History Trivia / TowerOfTerror

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Early in the attraction's development, there was consideration of making it an ''actual'' hotel. Naturally, having the constant screams of guests on a thrill ride went against the idea of a hotel being a place for rest and relaxation, so it was scrapped.

* RoleReprisal: Lindsay Ridgeway reprised her role as Sally in the film, a few years after she appeared in the ''Tower of Terror'' ride's pre-show video.[[note]]Ridgeway's character wasn't officially given a name in the original attraction, but has since been retroactively referred to by fans as the same Sally Shine from the film, despite the latter being a more or less an InNameOnly adaptation due to the lack of ''Twilight Zone'' references.[[/note]]

* DivorcedInstallment: The theme park ride is based on ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959'', complete with the FakeShemp being used to feature the late Creator/RodSerling hosting the pre-show introduction. The movie drops the ''Twilight Zone'' connection, probably to avoid paying royalties to Creator/{{CBS}}. (The version of the ride at Tokyo [=DisneySea=] also drops the connection to ''The Twilight Zone'', though partly because the TV show isn't well-known in Japan, and partly because of the fact that the Japanese had different beliefs and customs in regards to the occult and the supernatural.)

* ActorAllusion: Of a sort. Sally Shine, an obvious parody of Shirley Temple, is played by Lindsay Ridgeway. This isn't the only time Lindsay played a Shirley Temple {{Expy}} - in fact, the same year this movie was made she was the singing voice for Darla Dimple (in which Shirley Temple meets EnfantTerrible) in ''WesternAnimation/CatsDontDance''. And a few years earlier, she was Tina Denmark -- a dark twist on Shirley Temple -- in the musical ''Ruthless''.
