as the on-screen Crush begins to have actual conversations with guests in the audience.
Real-time computer graphics are used to accurately move Crush's mouth when forming
words.
A mom from Henderson, Colorado, has a crush on Crush:
Turtle Talk with Crush
is a must-see. Our 4-year-old was picked out of the
crowd by Crush, and we were just amazed by the technology that allowed one-
on-one conversation. It was adorable and enjoyed by everyone from Grammy
and Papa to the 4-year-old!
TOURING TIPS
The animation is brilliant, and guests of all ages list

DESCRIPTION AND COMMENTS
The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror is a unique species
of Disney thrill ride, though it borrows elements of The Haunted Mansion at Disneyland
Park. The story is that you're touring a once-famous Hollywood hotel gone to ruin. As at
Star Tours, the queuing area integrates guests into the adventure as they pass through the
hotel's once-opulent public rooms. From the lobby, guests are escorted into the hotel's lib-
rary, where Rod Serling, speaking on an old black-and-white television, greets the guests
and introduces the plot.
