The latest version of Disney’s Tower of Terror attraction opened this past fall at their Tokyo Disney Sea park in Japan and the façade is frickin’ amazing. Like the other Towers of Terror it’s just under 200’ and features a free-fall attraction inside. But who cares about that – the exterior is the show. This top-heavy architectural mélange of Moorish, Gothic, and Victorian styling clearly appears to be the work of a wealthy eccentric, and it was, according to the attraction’s storyline.

The official attraction website is exhaustively elaborate but heavy on back-story. For photos, like the ones I stole above, see here and this site for tons more info and full video of the attraction and grounds.

Just for fun, I’ve put together a comparison of Tower of Terror attractions from around the world in descending order of aesthetic appeal.
