Ariana Grande Fights to Save the Iconic Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at Disney World

I’m here to share a story that has the Disney community buzzing with excitement and a touch of nostalgia. Ariana Grande, a beloved pop superstar, has passionately pleaded with Disney to “protect and preserve” the iconic Twilight Zone Tower of Terror attraction at Disney World in Orlando, Florida.

In a recent appearance on the podcast “Las Culturistas,” Grande expressed her “dire desperation” to keep the Florida version of the ride intact, even though she has “love and respect” for the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, which has already taken over the Disneyland version of the Tower of Terror in California.

Grande’s open letter to Disney’s leadership, including Bob Iger, read, “Perhaps this message comes prematurely, but I would be remiss if I did not reach out with a potential matter of grave concern.” “I humbly implore you not to follow suit in the wake of the most recent alterations that have befallen your historic park in California—yes, I’m referring to the calamitous loss/makeover of the Tower of Terror ride here.” Grande wrote in her open letter.

The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror has been a beloved fixture at Disney’s Hollywood Studios since its debut in 1994, offering thrill-seekers a chilling experience that transports them into the eerie world of the classic TV series “The Twilight Zone.” Generations of Disney fans have made the ride a must-do due to its heart-pounding drop sequences and vintage Hollywood-inspired theming.

However, the ongoing advancements and Disney’s aim to integrate its brands have put the very existence of this iconic attraction in jeopaThe rebranding of the Disneyland Tower of Terror as “Guardians of the Galaxy—Mission: Breakout!” in 2017 sparked outrage among many loyal fans.fans.

Ariana Grande is using her platform to rally the Disney community to action as rumors swirl about the potential re-theming of the Florida version. “Please allow the iconic and tremendous Tower of Terror to stand tall, permanently, in the name of historical preservation, spooky honor, and good, old-fashioned fun,” she pleaded in her letter. “I hope that you’ll consider this humble plea from a passionate fan.”

Unfortunately, with the current state of American politics, it’s unlikely that the Tower of Terror will receive the historic landmark designation that could protect it from becoming another Marvel brand extension. And without a race- or gender-based controversy to fuel the culture warriors, the ride’s fate may be sealed.

But for now, we can take solace in the fact that Ariana Grande, a beloved figure in the Disney community, is using her voice to fight for the preservation of this cherished attraction. As she so eloquently put it, “It’s real desperation to protect and preserve what the Tower of Terror is.” And in these troubled times, we could all use a little more of that fighting spirit.
