Twilight Zone: Tower of Terror
The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, in Disney Studios, probably has some of the best theming out of all of the attractions within Walt Disney World. A huge part of that theming is the background music that plays in the general area of the attraction.
The music is a selection, no doubt, was carefully selected and works well on two levels. First, they are selections from the 1920′s, 1930′s decades that seamlessly blend the Tower of Terror with the rest of Disney Studio’s Sunset Strip. And secondly, the selection that plays the closer you get to the tower contain certain ‘haunting’ style that work extremely well with the other-worldly theme attraction. The song Jeep’s Blues is a perfect example of this.
Below you’ll find a list of the songs played, who performs them, and even (because I love you) sound samples of each.
