Tower of Terror: Untold Stories is an entirely new experience developed by GSK for Virtual Paradise. Whereas Tower of Terror Remastered was ported and upgraded in quality from ActiveWorlds, and had been in use since 2013 and therefore subject to that platform's restrictions, Untold Stories is developed exclusively for Virtual Paradise from the ground up. As a result, the level of detail has been increased significantly throughout the attraction, and teleporting between each pre- and post-ride scene is no longer necessary. Additionally, Untold Stories introduces new technologies and development methods exclusive to Virtual Paradise, including smoother camera movements, increased animation counts, and a probability engine, used to determine slight differences between rides at any given moment.
Tower of Terror: Untold Stories takes place in an abandoned elevator located inside The Hollywood Tower Hotel, an elaborate facade created to house the ride and its operations systems. According to the back story, riders are placed inside a seemingly ordinary hotel elevator, from which people mysteriously disappeared under the influence of a supernatural element many years prior.
Expansions
Like Tower of Terror Remastered before it, Untold Stories was built to easily allow for additional ride profiles, called expansions.
After Dark (Halloween 2017)
Tower of Terror: Untold Stories will receive a thematic overlay for Halloween 2017, titled Tower of Terror: After Dark, which will include new lighting, revised show scenes, and a remixed soundtrack, featuring music and voiceovers from The Haunted Mansion, an upcoming Airpark attraction. The overlay will be available throughout the month of October 2017, with the original attraction returning in November.
