be in the gift shop, the wait was at 45 minutes.
But, on our way back just a few minutes later, Cast Members were making the announcement that half of the elevators are down right now. We looked at the wait time, and it had shot up to 120 minutes!
Tower of Terror has 4 elevators total, so only 2 are operating right now, which definitely affects the wait time. Just be prepared for a longer than normal wait if you’re trying to ride Tower of Terror today. We’ll keep you updated on if and when all of the elevators are running again, so stay tuned to DFB for more!
