Tips:
*While this attraction is not based on an actual episode of The Twilight Zone, props and other homages to actual Twilight Zone episodes can be found in the lobby, library and boiler room scenes of the attraction's entrance queue, and in the attraction's exit queue.
*This attraction rarely sees a wait time of more than 20 minutes. If the posted wait time is long, that usually indicates one or more of the elevator shafts is not working. In this situation, recommendations are to either obtain a FastPass and return later, or visit the attraction another day when all shafts are working.
*Currently, the only way to reach this attraction is by walking through Hollywood Pictures Backlot and making a right at the Hyperion Theatre. There is no direct access from A Bug's Land, Pacific Wharf, the Timon Parking Lot or any other area of the park.
*The on-ride photo is taken during the first opportunity to look outside at the top of the shaft. It is easy to pose for the camera.
