Tower of Terror: Untold Stories is an attraction developed by GSK exclusively for Virtual Paradise, and the fourteenth generation of the attraction. Untold Stories introduces new technologies and development methods powered by the TX ride system and exclusive to Virtual Paradise, including smoother camera movements, seamless transitions, increased animation counts, and a probability engine, used to determine slight differences between ride sessions at any given moment.
Tower of Terror: Untold Stories takes place inside The Hollywood Tower Hotel, an elaborate façade created to house the ride and its operations systems. According to the original backstory, riders are placed inside a seemingly ordinary hotel elevator, from which people mysteriously disappeared under the influence of a supernatural element many years prior, though Untold Stories deviates from this.
Differences to Tower of Terror Remastered
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 was developed for Virtual Paradise from the ground up.
- Seamless transitions: With Remastered and iterations prior in ActiveWorlds, cell limits required teleporting the user between navigable scenes before and after the main attraction. Untold Stories makes the entire experience seamless, so there's no interruption from start to finish.
- New architecture: Most iterations, including Remastered, used a Pueblo Deco architectural design similar to that of the attraction at Disney California Adventure Park and Walt Disney Studios Park in Paris, France. Untold Stories uses the Neo-Mediterranean and Spanish Gothic architectural design similar to that of the attraction at Disney's Hollywood Studios Park in Florida.
- Expansions: Remastered used one singular ride profile in the beginning, but when additional profiles were added onto it (i.e. The Rectal Thermometer Battle Memorial Update), a "menu selection screen" was used to allow a user to select which ride profile they wanted to experience. With Untold Stories, when new ride profiles are added that are permanent additions, new parts of the basement queue will be opened up to accommodate the new profiles, further adding to the seamless transitions promised for Untold Stories.
- 8X Texture Resolution: Most textures in Remastered are 256x256, which a small minority being 512x512. Textures in Untold Stories are 2048x2048 in resolution and utilize normal and specular mapping.
