Has anyone seen pictures of this yet. So cool and different from the North American versions (since the Japanese are not familar with the Twilight Zone).

Located in the American Waterfront area, the ride will have a totally new storyline, as Japan has never been familiar with the American Twilight Zone TV series. The story takes place in 1912, in the old "Hightower Hotel." Billionaire Harrison Hightower III the owner was a collector of old archeological relics. During his lifetime, he explored lot of exotic countries to locate ancient relics to bring back home. Once he returned, the hotel was his favorite place to display all his archeological treasures. He liked to tell the stories of how he got them, and obviously, this adventurer was sometimes a little unscrupulous as to how he appropriated some of these items. No matter how he obtained his ancient treasures, the parties he organized to unveil the latest additions to his collection were always a big draw to all the jet-setters and journalists.

The day before New Years Eve 1899, during a party he organized to show a strange statue he found in a far-away Africa, Hightower suddenly disappeared as he was heading up to his penthouse on the last floor. No one ever saw him again. The hotel was quickly closed, and an aura of mystery, which only fed the public's curiosity, keep growing about it. Because of its unique architectural and historical interest, the "New York City Conservation Company" finally decided to re-open the hotel for guided tours. Visitors would again be able to see lot of Hightower's collectibles, such as the old temple relics, or a 3000-year-old Egyptian sarcophagus.

Visitors begin their tours in the sumptuous lobby of the hotel, which also promise to include Mr. Hightower's private office, before finally seeing the penthouse located at the top floor. In the elevator up, riders will experience a mysterious force, which leads to unexpected and paranormal encounters, all leading to the attraction's climax.

After their unexpected and paranormal encounters, visitors will of course be able to calm down in a new memorabilia shop on the first floor of the hotel. Apparently located where the hotel's spa used to be, the decor will still feature elements of the old spa's decor. Not a bad storyline, is it?
