Tower of Terror Case Study 2: surroundings

One of the best things Disney does is support their attractions through the surrounding environments. This is an amazing thing. Not only are the attractions themed, but so are the local restaurants, architecture, and details surrounding the ride. Before a new ride is designed, an appropriate location must allow the ride to feature the correct time period, dolor scheme, architectural style. etc. Tower of Terror os a great example of this. The Hollywood hotel themed ride is featured at the end of Sunset Boulevard. A rarely seen a graphic sign at the beginning of the street advertises for the "new" hotel. The 1930's Hollywood attraction fits in its environment, and even completes the scene. In addition, the rides vibrant purple and orange lighting give the ride a special focus on the street.
